In the latest study, researchers found that not only do vegetarians have lower blood pressure on average, but that vegetarian diets could be used to lower blood pressure among people who need an intervention.<\/p>\n
A study found that vegetarians had a 13% lower risk of death compared with non-vegetarians. With none of the saturated fat and cholesterol that clog arteries, vegetarians may be at a lower risk for chronic diseases<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> overall.<\/p>\n
A recent study found that people on the vegetarian diet reported more mood improvements than those on the other non-vegetarian diets.<\/p>\n
Another study reported that vegetarians were 32% less likely to develop heart disease.<\/p>\n
Researchers studied different versions of the vegetarian diet and cancer risk among people at a low risk for cancer overall and discovered that a vegetarian diet may have protective benefits. Colon cancer is rampant in people who consume fewer amounts of legumes and fibre. Because vegetarian diet is rich in fibre and legumes, the risk of colon cancer is less among vegetarians compared to non-vegetarians. Not just colon cancer, vegetarians get natural protection against prostate, stomach, breast and lung cancer.<\/p>\n
Studies have shown that vegetarians are at a lower risk for developing diabetes. While the diet won\u2019t cure the disease, it can lower an individual\u2019s risk by helping them maintain weight and improve blood sugar control.<\/p>\n
Research shows that vegetarians tend to be leaner than their meat-eating counterparts and also tend to have lower cholesterol and body mass index (BMI). Some data suggests that a vegetarian diet can help with weight loss<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> and be better for maintaining a healthy weight over time.<\/p>\n
A body produces cholesterol in some amounts and with daily intake of chicken or red meat your blood cholesterol levels will increase to level that it starts depositing on the walls of the blood vessels, giving rise to atherosclerosis. The fact that plant sources do not contain cholesterol is enough to highlight the advantage of eating a vegetarian diet for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n
Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians have equal chances of suffering from hypertension. But vegetarians naturally enjoy a low sodium and low-fat diet making them less likely to suffer from hypertension.<\/p>\n
Non-vegetarian diet is undoubtedly rich in protein. But sometimes this excess amount of protein can cause the body to excrete more amounts of calcium, oxalate and uric acid. These substances form the main component of kidney stones and gall stones. Vegetarian diets have been shown to reduce one\u2019s chances of forming kidney stones and gallstones.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
