It would be important to first categorize the more popular types of vegetarians that currently exist in society at this point. There are mainly two types and these are vegans and lacto-ovo vegetarians. Vegans are the ones who do not consume any form of fish, meat, poultry or diary.

Some people find the transition easier by starting to cut out the meat and poultry and still consume fish in their transition period.

So why become a vegetarian? Generally speaking a lot of research has been done which shows that a vegetarian diet once followed correctly can lead to a much healthier lifestyle.

The top 5 reasons are; vegetarians have much lower cholesterol than meat eaters because their meals are typically lower in saturated fat; vegetarians have much lower blood pressure than non-vegetarians as there is a general reduction in sodium intake; less calcium is lost with a vegetarian diet which will in turn prevent osteoporosis, gallstones and kidney stones, this is because consuming large amounts of animal protein (meat) encourages the loss of calcium from the bones quicker than that of plant foods; a vegetarian diet helps prevents cancer because they eat less fat and more fibre and because they have a high intake of vegetables or plants that contain cancer-fighting substances; an individual on a vegetarian diet have a better chance of controlling diabetes because their meals are based largely on whole grain, fruit and vegetables with peas and beans which is a diet low in fat and sugar giving them control over their diabetes.
