How's that vegetarians fall sick oftenly?
recently i've been living and mixing with a lot of vegetarians and i realised that they tend to fall sick oftenly which is surprisingly i mean there can't be so many coincidences,can it?anyway im not vegetarian myself
Answers:
Perhaps it is that the vegetarians that you know are not getting all of the proper nutrients they need to stay healthy. I am a vegan and have been for about 6 years and I get sick at the same rate, perhaps even less, as I did when I ate meat. I think that it isn't that all vegetarians get sick often, I think that it is the vegetarians that do not balance their diet well and get all of their nutrients that fall sick often.

The vegetarians you have been living and mixing with may not have a healthy lifestyle or have a healthy diet (being vegetarian doesn't necessarily mean a person is automatically healthy).
A person can smoke, drink, and eat pizza and bean & cheese burritos every day and still be considered vegetarian.
I have been vegetarian for almost 15 years. I think I have had the flu twice in that period of time. And, I rarely get a cold. If I do, the symptoms are really minor and I am sick for only a few days at the most.
B/c meats have a lot of proteins that your body need.which some of your friends are not eating. the need to eat more protein food.and eat more foods with vitamins too. i have learned that from my sister-in-law.
well, it shouldn't be the case. It's probably viral transmission thru air? Or non vegetarians receive antibodies too thru the food they eat which comes from animals? Vegetarians eat mock meats which are made from flour & beans and there is high sugar or salt mixed in them just to make the end product taste similar to the original meat. So it's not really that healthy as compared to real vegetables. Just guessing.
I don't fall sick often. Your friends must be living on pastries and chips!! If they had a BALANCED vegetarian diet they wouldnot be so ill. I was ill a lot when I ate meat.
Sad to say there are many myths that vegetarians are healthier than non-veg.In reality it is about balancing your nutrients intake!Have highest respect to those vegetarians that refrain from meat because of their stand and not those because they think it is healthier.
people can sick more often if they do not have a well balanced diet. This goes for omnivores as well. I'm vegetarian and hardly ever get sick however most omnivores I know get more colds and such then I do. Is that just a coincidence or maybe they just aren't eating their veggies?
Uhmm.. Do you have stats to back it up??
I'm a vegetarian and we don't fall sick often, and i know a lot of vegetarians.
When I first became vegetarian I use to become sick often because of not knowing where to get proper nutrion from, I do not become sick anymore, in fact I haven't in a long time. I now know where to get good food, and I also take vitamans which really help. The vegetarians, or vegans you are talking about are probaly not eating healthy.
Often. Not oftenly(not a word).
And it's because many vegetarians do not get the iron they need to maintain a healthy white cell count, thus lowering their immune systems and making them more susceptible to disease.
well i don't know about your friends but i have been a vegetarian basically all my life and i hardly ever get sick. maybe it has to do with some other part of their lifestyle.
Its probably the people you are around, not vegetarianism per se. Since becoming vegetarian 18 months ago i haven't noticed any changes in my health either way. I don't take supplements or anything either. Some people just tend to be healthier than others.
