Vegetarian Diet Benefits:
Vegetarian Diet Benefits: In a vegetarian diet, the food intake of a person is confined to a large variety of foods derived from plants
along with milk and dairy. And, any form of meat and products derived from animals are completely avoided.
Pros of a Vegetarian Diet:
Vegetarians have been noted to consume a lesser amount of proteins, but they do not suffer from problems related to a high protein
diet, such as osteoporosis (characterized by brittle and weak bones) and kidney failure.
The diet includes a high level of antioxidants such as vitamin E & C as well as carotene, which is available in vegetables and fruits.
Additionally, they consume less amount of saturated fats.
Cons of Vegetarian Diet:
The deficiency of vitamin B12 is common amongst vegetarians, as it is mainly available in meat, eggs, and fish. Deficiency of vitamin
B12 can yield rare symptoms such as increased fatigue, shortness of breath, and a temporary loss of body balance.
Lack of protein, as stated above, along with iron and zinc deficiency is also common.

derived from animals, such as poultry, fish, meat, etc.

and fish. Adequate intake of proteins is never an issue for non-vegetarians.

Meat products are loaded with saturated fats, which increase the risk of heart diseases. Studies
have shown that people consuming non-vegetarian diets:
● Have a shorter lifespan and are more vulnerable to chronic diseases.
