According to the American Dietetic Association, vegetarians have a much lower chance of experiencing hypertension, heart disease, diabetes or cancer. The plant based diet of vegetarians is largely responsible for this. A proper vegetarian diet is bountiful with complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Vegetarian foods also provide all the needed nutrients, minus the saturated fat, cholesterol, and contaminants found in meat and dairy products. As a result of the many benefits of a meat free diet, vegetarians have a 60 percent lower chance of getting cancer and are half as likely to experience heart disease.Becoming a vegetarian involves knowledge and discipline. To properly begin and maintain such a change should involve proper consideration and a consultation with a nutrition expert or doctor.
