For those of you who are in terrible health, going the way of the vegetarian diet can do wonders to your health. Being a vegetarian can be a very excellent way to control your diet and slowly nursed yourself back to optimum health. If you are thinking of being a vegetarian, you must know that as with a normal diet, the same rules still apply to your vegetarian diet. You need to include variety, balance and moderation into your vegetarian diet as well.
As you know, a vegetarian diet is free from all meat. Be it beef, chicken, fish, mutton, no meat should be present in a vegetarian diet. Non vegetarians will often wonder where do vegetarians get their protein from and how do vegetarians get their daily fix of protein if they don’t take meat?
For vegetarians or vegans for small, their intake of protein can come from nuts, seeds and soy products. Some nuts are specially high in protein and can virtually replace meat as the main source of protein. You just have to take note not to overdose yourself munching on those tasty crunchy nuts. On the other hand, Lacto-ovo vegetarians get their protein from eggs and other dairy products. As you can see, a vegetarian diet is not that terrible as most people make them to be.
But, there is something that the average people is not aware of. Given the nature of people’s diet in today’s society, people often consume more protein than they requires through the meat that they consume. As a result, most of the protein that people take in are not properly absorb into our body system. This is why a vegetarian diet is consider to be more green and healthier in nature.
The main concern for a vegan is the lack of nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium and vitamin D. Normally, these nutrients are readily available with a normal diet that consist of meat but with a vegetarian diet , you need to consume certain types of vegetarian products in order to get enough parts of these nutrients to meet your daily requirements.
For vitamin B12, you have to consume more soy products or milk to a certain extent. Another alternative is to go for vitamin B12 supplements. For calcium, vegans can go for orange juice or soy milk which are both rich in calcium. Beans and leafy green vegetables will also contain some calcium as well. As for vitamin D, you can go for mushrooms and milk.
Being a vegetarian is one of best way to excellent health. But, it also takes a lot of will power and determination in order for one to persist and stick to a vegetarian diet. I have friends who gave up after a couple of weeks, some months into their vegetarian diet but those who persisted, go on to delight in a healthier lifestyle and better health as compare to the past. Therefore, if you want live longer and healthier, you can consider going vegetarian.

Vegetarianism For Physical, Mental and Spiritual Health

A rich man is sleeping in his house. Suddenly he is awakened by the burglar alarm.
”Ach! These stupid systems never work properly!” he exclaims, rubbing his eyes and struggling to stand up. He goes downstairs and, still cursing the system, turns off the alarm. Going back to his bedroom he quickly falls asleep again.
The burglars can’t believe their excellent luck, as they take their time to carefully find and steal every available expensive item in the house.
The health situation of most people in the meat-eating nations of the world is analogous to that rich man’s condition. Usually when people experience uncomfortable symptoms and sickness, they turn to doctors and medicines to turn off the symptoms so that they can again be comfortable. Just like the rich man who believes he is safe falls back asleep, so most people, under the illusion of recovered health go back to eating the incorrect food, and resume other terrible habits. Meanwhile, the cause of the suppressed symptoms remains and gets worse. Over time the person becomes more and more sick.
The physical cause of more than 90% of human sickness is the same: too many toxins in the body. Most of these toxins are located in the stomach, intestinal system, organs and circulation system. As an example let’s look at the common cold. Here the symptoms are a running nose, fever, sore throat, sneezing, and so on. The use of medicine turns off these “problems”. Unfortunately they are alarms, not problems. They are also the means for the body to rid itself of the real problem — excess toxins. The increased flow of mucous provides a channel for toxins to flow out. The fever causes sweat, which is also a medium for elimination. At the same time the message of the sore throat and the sneezing is: “Stop eating! Drink more and more!” Because they go on eating even though they are not hungry, most people who catch colds are compelled to continue suffering for many days or even weeks at a stretch. If they were simply to quick on water or lemon water (with a small salt, not sugar), the cold nearly always fulfills its purpose and stops within one or two days.
