Who lives longer - a vegetarian or an omnivore?

Answer 1

probalaby because it eats a healthy diet and carnivores eat meat with may get dieses from the animal they aet and become ill and die

Answer 2

One perspective: It's whomever doesn't succumb to disease, old age, intentional or accidental death first, which is not something that can be predicted on diet, or at all for that matter.

However, it's all in how you look at it. Some studies have shown that while a vegetarian diet may be less harmful in adolescent, harm can increase as a person (especially women) ages; it had been shown before that Breast cancer increased in vegetarian women than in women who ate meat because of properties provided by meat as opposed to fruit.

All in all, there have been no concrete, unbiased studies to show human vegetarians live longer than those who eat meat nor has anyone shown it to be vice versa.

Another Perspective

With less saturated fat in their diet vegetarians are more likely to have lower levels of cholesterol than people who eat meat. That means a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease. They tend to have a lower body weight, less incidence of high blood pressure and also have lower cancer rates, and are less likely to develop type-2 Diabetes. As long as a vegetarian follows a healthy diet they have a greater chance of enjoying a higher quality of life as they age with fewer health problems.

Vegetarians tend to be more health conscious about what they eat and consume less processed food containing chemicals, fillers, preservatives, etc., and consume more whole grains. Studies show all of these factors contribute to a lower mortality rate from the diseases people have come to expect from the aging process.

Answer 3

On average, vegetarians tend to live longer than omnivores. Studies have shown that vegetarian diets are associated with lower rates of chronic diseases such as Heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer, which can contribute to a longer lifespan. Additionally, vegetarians tend to have lower body weight and healthier cholesterol levels, which can also impact longevity.
