Studies have shown that is not necessary for humans to eat meat in order to stay healthy. Many animal foods are high in saturated fat when compared to plant foods.
Meat contains some carbohydrates, but it does not contain very many complex carbohydrates that are essential for a healthy body. There is also relatively low level of minerals and vitamins in meat. The vitamins and minerals that meat does contain can be found in a wide variety of vegetables.
Animals at the top of the food chain which means that they can contain high concentrations of agricultural chemicals. The agricultural chemicals accumulate in their flesh and people consume those chemicals in higher quantities than when they themselves consume fruit and vegetables.
Animals carry a host of viruses, bacterial infections and parasites. To keep them down an array of drugs have to be given to animals. The residue from those antibiotics, steroids etc builds up in the flesh and people consume this when they eat meat. Plants also play host to these things, but in much lower and less dangerous levels.
Plant foods need less careful storage and they last longer than meat does without refrigeration. Plus it is obvious when plant food have gone off, but less so with meat. Is far harder to inadvertently get food poisoning from vegetables than it is from eating slightly off meat.
Building your diet around fruits and vegetables instantly gives you a healthier diet. That is the main reason why most vegetarians avoid obesity and the host of diseases that result from not eating a healthy diet and being overweight.
Fruits and vegetables both transition through the body more efficiently than animal products. As a result, there is far less harmful residue left inside the bowel once the digestive process has been completed this means that most vegetarians have better bowel health than meat eaters.
A healthier diet means a longer life and staying healthier and stronger for longer. For most vegetarians it is second nature to eat a healthy diet and thus be healthier and live longer.
Many vegetarians feel happier with their life choices. A lot of meat eaters suffer from some form of guilt relating to the fact that their choice to eat meat means that animals have to be killed.
Vegetarianism naturally gives rise to a healthier diet meaning that many vegetarians naturally stay slimmer than meat eaters.