In this case, what is the reason for the effectiveness of fasting? To answer this question we should know a most fundamental principle of our digestion system. The digestive system has two functions: 1) abstract energy from the food and immediately pass the waste matter out of the body and 2) clean itself of ancient static waste matter that has clung to the walls of the intestines and other organs for days, years, or even decades. The first function is well known to everyone. The second function is also known, but essentially ignored, by most conventional doctors. They especially neglect the fact that when the digestive system becomes clean, the body next directs its cleaning efforts at any other organs or systems which contain toxins.
The two functions of the digestion system are basically non-simultaneous. That is, whenever the body is busy in digesting newly consumed food, then no energy remains for deep cleaning activity. It is only when the stomach and intestines are more or less empty of fresh food, then those organs will automatically start cleaning themselves. The toxins causing the cold are rapidly eliminated, the symptoms stop, and the person can resume eating. Hopefully s/he is wiser due to having been sick, and is more careful to avoid over-toxifying the body.
From which foods does toxification more likely occur? Here the principle is simple to know: food which is more hard to digest is more likely to not be fully digested. When any food enters one’s mouth, digestive juices start secreting in the mouth, esophogaus, and stomach. When the food reaches the stomach, the digestive acids try to quickly break it down into small particles. Simple-to-digest food requires less acid secretion, hard-to-digest food requires more acid. The process continues as the food solids and liquids are worked upon by the liver, the kidneys, the small intestine, the large intestine and other organs. Acids, fats and other toxic substances also pass into the blood stream, polluting the circulation system and adhering to the walls of the arteries and other blood-carrying channels. Thus, the hard-to-digest foods are called acid-forming, while simple-to-digest foods are classified as alkaline. In the case of some extremely alkaline foods, such as juicy fruits, they contribute their own fruit acids which may help in the digestion of other foods. There are a few foods, like sugar, tea and onion which are not hard to digest but are classified as acidic because they contain elements which greatly disturb the equilibrium of the body. These elements are mildy poisonous.
Here is a list of foods categorized from most alkaline to most acid-forming. (As one reads down the list, each succeeding item is somewhat more acid-forming.):
1) Lemon water
2) Herb tea
3) Honey (a small)
4) Citric fruit juice
5) Other fruit juices
6) Vegetable juice
7) Citric fruits
8) Juicy fruits
9) Other fruits (except banana)
10) Non-starchy vegetables *
11) Buckwheat
(up to here all items are relevant for “graduated fasting”)
12) Yoghurt
13) Starchy vegetables and banana *
14) Fresh tofu
15) Nuts
16) Raw sugar
17) Whole grains
18) Beans
19) Refined grains
20) Refined sugar
21) Tea, coffee
22) Fried foods
23)Milk varies according to personal situation **
Avoid extremely acidic food: 24)mushrooms, 25)onion, 26)garlic, 27)fish, 28)meat, 29)eggs
* Non-starchy vegetables may also be considered as salad-vegetables, i.e. they may be eaten raw. Starchy vegetables, like potato, are hard to eat raw. Banana is much more starchy then most other fruits (unless it is extremely ripe, in which case its classification become more alkaline).
** Depending on the condition of one’s liver, and also on the functioning of milk-digestion enzymes, people differ in their capacity to digest milk and milk products. For some people milk is a medicine, e.g. certain patients of ulcer. For many, milk causes gas formation, and may thus be recognized as being highly acid-forming. Non-homogenised milk is much simpler to digest than homogenised milk because when fats are forcibly mixed with the rest of the milk such that separation does not occur, such globules of “whole milk” become strenuous for the liver.
Items numbered from 1 to 11 generally have a cleansing effect on the body. If a person thus restricts his diet for any length of time to those initial items, the body will undergo a gradual or radical cleansing process. The higher up on the list the restriction is made, so the quicker the cleansing will occur. In this regard, the most extreme method of cleaning the body is to neither eat nor drink anything, not even water. But such a method, though appropriate for some people for a small time, is perilous for most people.
