Advantages of becoming a vegetarian

Why you should become a vegetarian?

There are four types of vegetarians who are: Lacto-vegetarians - who consume milk products but no eggs, Ovovegetarians who consume eggs but no other dairy products, Lactovegetarians who consume eggs and dairy and vegans who consume crops based products such as cereals and vegetables.

Internationally, the population of vegetarians is on the rise with many individuals getting into the diet because of the advice that they get from experts. However, there are individuals who vow that they can never live a day without animal products such as milk and meat and their products.

Scolars in nutrition advice their customers to move from taking animal based meals to become full time vegetarians. In fact, some nutritionists advice their customers to stay from honey which has been acceptable for a very long period of time. Below are some of the main reasons why being a vegetarian is a better option.
