A person can have many reasons for eating a more vegetarian diet.
Taking away red meat from one's diet has many positive effects on one's life.
It provides benefits that are much obvious and healthy.
Vegetarians of same age and social status on average have lower levels of the blood fats, cholesterol and triglycerides than meat eaters.
High level of fats in blood causes heart diseases.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians have higher cholesterol levels than vegans because they eat eggs and dairy products that contain saturated fats that raise cholesterol.
Cholesterol levels are lower among lacto-ovo vegetarians than among meat eaters Research shows that older men eating meat six or more times a week are twice as likely to die of heart disease as those who abstain from it.
A study shows that among meat eating middle- aged men are four times more likely to suffer a fatal heart attack than those who avoid meat.
As for women the risk of fatal heart disease has been found to be lower only among the older vegetarians.
A study of more than 10,000 vegetarians and meat eaters was conducted by British in 1982 showed that the more meat consumed the greater the risk of suffering a heart attack.
Although removing meat from diet reduces risk of heart diseases however substituting dairy products and eggs can undo the benefits.
Increasing use of hard cheese, cream cheese, ice cream and eggs can reduce risk of heart diseases the same way as it does for vegetarians.