In any case we may thus clearly know that if an individual uses simple natural means to keep the body relatively clean from toxins, and if there is a regular intake of a reasonable amount of nutrition (not too much and not too small), then there is the greatest possibility that such a person will maintain a high degree of health.
Of course many factors enter into “keeping the body relatively clean from toxins”. It is not only a matter of food and fasting. These factors include exercise, bathing, sleep, mental activity, purity of air and water, presence or absence of chemicals in the food, hormonal inbalances of the glands, and inborn genetic peculiarities. But of all these, food and fasting remain the foremost vital for most people.
Thus we come to the main statement of this article: a vegetarian diet is better than a non-vegetarian diet for our all-round health. For the moment we are looking only at the physical aspect, and later will deal with the psychic and spiritual aspects. Vegetarianism is preferable for the bodily health because it consists of items which are simpler to digest and thus much more alkaline than fish, meat and eggs.
The human body system has exactly the same food-eating and digesting characteristics as other vegetarian mammals (like cows, monkeys, deer and elephants), and really different from the meat-eating mammals (like tigers, lions, wolves, dogs and cats). These characteristics include:
1) Vegetarian mammals including man have flat rear molar teeth for grinding their food. Meat-eaters do not have flat molars, and instead have sharp front teeth for tearing food.
2) Vegetarian mammals have an intestinal tract 10 to 12 times their body length. The intestines of meat-eaters is only 3 times their body length so that rapidly decaying meat can pass out quickly.
3) The stomach acid of vegetarians is 20 times less strong than that of meat-eaters.
4) Vegetarians have no claws, whereas meat-eaters have claws to catch and kill their prey.
5) Vegetarians perspire through their skin. Meat-eaters have no skin pores, and instead perspire through their tongues.
6) Vegetarian mammals require high-fiber diets (available in fruits, vegetables and whole grains) or else they eventually become constipated. Meat-eating mammals remain perfectly healthy even when their diets include very small fiber. Constipation is usually the first cause of digestion-related diseases in humans.
7) Meat-eaters can easily digest foods containing a high quantity of cholestorol and saturated stout. Vegetarians have a very limited capacity to deal with these same elements. For example laboratory experiements show that if dogs are gradually given more and more butter stout, even 250 grams every day, they show no increase in their serum cholesterol level. On the other hand, if vegetarian mammals eat much stout a fantastic strain is first placed on the liver, fatty deposits develop on the inner walls of the arteries, and gradually the heart weakens through over-work, causing heart attacks and blood clots.
It is clear that human beings are bound to face difficulties in the digestion of meat, fish and eggs. Furthermore, humans who regularly eat such heavy foods gradually experience weakening of their digestive systems such that they are unable to rapidly eliminate waste matter, and thus their bodies get less and less time to perform self-cleaning.
Regarding heart disease, the cause of more than half of the deaths in the USA, the American Medical Association states that more than 90% of all heart disease could be prevented by vegetarian diet.
The editor-in-chief of the prestigious “American Journal of Cardiology” and a foremost expert on heart disease, DrWilliam Roberts, wrote: “When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh was never intended for human beings, who are naturally herbivores.”
The reader may be interested in my own experience of low-protein diets. Not only have been a strict vegetarian for the last 25 years of my life, but numerous times for months at a stretch I have also eliminated from my diet milk products, grains, beans and starchy vegetables. During those periods, which continued for as long as 9 months at a time, I ate only fruit and salad. Without any major source of protein I felt stronger and better than during any other times of my life. Indeed I would maintain such a diet always, except that I prefer to be able to eat together with other people. Also, this sort of diet is awkward or even impossible in very poor societies where the climate is cold, such as in Mongolia and Russia (where I am presently working). Thus, only due to circumstances, not due to physical need, I eat a diet containing some high protein foods. Still, I prefer that my meals predominantly consist of fruits and salad-type vegetables.

Vegetarianism and Your Health
July 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Vegetarian Diet Tips
Well-plotted vegan and lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy and lactation. Appropriately plotted vegan and lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets satisfy nutrient needs of infants, children, and adolescents and promote normal growth.
