Is Vegetarianism the best way of life???

no links.
Answers:
Sanitarium supports the vegetarian way of life and has loads of delicious recipes too. It's supported by the Seven Day Adventist religion and they have proven to typically have longer lifespans than religions who consume meat. Studies have been done but I don't know where to get the results, I read them in an Adventist magazine once. There's a lot of talk that the Western world eats too much red meat, and I tend to agree with that.

I have no links & no evidence..........but it seems that veg...sm is the best way of life only according to the veggies.
But ask the hardcore non-veggies & they will tell a diff. story.
To each his own ------ one man's food can be anothers poison.
Enjoy what u eat !!!!!!!!!! Leave the theories to the intellectuals.
Bon apetite !
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
Albert Einstein, physicist, Nobel Prize 1921
I currently am not vegetarian and try to eat food in as raw a form as I have time for (preparing meals from ingredients). I believe humans should try to eat as we traditionally did, even back as far as before we became civilised. I was reading a book called 'eat right for your type' about how blood type dictates which foods are healthy for you. It gets a little bit technical, but in general, A bloodtypes are pretty much best off vegetarian (some types of fish are okay) and B types feel a lot better if they eat red meat. Its because B people evolved in the mountains where there wasn't a lot else to eat, and A lived on the low lands where they could access seafood and grains.
yes it is good if u have it fresh.u can also have non veg once a while.
absoultly, i will never eat meat because i over think where it comes from(GROSS) and then veggies come from the earth (very pure) and they keep pounds off! think about it
I do believe 100 % that the vegetarian diet is the best way of life. I am attaching a link for you but it is a free google video.

I think its a matter of personal choice. Its certainly a better way of life for me personally. I was crippled and sick before I changed my diet to a vegetarian diet, now I am perfectly fine. It works for some, not for others. I think it makes more sense than eating decaying animal flesh that rots in your body. My digestion has improved 100 percent from when my body was trying to break down meat protein-its too similar to our own makeup and takes a toll on the body
well i am a vegetarian i gave up meat last month .and guess what my opinion is that life is better when you are a vegetarian.because you will feel very good when you realize that you are saving more than one life of animals.you know god brought us out to live on the earth and most of of us respect it and if you want to be a vegetarian here is what you do .
first you go into a quiet place and think about how and why people kill animals and think of all those hundreds and hundreds of animals that die each day just for us. you know that they don't want to die or they don't need to die the only reason of why they die is for us.then you give up your favorite meat and watch some people eat meat think think about all those animals being killed so people.and some people don't think about the animals when they eat meat.i gave up chicken.
then after a couple of weeks or when you are ready you give up everything else you can do it girl i am encouraging you if you want to you can email me and ask me more questions at djhabtom@yahoo.com
i think it is
because you are healthier by eating fruits and vegetables as well as many other things
even though u get a little fat
being a vegetarian can help if you wanna diet
and become healthier
i am a vegetarian since birth
Yes, I think being a vegetarian is much healthier than eating a meat based diet. Plant based diets tend to...
1- contain less overall fat, especially saturated fat
2- be lower in cholesterol, or cholesterol free if vegan
3- include huge amounts of vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants, which can help prevent or fight cancer by attacking "free radicals"
4- contain phytochemicals, which help prevent and fight disease
5- includes more dietary fiber, which is protective against many diseases, including coranary artery disease, cancer, and diabetes
Vegetarians and Vegans tend to be at a healthier weight, have improved digestion, lower cholesterol, clearer skin, and suffer from less illness than their meat eating counter-parts.
I've been a vegetarian for about a year now. Before I then I was always catching colds and what not. Feeling overly tired, and having constant stomach pains that no amount of doctors or their tests could explain, or offer any solution.
Now I am happier and healthier than I have ever thought I could be. Then add in the fact that being a vegetarian saves the lives of animals and lessens the footprint I leave on the Earth... how could I not say it is the best way of life for me?
a raw vegan diet really is... but to really kno, you'd have to try it.
look throu this if u r interested in it.

