Why You Should become a vegetarian

There are several reasons why you should become a vegetarian Basically , it is because of health reasons and the other reason entails that of animal rights . allow me to reintroduce and reiterate some of them to you

First of all , to lead a vegetarian lifestyle is to take in greater amounts of Vitamin E (Leitzmann , 2005 . Vitamin E or Tocopherol ' in turn is extremely beneficial because it helps prevent heart disease (Gandelman , 2006 . Explaining further , it has the capacity to guard the body from oxidation or cell damage (Gandelman , 2006 . Thus , it

follows that Atherosclerosis ' may then be prevented if the body takes in Vitamin E ' as well (Gandelman , 2006 . Atherosclerosis ' is a condition wherein the arteries hardens and narrows which eventually leads to heart disease and stroke (Gandelman , 2006 . On a final note and summarily , Vitamin E ' then plays a large role in the prevention of heart disease (Gandelman , 2006 Second , to lead a vegetarian lifestyle is to take in low amount (if not at all ) of saturated fat and cholesterol (Leitzmann , 2005 . LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol is lower because vegetarian diets have lower saturated fat content as well (Brown , 2006 . This in turn is exceedingly beneficial in the deterrence and even management of medical conditions including the following cardiovascular disease hypertension , diabetes , cancer , osteoporosis , renal disease and dementia , as well as diverticular disease , gallstones and rheumatoid arthritis (Leitzmann , 2005

Third , to lead a vegetarian lifestyle reduces the risk of acquiring a coronary heart disease ' vegetarian diets have larger amounts of high-fiber fruits and vegetables , thus more antioxidants are taken in fighting off the toxins in the body (Brown , 2006

Fourth , clotting factors are lessened because vegetarian diets have larger amounts of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals (Brown , 2006

Fifth , blood pressure is surely lower because vegetarian diets have lower salt content (Brown , 2006

Sixth , diabetes is less likely to occur because vegetarian diets have more complex carbohydrates and fewer simple sugars (Brown , 2006

Seventh , the risk of cancer , specifically of the colon cancer , may be significantly reduced (Brown , 2006 . Breast cancer , pancreatic cancer prostate cancer , and cancer of the kidney may also be avoided through a vegetarian diet (Brown , 2006

Eighth , since a vegetarian diet is said to have : 1 ) less protein 2 lower cholesterol 3 ) lower saturated fat 4 ) lower carbohydrates 6 ) more fiber 7 ) more minerals 8 ) more vitamins , it is very advantageous and beneficial because of the possibility of the following : 1 ) less hypertension 2 ) more endurance 3 ) longevity 4 lesser possibility of acquiring obesity 5 ) less possibility of having osteoporosis , bowel disease , cancer , as well as heart disease (Brown 2006 Last but not least , it is beneficial to lead a vegetarian diet so that we no longer have to violate any of the rights of the animals