These nutrient requirements represent minimum levels and do not include any surpluses. All diets are made up of calories. Everything you eat and drink (besides obvious calorie-free things like water and celery, etc.) has calories in it. Vegetarians are still a minority in the United States, but a large and growing one. Carnivores seem to reckon that vegetarians are like dieters and that we want to cheat a small now and then. My father is convinced that if he can convince me of how excellent his corned beef and cabbage tastes, I’ll give in and eat it.
Younger vegetarians are usually part of a family that eats vegetarian meals for health or other reasons. Older children may choose to become vegetarians because of concern for animals, the environment, or their own health. Vegans are rarely obese and, on the average, ovolacto-vegetarians are leaner than those who eat meat. But, being vegetarian doesn’t guarantee a slim figure. Semi-vegetarian diets are diets that primarily consist of vegetarian foods, but make exceptions for some non-vegetarian foods. These diets may be followed by those who choose to reduce the amount of animal flesh consumed, or sometimes as a way of transitioning to a vegetarian diet. Many people who are vegetarians or who wish to become vegans or vegetarians are also concerned about the environment.
Raising cattle takes a fantastic deal more water than raising vegetables. In 1996, government policies stated that a vegetarian diet is healthy, meets Recommended Daily Allowances, and does not lack protein. There is no restriction on the calorie intake so long as the diet is confined within the recommended foods. Despite the controversy over protein requirements, vegetarians athletes can easily achieve adequate protein providing their diet is adequate in energy and contains a variety of plant-protein foods such as legumes, grains, nuts and seeds. Vegetarians need not be concerned with eating “complementary proteins” at each meal but rather over the course of a day. The raw food diet is based on thought that everything should be eaten while living, or as close to living as possible. This living material is not necessarily the food, but the enzymes that are in the food.
Although vegetarian diets are higher in total iron content than nonvegetarian diets, iron stores are lower in vegetarians because the iron from plant foods is more poorly absorbed. The clinical importance of this, if any, is unclear because iron deficiency anemia rates are similar in vegetarians and nonvegetarians. These diets may be followed by those who choose to reduce the amount of animal flesh consumed, or sometimes as a way of transitioning to a vegetarian diet. Similarly, iron requirements of vegetarians are estimated to be 80% greater than those of non-vegetarians. But, the adequacy of iron intakes was not assessed in our study because the iron requirement distribution is skewed, and therefore the some methods cannot be used to estimate the prevalence of inadequacy.
Birth weights of infants born to well nourished vegetarian women have been shown to be similar to birth-weight norms and to birth weights of infants of nonvegetarians. Diets of pregnant and lactating vegans should be supplemented with vitamin B-12 daily. Most of us mean ovo-lacto vegetarian when we say vegetarian. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians are like lacto-vegetarians. But these groups of vegetarians do not limit their dairy foods intake to low-stout. In fact, more than one-third of current semi-vegetarians are age 55 or older, reflecting dietary changes driven by health concerns associated with aging. They are more aware of issues such as animal welfare and the environment and are more likely to contribute time or money to specific causes. We can relate the different pieces of information known and then the answer can be interpreted according to the specific need(s) of the person inquiring. Vegetarians are prevented from adopting a real food reform because they have the erroneous thought that the rejection of meat is all that is required to carry them into the dietetic heaven.
They do not know that a vegetarian diet may be even more perilous than a properly plotted mixed diet. Medical studies have shown that vegetarians are less likely to suffer from heart disease, cancer, diet-related diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, so a vegetarian diet is very excellent for your health. Seniors and strict vegetarians are most at risk. Symptoms such as fatigue, constipation, loss of appetite and weight loss can occur in those who are deficient. Vegetarians are less likely to form either kidney stones or gallstones. In addition, vegetarians may also be at lower risk for osteoporosis because they eat small or no animal protein.

Fantastic article about celery. Find out the benefits of this fantastic vegetable plus ways how you can add more celery to your diet.
