Is the vegetarian diet more beneficial than a non vegetarian diet?

Answer:
Answer: Any diet must be balanced to be good; so a good omnivorous diet is better than a bad vegetarian diet. However, a good balanced animal free diet is more healthy than a diet containing meat.

Answer: There are many opinions on whether a vegetarian diet is better.

One reason is that it's good for the animals, good for the environment, and good for us.

A vegetarian diet provides protection against chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A plant based diet is rich in health-promoting factors such as phytochemicals

Most plant foods have naturally lower ratios of saturated fat to unsaturated fat. Many unprocessed plant foods provide fewer calories and more filling fibre than animal-based alternatives.
Also, plant foods are rich sources of many minerals, as well as vitamins not naturally found in animal foods.

Given all these benefits of plants, and because the average vegetarian necessarily eats more plants than the average omnivore does, vegetarians tend to have lower body mass indexes and lower risk for some chronic diseases.

It can be; it's better on the environment and you have less of a chance of ingesting environmental toxins which concentrate up the food chain.

But you must make sure you get enough protein, iron, and vitamin B12. You must be especially careful not to make up the calorie loss with refined carbohydrates (most common mistake!!)

If you have religious/ethical beliefs, it is better for your karma and more compassionate to reduce unnecessary cruelty in this world.


Answer: No, a vegetarian diet is not beneficial for all and can be very detrimental to others as meat is a natural part of the human diet and helps in brain and body development.
