Why go vegetarian?
Foods of plant origin are naturally low in saturated fats and contain no cholestrol. Plant foods also have more fiber than any animal food. Fiber curbs overeating, helps keep blood-sugar levels onstant, reduces cholestrol, promotes regularity of bowel movement and lessens the risk of cancer. High-fiber food also satisfies the need to chew.
Some studies also show that vegetarians have lower rates of cancer, likely from an abundance of antioxidant and phytonutrients like flavonoids and carotenoids in plant foods. Vegetarians are also less vulnerable to intestinal disorders like constipation and diverticulosis.