The reason celery is so low in calories is because it is so high in water content. Fresh, light green celery with glossy ribs is the best for eating. Celery is truly economical; all parts of the plant are edible and one cup contains only about twenty calories. There is no waste. It’s a fantastic food and has a number of known health benefits.
Celery can provide a sense of calmness. It can also help lower blood pressure. People with gout should be fans of celery because it lowers uric acid. Drinking fresh celery juice is said to reduce appetite. Taken before a meal it may help with weight loss.
People seldom reckon of celery as a real food in and of itself. In today’s culinary world, celery is used as a seasoning, a garnish or a snack, but Hippocrates considered it a medicine and recommended it for kidney health.
High in calcium and Vitamin C, celery should be a part of your daily diet. It is an brilliant finger food and best when eaten raw. Avoid the large, fibrous bottom ends and for best flavor, store celery in a part of the refrigerator where it won’t freeze.
One of the complaints about celery is that it is dull and the flavor tends to be bitter. Celery ribs make perfect small boats for holding more flavorful fare. Fill them with peanut butter and pair with an apple and a serving of cottage cheese for a light but tasty breakfast. They are brilliant when used for dipping sticks with egg salad or chicken salad. An individual serving removes the dislike of “double dipping.” Celery is tasty with a variety of cheeses and makes a perfect boat for pimento spread.
Chunks of celery, apple, pineapple, walnuts and chicken can be combined with a light mayonnaise for a quick and simple salad. Chunks of havarti cheese make a excellent substitute for chicken when you feel like a meatless salad. This salad can be served with or without addition of lettuce. Celery seed is an brilliant addition to any salad. The intensity of its flavor may surprise you. It adds a real kick to any cold seafood dish.
If you are fortunate enough to have a juicer, blend celery, carrots, apple and tomato for a bright flavorful juice. Seasoned with a touch of salt and lemon, it makes a fantastic mid-afternoon snack.For those who wish to eat more celery on a regular basis, it can be added to any soup or vegetable dish.

Diet For Health (Important Information)

DIET FOR HEALTH There is so much written about diets it can get very confusing. Unfortunately, most of us still associate the word diet in negative terms as most of the material is about losing weight and calorie restriction. I wish to outline various healthy eating programs that bring about balance and energy and at the same time one will achieve their objective and lose weight. I truly believe the word diet should be changed to eating plot. There are many eating plans that one can easily choose the ideal plot to reach your goals. Nutritional therapist agree that an eating plot consisting of fresh food which in unrefined and lightly cooked which helps to preserve the maximum amount of nutrients is best for all round health. But on your first consultation you maybe prescribed a Hypoallergenic Diet as a diagnostic tool to be used for the first two weeks of a nutritional therapy regime.
THE HYPOALLERGENIC DIET: excludes the four basic food items associated with allergic symptoms (wheat and gluten, dairy produce, eggs and yeast) other dietary food that can cause stress to the digestive system include tea, coffee, chocolate, sugar, salt, alcohol, saturated fats, red meat and artificial food colors and addictives. This diet must, of course, be under professional guidance and in no way mandatory.
CLEANSING DIET: These are often based on raw foods, there purpose is to remove excess tissue acidity, often caused by long term consumption of too much protein, to right the sodium/potassium balance and to promote cell respiration and oxygenation, and to help decongest the liver and discharge toxic waste matter. Protein when metabolized by the body leaves an acidic residue, which can build up and cause hurt to tissue and joints. It may lead to the development of degenerative diseases such as arthritis and cancer; these diseases often exhibit high tissue acidity. As fruits and vegetables leave an alkaline residue after being metabolized, cleansing diets main concentrates on these. For the first ten days to two weeks this type of diet mainly focuses on raw foods, following this. Some steamed vegetables may be added and some brown rice and pulses. The diet is low in calories since that is designed to break up fatty deposits in the liver. Body fats are broken down to release stored energy. You must take care not to reduce calorie intake too much.
