Medical research demonstrates that a Vegetarian diet provides protection against several diseases and the top three fatal problems in the United States; heart disease, strokes, and cancer. Those who follow a Vegetarian diet have fewer instances of death from heart disease. According to the latest medical research, Vegetarians run a risk that is 50% lower than that of meat eaters of developing heart disease. Generally Vegetarians have healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and are less at risk for developing hypertension, diabetes (type 2), and colon and prostate cancer.
Similarly, Vegetarians are at a 40% lower risk of developing cancer. Meat eaters are also 9 times more likely to have weight or obesity problems as compared to Vegetarians.
"Recent scientific advances seem to have resulted in a paradigm shift: diets largely based on plant foods, such as well-balanced Vegetarian diets, are viewed more as improving health than in causing disease, in contrast with meat-based diets."
There have been several medical studies that have established a firm link between meat and dairy foods and an increase in medical conditions such as Alzheimer's, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, impotence, obesity, and osteoporosis. Other physical advantages enjoyed by Vegetarians include a stronger immune system. This automatically provides them a greater protection against common cold, flu, and such everyday problems by warding off infection at an early stage.
Many of the longest living people are Vegetarian or eat a predominantly Vegetarian dietsuch as VegetarianMarie-Louise Meilleur, who was named as the world’s oldest person at 122.
According to an extensive Loma Linda University study the average life span of Vegetarians tends to be around 5-7 years longer than that of meat eaters.
