As early as the 4th century BC. The Greek doctor, the father of medicine, Hippocrates, said, "Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you you're sick."
And really - what is the main cause of CVD? - Poor nutrition. What is the main cause of diabetes? - Poor nutrition. What is the main cause of cancer? - Malnutrition. What is the main cause of obesity? - Malnutrition. And all other diseases: ... diseases of the liver and pancreas? - ... allergies? - ... disorders of the nervous system: negative emotions, depression, irritability, offensiveness, anger? - ... What is the main cause of impaired brain function? - Poor nutrition.
The same Hippocrates taught: "Let your food be your medicine." If the main cause of all physical and spiritual diseases of the human body is malnutrition, then, therefore, the healing of all physical and spiritual diseases of the human body should begin with changing their bad eating habits.

2. Diversity of the diet.
You don't even realize how varied a vegetarian diet can be. How many alternatives, which are almost indistinguishable from the original, about the existence of how many products you do not even know ?! Believe me, you have an exciting culinary journey and an introduction to a whole new palette of flavors. Of meat diet - this is not the case. With the transition to vegetarianism, you will truly immerse yourself in a whole new world, you will have a new circle of acquaintances, you will read new books and blogs, and you will know much more new information than you would with traditional food. The magic words "Chia", "quinoa", "superfood" will appear in your vocabulary, and the salad will no longer be a supplement to the grocery basket, it will become a full part of it!
3. Lightness and more energy.
Just imagine how much energy our body spends on digesting heavy meat food. And this is one of the reasons why we want to lie down or sleep after lunch and dinner. Vegetarian food - as a rule, light, digestible faster, you do not have a feeling of heaviness after eating. You have a lot of strength and energy for new achievements! You will automatically have more time, be more successful, and you will have new opportunities for self-development.
4. Improving the general condition of the body.
You may not have known, but meat and fish are full of hormones and antibiotics. By ceasing to consume these products, you reduce the supply of these harmful substances, which provoke the formation of toxins and, as a consequence, various diseases. Also, researchers have shown that the content of nitrates, pesticides and other harmful chemicals in meat is 12 times higher than in fruits.
5. You touch the source of the protein.
When consuming meat and dairy products in our body comes protein already processed by the same cow. Why such a long way using another organism? If a cow gets protein from the grass, so can we.

6. Natural detox and purification.
By giving up meat and increasing the proportion of fiber-containing foods in your diet, you make an invaluable contribution to the health of your gut. Cellulose, like a sponge, absorbs accumulated toxins and helps them pass through the intestines to get rid of them faster. You will notice almost immediately how the intestinal peristalsis, the general condition of the gastrointestinal tract and, as a consequence, the skin, will improve.
7. You will get rid of allergies.
As mentioned above, meat and dairy products contribute to the accumulation of toxins in the body, and all would be fine, but they are the main culprits of our ill-fated allergies and concomitant symptoms (cold, tears, inflammation of the skin). Going to vegetarianism, you will almost immediately notice that the symptoms of allergies will be less and less, and over time, you can get rid of them completely.
8. You will stop suffering from colds.
It is known that toxins that come to us from the body of meat, contribute to the accumulation of mucus in the body. In a vegetarian diet, people are less likely to catch a cold, and if they catch a cold, the disease is much faster and easier. Soon you will forget what the cold and the sore throat are.