I have no links or evidence but I have my opinion. I think vegetarianism is the best in life!!! I am a vegetarian & I am so glad that I don't eat meat or fish. Those poor poor animals!
No, if a vegetarian diet is very carefully planned, and that may require either fortified foods or supplements, it can be AS healthy as a good meat eating diet. I think there are a couple of benefits, but they come from eating a wide range of fruit and veg and being health conscious as vegans have to be, not omitting meat, and thus those benefits can be go without actually going veggie. Needless to say a uncarefully planned vegetarian, or especially vegan, diet can lack many essential nutrients and be very bad for your health.
There are many benefits to a diet containing meat. Many vegetarians claim that meat is unhealthy. This is a blatant fallacy.
It is well established that eating meat improves the quality of nutrition, strengthens the immune system, promotes normal growth and development, is beneficial for day-to-day health, energy and well-being, and helps ensure optimal learning and academic performance.
A long term study found that children who eat more meat are less likely to have deficiencies than those who eat little or no meat. Kids who don’t eat meat ― and especially if they restrict other foods, as many girls are doing ― are more likely to feel tired, apathetic, unable to concentrate, are sick more often, more frequently depressed, and are the most likely to be malnourished and have stunted growth. Meat and other animal-source foods are the building blocks of healthy growth that have made America’s and Europe's youngsters the tallest, strongest and healthiest in the world.
Meat is an important source of quality nutrients, heme iron, protein, zinc and B-complex vitamins. It provides high-quality protein important for kids’ healthy growth and development.
The iron in meat (heme iron) is of high quality and well absorbed by the body, unlike nonheme iron from plants which is not well absorbed. More than 90 percent of iron consumed may be wasted when taken without some heme iron from animal sources. Substances found to inhibit nonheme iron absorption include phytates in cereals, nuts and legumes, and polyphenolics in vegetables. Symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue, headache, irritability and decreased work performance. For young children, it can lead to impairment in general intelligence, language, motor performance and school readiness. Girls especially need iron after puberty due to blood losses, or if pregnant. Yet studies show 75 percent of teenage girls get less iron than recommended.
Meat, poultry and eggs are also good sources of absorbable zinc, a trace mineral vital for strengthening the immune system and normal growth. Deficiencies link to decreased attention, poorer problem solving and short-term memory, weakened immune system, and the inability to fight infection. While nuts and legumes contain zinc, plant fibre contains phytates that bind it into a nonabsorbable compound.
Found almost exclusively in animal products, Vitamin B12 is necessary for forming new cells. A deficiency can cause anaemia and permanent nerve damage and paralysis. The Vitimin B12 in plants isn't even bioavailable, meaning our body can't use it.
Why not buy food supplements to replace missing vitamins and minerals? Some people believe they can fill those gaps with pills, but they may be fooling themselves. Research consistently shows that real foods in a balanced diet are far superior to trying to make up deficiencies with supplements.
@ KJ Imagine
1. But more carbohydrates, which - if not burned off quickly - are stored by your body by turning them into saturated animal fats. All in all, the net effect is that there's little difference between eating fat and eating carbohydates.
And, as long as you're active and healthy and don't eat massively too much, there should be no problem eating fat anyway, especially if you're young.
2. Your body creates 3 or 4 times more cholersterol than the average person eats, and creates more if you eat less. Your body needs cholesterol and the amount you eat is generally irrelevant.
Cholesterol problems come with your body not being able to handle cholesterol properly, something which has precisely nothing to do with diet. Like wrinkles, etc, this comes with age, and 80% of those with cholesterol problems are in retirement age. Young people can concievably eat huge amounts more cholesterol than should be considered healthy, and have no problems at all.
3. If you're looking for the food which contains, pound for pound, the most and biggest variety of vitamins and minerals, you're looking straight at meat.
Anyway, it's not as if meat eaters can't eat plants.
4. Again, we can still eat plants as well and get the benefits.
5. As above.
On average vegetarians live longer, are at less risk of cancer and other diseases, etc, however, this does not necessarily mean a vegetarian diet makes you healthier, as there are other considerations.
"Statistical surveys do generally suggest that vegetarians, on average, live longer, healthier lives. But we should bear in mind that research has yet to isolate the presence or absence of meat in the diet as the only variable under investigation. There are always extraneous factors which can explain equally well any health differences found between vegetarians and meat eaters. For example, many vegetarians choose their diet for health reasons simply because it is accepted on many fronts that vegetarianism is healthier,rightly or wrongly. But people willing to cut out meat for health reasons are likely to be making other lifestyle decisions for health reasons. Perhaps to smoke less, drink less or exercise more frequently. Alternately stated: people unwilling to make sacrifices for the good of their health will be more likely to eat meat than those who will make those sacrifices. Thus the healthy vegetarian diet becomes self-fulfilling prophecy."
Vegetarians are much less likely to smoke, binge drink, eat junk food and are generally much more health conscious that the average meat eater, meat eating being the group that contains almost all the unhealthiest of society: the poor, the uneducated and the smokers who frankly aren't likely to give two figs about veganism. Is it any wonder veggies are healthier on average?
When you compare those meat eaters with a good, healthy lifestyle, you get much less difference (read: negligible).
"A well-designed piece of research by using matched samples may, in theory, control for extraneous variables. But it would be virtually impossible, in the case of a large sample population studied over a lifetime, to determine whether differences found were genuine measurements of the meat/non-meat factor, or an effect of vegetarians opting for meals with higher nutritional value, irrespective of meat content.
"Moreover, irrespective of parental diet, very few western vegetarians give up meat until their late teens or early adulthood. Some will make the switch later in life. For as long as the general trend in society is away from meat and towards vegetarianism, the average effect of people crossing the meat/non-meat barrier will be to reinforce this skew in the distribution, and create the illusion of a longer average life-span in vegetarians."
There are other variables as well that can skew results if not properly controlled for.
- Vegetarians are mostly women. Women have a longer average lifespan than men so on average the life span of vegetarians will be longer than that of meat eaters.
- Vegetarians are, on average, much younger than the average meat eater, because it tends to be young people who convert. Thus, as young people are at less risk from virtually all diseases and death than their older counterparts, their rates of diseases and death rates and disease rates will be lower than the meat eating majority of the population. Of course, this also gives an impression of being healthier.
I'm a 100% pure vegiterian.
I don't even eat birthday cakes as they have egg.
But we cannot exactly say who's better than the other.
Though going back in my 4000 yrs of culture people used to follow vegitarianism and used to live very long.
And non vegitarianism involves flesh and blood which i can't personally stand so from my point of view ya vegiterianism is better.
yes, but make sure to take enough b12
1.non-veg thickens the tongue
2.people are destroying biodiversity by killin deer for venison
chilli and a hen for the delicious and spicy chilli chicken(wet)
yes, vegetarian is the best way. for us human beings...
Scientific fact:
you see all animals including human beings who drink water as sip, are vegetarian...for example cow,
comparison:
when an animal lick water from toungue all are non vegetarians..for example cats, dogs, tiger....etc..
so according to nature human beings comes in category of goat and cows and needs to be vegge...i dont remember the author , i heard it when my mom was watching some religious channel.
yes veg is best for peaceful health. it will increase memory power,free from heart problems,for healthy life............................. thats why brahmins can store more mantras in their memory
there is no evidence to prove that vegitarianism is the best way of life
