Healthy Lifestyle

Recently, more and more young people have been choosing to eat only vegetarian food because they think it is better for their heath. However, many nutritionists say that following a vegetarian diet exclusively is riot such a healthy option.

On the one hand, there are several advantages to being а vegetarian. Firstly, a vegetarian diet can provide more vitamins, minerals and fiber than a meat-based diet. In addition, vegetables contain fewer calories than meat. This means that vegetarians are often fitter and slimmer than meat-eaters. Furthermore, vegetables are much cheaper than meat. Lastly, as meat contains a lot of tat it is known to increase the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, being a vegetarian is not without its disadvantages. For a start, vegetables contain less protein, which is important for building muscle and giving us energy. Also, some important nutrients are found in meat and fish. Therefore, sometimes vegetarians need to replace these by taking supplements, such as vitamin pins, which can be expensive.

To sum up, although there are some drawbacks to become a vegetarian, I feel that on the whole it is not an unhealthy way to live. However, eating meat ensures that a person gets all the proteins, vitamins and minerals they need.
