Healthier Diet
Vegetarianism has become a common diet for many people because it’s healthier than others. This diet is really healthy because it’s based on grains, nuts,cereals, seeds, beans, vegetables and fruits. This food is rich in fiber and vitamin C which are essential in a daily diet. Furthermore, they consist in phytochemicals which prevent chronicdiseases. According to a study of 1904 vegetarians over 21 years by the German Cancer Research Center, vegetarian men reduce their risk of early death by 50% and women vegetarians benefit froma 30% reduction in mortality. Vegetarian diets are also helpful to reduce the probability of obesity. To lose weight it’s needed to reduce the number of calories you eat.

It’s moresustainable
Vegetarianism doesn’t only help the body, but it also helps to be sustainable and to preserve our planet. Growing grain to feed animals is much less efficient than eating themourselves. The livestock industry uses huge amounts of land, water and fossil fuels, which produce 18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and all kind of pollution according to a study made bythe Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom. Furthermore, around two million land animals are slaughtered every day in the UK alone, just so that people can eat their flesh. How can we be socruel when there’s another way to eat healthy and help the world?