MACROBIOTIC DIETS: Roughly translated the word macrobiotic means ‘large’ life and the diet was founded on the principle that wholesome food would help to promote excellent health and longevity. This system in centered on the consumption of whole grains and the basic proportions of each food type eaten in this diet are as follows:
Grains 50-60%
Soup 5-10%
Vegetables 20-30%
Beans and seaweed 5-10%
Fish, seeds, nuts and fruit 5% 3-4 times a week. At least two grains are used everyday with each meal. A minimum of six types of vegetables with one serving of pulses is taken daily. Fish and fruit restricted to three to four times a week.
THE HAY SYSTEM: food combining diet: Named after Dr William Hay this diet has been promoted as very well loved and effective for weight loss and digestive problems. Based on the principal of not mixing protein and carbohydrates at the same meal. Protein foods: Meat, fish eggs, fish, dairy products, nuts and Soya may be eaten with
All vegetables except potatoes and artichokes
Neutral and sub acid fruits e.g. strawberries, raspberries, plums, mango, pineapple, apples, pears, and peaches. Carbohydrate Foods: All grains and pulses with the exception of Soya with
All vegetables
Sweet fruits such as bananas, grapes and dried fruit
Neutral foods. Neutral foods, which may be eaten with either protein or carbohydrates, are
All vegetables except potatoes and artichokes,
Seeds and nuts,
Herbs and spices, Wheat germ,
Fats, oils and egg yokes,
Honey, maple syrup, molasses and raisins,
Alcoholic spirits. In health terms the Hay System when followed properly in an extremely nutritious eating plot. White flour, white rice and sugar are not included.
VEGETARIANISM: The Stone Age man originally ate fruit, berries, seeds and plants. It was not until the population started to increase that man turned to hunting wild animals and fish to supplement his diet. The meat we buy today is usually mass produced, high in fats and cholesterol and contains many chemicals, including antibiotics, pesticides and female hormones. Fish is also a suspect due to increasing pollution of our seas. But, a vegetarian diet is not always a healthy diet, one of the reasons is that meat is often replaced by dairy products which contain high stout and are acid forming. A VEGAN diet avoids all animal food including the products of animals like milk and dairy and eggs. Studies have revealed that conditions such as arthritis, asthma and psoriasis have improved. The immune system functions better with increased white blood cell activity, saturated stout levels fall. The diet does not contain hormones or antibiotics. One of the dangers of this sort of diet is that protein levels may be inadequate. The body needs protein to build and repair muscle tissue and to form cells. Enzymes are made from protein and protein is a vital part of hemoglobin. Antibodies, hormones, adrenalin and insulin are partly made my protein.
LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIETS: These are very last resort treatments for severely obese and are not recommended. Depriving the body from carbohydrates it will have to turn protein into energy. Low carbohydrates can lead to acidosis, dehydration, loss of lean tissue, impaired kidney function due to the build up of waste products from breakdown of body tissue are just a few of the complications which can occur when following this regime. If it must me adopted it is considered a once-only diet to be used in very special cases only. for more tips go to: http://www.s-healthguide.com/nutrtional-therapy.php

Ph Miracle Diet for Good Health

Filed under vegetarian soups recipe
When you eat an alkaline diet, you are getting close to nature. This will leave you fresh, healthy and light. The foods made by humans may give a sense of heaviness and fullness inside the body.
An alkaline diet is a diet that is sugar free. The diet is also free of high carbohydrates, heavy saturated stout. When on an alkaline diet, you need to focus on natural form of food thatâ??s free of toxins and chemicals.

When on a pH miracle diet, you need to stay away from foods that you eat regularly. Steer clear of wheat products. According to the Food and Drug Administration, wheat products are healthy.
But, the pH miracle diet believes the opposite. It believes that oats, millet and wheat are acidic and can harm the body. One should switch over to alkaline grains such as buck wheat, spelt and quinoa. These products are full of alkaline benefit.
Next, you must avoid all dairy meals and products. In case, you are concerned about getting a lot of protein through goatâ??s milk, you are right. This is because goatâ??s milk is alkaline in nature. You can derive protein from a variety of vegetarian options such as beans, tofu and certain nuts and seeds. Limit your fruit intake to coconut, lime and grape fruit lemon.
