In some countries, it is becoming increasingly common for people to follow a vegetarian diet. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Following a vegetarian

diet

is becoming very popular in some nations.

Although

without meat it is hard to get the required amount of

protein

, I believe that the benefits of consuming high

fibre

and low saturated fat

while

on

this

diet

far outweigh any drawbacks. The main disadvantage of the vegetarian

diet

is that without meat

people

may have a

protein

deficiency.

That is

to say,

people

by nature are omnivorous more than herbivorous, and by avoiding consuming animal products,

protein

levels will decrease, and

this

deficiency can have consequences on muscles, bones and

immunity

However

diet

provides

people

with all nutrients including enough

protein

. The positive feature of

this

diet

is that it contains high

fibre

and low saturated fat, which can help decrease

heart

problems.

That is

why many physicians,

for instance

, advise their patients to go on

this

healthy

diet

which plays a major role in decreasing their risk of suffering from

heart

problems.

Therefore

, in my view, protecting

people

from

type of illness by recommending

such

a regimen is very beneficial.

To conclude

,

while

it is difficult to have enough

from a vegetarian

diet

, in my opinion, the advantages of protecting

people

from

heart

disease with its high level of

fibre

and low saturated fat far outweigh any disadvantages.
