Studies have shown that vegetarians (following a well-balanced low-fat high-fibre vegetarian diet) often have lower incidence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, obesity and some forms of cancer.
A vegetarian diet tends to be lower in total fat, and vegetarians tend to eat proportionally more polyunsaturated fat to saturated fat compared with non-vegetarians. (Animal products are the major sources of dietary saturated fat).
You'll live a lot longer too. Vegetarians live about seven years longer according to several different studies.
Plus its better for the environment and kinder to animals! :)

I used to have stomach problems and feel weak and tired much of the time when I was younger. Since becoming a vegetarian 16 years ago and learning to eat healthy, balanced meals, I have more energy and no stomach problems.
To reap the benefits of a vegetarian diet, it's important to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and protein.
Other benefits of a vegetarian diet contribute to the environment. It takes much less land and water to grow food for a vegetarian than to grow the grains to feed a cow to then feed a person.

Its a lot less fatty than a meat diet, it is better for your digestive system, you don't have buildups of decaying dead meat in your intestines. Its cheaper--meat is expensive but you can do a really good veggie meal for a lot less. It can easily be cholesterol free, thats good for you--less clogging of veins and arteries and you won't need prescription meds to clean em out.
