Benefits of Vegetarian And Vegan Diet
The benefits of following a healthy balanced vegetarian or vegan diet are endless.
Healthy Bowels :
Vegetarian
and vegan diet are generally much higher in both soluble and insoluble fibre,
which are fundamentally important for a healthy
digestive tract. Trillions of friendly grow in a high-fibre diet and
produce the nourishment for the cells of the intestinal lining. They also aid
the detoxification of hormones, toxins and cholesterol and most importantly of
all they help to protect the bowel lining from bowel
cancer.
Happy Hearts :
There
is no doubt that vegetarian and vegan diets contain
less saturated fat and cholesterol than a diet that includes meat. As
vegetarian and vegan diets are also high in fibre, high in antioxidants, and
high in vitamin E they generally provide increased protection
against cardiovascular disease.
Acid-Alkaline Balance :
Some
opportunistic diseases can start to take root when the body becomes too acidic
for extended periods. Vegetarians and in particular vegans, are more likely to have a better acid-alkaline balance and increased protection
against degenerative diseases than meat-eaters. It is possible to
supplement the diet with nutrients to help establish a more alkaline
environment, but as always, it's best to do so under the supervision of a
nutrition consultant.
Strong Immunity :
The
increased level of fresh fruit and vegetables in vegetarian and vegan diets
bring in a rich supply of antioxidants and
phytonutrients, and these plant chemicals have a good reputation for
boosting body immunity.
Enzymes That Spring Clean :
Both
a vegetarian and vegan diet naturally involve eating high levels of fresh fruit
and vegetables, which are themselves packed full of natural enzymes. These
enzymes have two major health benefits - firstly, they have a direct effect in your digestion by enhancing the
breakdown of foods; secondly, they are capable of being absorbed into the body
where they effectively encourage the excretion of dead
cells and debris from the blood and the lymph,giving your body a spring
clean.
