See Reasons Why You Should Become A Vegetarian by Stooi76(m) : 3:16 am |
Most Nigerians cannot stand the sight of their food not having different collections of meat like beef, goat meat, chicken, turkey, shaki, and even internal parts of a cow. Some people even eat other animals like dog, rat, bush meat, horse meat and many more. To become a vegetarian one has to avoid the intake of these meats and consume more vegetables. Being a vegetarian is not a easy, but there are health benefits to it, see some below; Less chance of developing kidney stones According to the New York University Langone Medical Center, eliminating animal protein consumption in favour of vegetables will result in a higher urine pH; whereas low urine pH has been associated with stone formation. Less chance of heart disease Another 2013 study of 44,000 people reported that vegetarians were 32 percent less likely to develop ischemic heart disease.

Becoming a vegetarian will not only be beneficial to the health of your body but also to the health of your finances and the environment.

Sight and skin Vegetarians tend to have better vision and less macular degeneration and all that extra collagen leads to better skin.

Information published by George Washington University School of Medicine says vegetarian diets offer important benefits for the management of diabetes and can even reduce the likelihood of development by one half. Better moods A 2012 study randomly split participants into three diets: all-meat allowed, fish-only, and vegetarian no-meat. The researchers found that after two weeks, the people on the vegetarian diet reported more mood improvements than those on the other two diets  Low blood pressure Researchers say for some people, eating a vegetarian diet could be a good way to treat high blood pressure without medication. When patients with high blood pressure begin a vegetarian diet, many are able to eliminate the need for medication.  Less likely to be overweight
