Abstract

The present paper  is an attempt to study the  advantages and disadvantages of vegetarian diet.  Vegetarian diets come in a wide variety, but they all have one thing in common: they all forbid the intake of meat, fish, and poultry, and in some cases, eggs, milk, and dairy products as well.  The vegetarian diet is very beneficial for everyone’s health. The chance of developing cardiovascular disease can be lowered, as can cholesterol levels, weight, and blood pressure. It's a boon in the fight against cancer and other chronic diseases. Potentially, it can aid in making people live longer. However, poor diet planning can have serious negative effects on health. More research is needed to confirm the vegetarian diet's health benefits. If you're at risk for developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney stones, hyperlipidemia, cataracts, or depression, or if you're already experiencing these conditions, a vegetarian diet may be an excellent adjunctive therapy choice to explore.
