How to Become A Vegetarian?
There are many benefits to becoming a vegetarian but do you know why? So how will it change things in your life and for the planet? Ok, so one person won’t change things much but many individuals who think the same way can make a difference and even one person can help. One argument for making this change are the benefits it has on your health and the problems that an excess of meat causes, like heart disease; this is the most common reason for death in America and other big meat eating nations.
Heart disease and circulation problems generally are mainly the result of cholesterol which is found in eggs, dairy foods and of course, meat. In fact the group Earth Save states that a vegetarian has around 25 percent less chance of a heart attack than someone who consumes meat as part of their diet. For those who go one step further and become vegans the figure lowers even still to an amazing one in ten chance. A healthy heart is not the only ‘health benefit’ to becoming a vegetarian as there are other reasons too.
For instance, you won’t be exposed to nearly as many preservatives, which are common in meat and are linked to cancer. Animal feed also contains hormones to make them put weight on faster so vegetarians are not usually exposed to these chemicals which most people consume everyday. The consumption of lactose will also be reduced which is claimed to cause some digestive problems. The health advantages to becoming a vegetarian are unquestionable but there is also the fact that many animals will not lose their lives to feed you either.
org, the average American consumes 2,714 land animals in their lifetime. It is a sobering thought that a change in diet could literally save hundreds of animals from being slaughtered over the course of a decade alone. Continuing along this line and by giving up eggs and milk, many hens and cows will be saved from the degradation of just being alive to feed us. After the information you have read here it would be difficult to say no to becoming a vegetarian wouldn’t it? It is hard to ignore the facts and the number of animal lives that would be saved is huge, not to mention the reduction in your chances of contracting a heart condition or cancer.
