Nowadays, many people decide to switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet because of all the advantages they offer compared to a diet with foods such as meat or fish. In this article we will talk about the reasons why more than 600 million people have decided to change the way they used to eat and switch to a vegetarian diet.
Why are people attracted to vegetarianism? Some of them just want to live longer and healthier lives, something that vegetarianism can offer without doubt since a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of chronic degenerative diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and certain types of cancer such as cancer of the colon, breast, prostate, stomach, lung and esophagus.
Others have made the change to preserve Earth's natural resources or by an ethical opposition to not eating animals. Therefore, many vegetarians give up meat because of their concern for animals, since ten billion animals are slaughtered for human consumption every year.
