Currently, 70% of the world's vegetarians are Indians.
Vegetarian diets are naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and high in fiber, which may help to prevent heart disease, diabetes, kidney stones, and some cancers. Large studies even suggest that vegetarians have a 40% lower risk of developing cancer compared to meat eaters.
The researchers found the vegetarians reported diets significantly lower in EPA and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids that we get from eating fish, and which many studies have found are a key factor in improving both physical and mental health.