People, who have been on an alkaline diet, have felt that it has excellent effects on their overall health in just first few weeks. All you require to do is to reduce your intake of processed foods and focus on eating more vegetables.

Eat a Healthy Vegetarian Diet and See Results for Your Health

Filed under Vegetarian Diet Tips
Today, vegetarianism is one of the most well loved diet choices for people trying to lose weight or maintain healthy eating habits. In our world of quick food and junk food temptations, it’s a way for many people to keep their bodies free of the toxic chemicals that plague those who follow more traditional diets. Some people are vegetarians for political reasons (such as to protest the killing of animals), but many people do it simply to stay healthy.
Vegetarianism is a way of eating that eliminates eating meat, and for some people, also dairy products and eggs. You might argue that you really like the taste of meat, or that it has vital nutrients that we can’t get from plant-based food sources. So why would anyone want to eat a healthy vegetarian diet?
For one, meat often overdoses our bodies with excess stout and protein, which can cause kidney failure, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity, and heart disease, to name a few. By eliminating meat and seeking protein from vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, the risks of these diseases are greatly reduced. It’s a common myth that vegetarians don’t get enough protein because they don’t consume meat products, but that belief is just that: a myth. Those who eat a healthy vegetarian diet make up for the lack of meat protein through other sources.
If you’re not willing to give up the taste of meat altogether, that’s okay. Many health-conscious food companies such as Morningstar Farms have made soy-based meat substitutes that take some getting used to, but taste pretty close to the real thing. They have soy burgers, soy sausage, soy bacon, and many other forms of meat substitute.
Aside from its physical health benefits, vegetarianism can also improve mental health and clarity. Many vegetarians have improved self-discipline and are aware of how their lifestyles affect the world around them. They take responsibility for the problems within their bodies and find solutions to the common health problems most people who don’t follow vegetarian diets face.
If you want to see virtually instant health benefits, at least try eating a healthy vegetarian diet. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Vegetarian Diets for Health and Environment

It’s been well documented through the years that vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat. Vegetarians are less likely to be obese, or to have high blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or colon cancer. They are also less likely to die from heart disease.
The first major advantage of a vegetarian diet is increased heart health. Vegetarians, on average, consume more nuts (often as a supplemental form of protein). Nuts contain “excellent” fats, such as omega-3 and omega-6. This promotes excellent heart health by reducing “terrible” cholesterol and unclogging arteries.
Vegetarians have lower blood pressure even when they eat the same amount of salt as meat eaters and exercise less. Many studies show that vegetarians have less instances of colon cancer, due in large part to the differences in the bacterial flora that is present in the colon.
There are many factors in the vegetarian diet that contribute to better health. Vegetarians consume two to three times as much fiber as do meat-eaters, which has been shown to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels, and protect against colon cancer. They also consume more antioxidants, which are found in a wide variety of plant foods and protect cells from oxygen-induced hurt and reduce the risk for heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and other diseases.
Vegetarians eat more isoflavones than do meat eaters. These compounds, found mostly in soy foods, are a type of phytochemical. Research shows that isoflavones may reduce the risk for prostate cancer and may improve bone health. Vegetarians also consume much less saturated stout and cholesterol than do meat eaters, resulting in significantly lower levels of blood cholesterol, decreased instances of heart disease and possibly for diabetes and cancer. And, since vegetarians do not eat meat, they are not exposed to heme iron, a type of iron found in meat that may increase the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Vegetarian diets are naturally low in saturated stout, high in fiber, and replete with cancer-protective phytochemicals helps to prevent cancer. Large studies in England and Germany have shown that vegetarians are about 40 percent less likely to develop cancer compared to meat-eaters. In the U.S., studies of Seventh-Day Adventists, who are largely lacto-ovo vegetarians, have shown significant reductions in cancer risk among those who avoided meat.
And lastly, vegetarianism is not only optimally healthy for your body, but your environment and the planet’s animals. It allows you to live more harmoniously with the world around you, which improves mental and emotional health accordingly.
