It is known that vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease and some forms of cancer than non-vegetarians. You don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy vegetarian dishes and the benefits of a vegetarian diet. Trying a couple of meat-free days each week can help your digestion and detox your body.

Vegetarians get abundant fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals that help to prevent cancer. In addition, blood analysis of vegetarians reveals a higher level of specialized white blood cells that attack cancer cells.

According to the American Dietetic Association, vegetarians are at lower risk for developing heart disease, Colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.

People who follow vegetarian diets typically have lower blood pressure. No one knows exactly why vegetarian diets work so well. It is probable that cutting out meat and dairy products reduces the blood’s viscosity which, in turn, brings down blood pressure. Vegetables and fruits are also rich in potassium, which helps lower blood pressure.

A vegetarian diet, if followed properly would consist mostly of alkaline forming foods. Our blood is slightly alkaline and needs to be kept that way by reducing intake of acid-forming foods like meat and more of alkaline forming foods like vegetables.

This is probably one of the main reasons that people who are sick see health benefits when they go to these diets. However, some vegetarians eat French fries and potato chips with soft drinks everyday, and do not see the benefits of the alkaline diet.
