Vegetarians are among the healthiest people in the world. They live longer and are less prone to
chronic diseases. Consuming a vegetarian diet can also help in losing excess weight. Obesity can
lead to adult onset diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and cancer. Eating a vegetarian diet can
reverse heart disease and other health complaints such as arthritis. In addition, the vegetarian diet
can lower blood pressure. Because potassium is plentiful in fruits and vegetables, the vegetarian
diet lowers blood pressure by helping the kidneys abolish sodium and modify blood pressure-regulating
enzymes.
There are many levels of vegetarianism.
Vegan (total vegetarian) - Diet includes only food from plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts.
Lactovegetarian - Diet as for vegan plus the addition of cheese, milk, yoghurt, and other dairy products.
Lacto-ovovegetarian - Diet as for Lactovegetarian plus the addition of eggs.
Semi-vegetarians - Basically diet consists of everything except Red Meat.
