Do vegetarians live longer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is some evidence to suggest that vegetarians may have a longer life expectancy compared to non-vegetarians, possibly due to the health benefits associated with a plant-based diet, such as lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. However, many factors contribute to overall life expectancy, so it is not solely determined by diet.

Do vegetarians have a longer life span than non-vegetarians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer: Vegetarians do not eat meat, which lowers their cholesterol and chances of cancer. Meat can make your body run slower and contribute to heart problems. Being a vegetarian also makes you look and feel younger. I've met a 26-year old vegetarian who looks thirteen! No lie!

Answer: That's not necessarily true, their is no scientific studies that support that being a vegetarian increases life span, your B-12 levels and amounts of protein are greatly decreased. Without large amounts of several forms of supplements, you can't maintain a completely vegetarian diet. I have family members who have gone almost straight for about five years before it drastically affects their body, not permanently, but its not a pleasant experience. Meat does not cause cancer or drastically increase cholesterol, insoluble fats do, meat may contain small amounts of these, but a balanced diet is not only healthy, but necessary.

Answer: Complete proteins exist in many foods and combinations of foods. Vegetarians aren't always educated in nutrition, but often more than the general public. You can find examples of unhealthy people with every type of diet because not everyone knows how to eat. Vegetarians, however, do tend to be aware of their diets and eat a balanced diet.

Also said "Without large amounts of several forms of supplements, you can't maintain a completely vegetarian diet"

80 million Hindus and Buddhists would disagree. They have been doing it for centuries.

Should you serve hamburgers or cheese pizza to a vegetarian elf?

User Avatar

Vegetarians do not eat meat. Hamburgers are made from ground beef (meat). Cheese pizza would be a better choice.

Note: there is no such thing as an "elf", not really. So it's hard to give them any sort of food.

Why are Jains vegetarian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jains believe in ahimsa, or nonviolence. To stop the cycle of reincarnation, Jains believe that they must follow the path of ahimsa. If they do not behave as their religion dictates, they believe that their next life could be as a lower animal. Thus they do not kill any animal because it could have been their ancestor, etc. But primarily, because they believe in preventing the suffering of all who feel pain.

Why are some animals vegetarian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plants are far more abundant on the Earth than animals, so it is much easier for a large animal needing a lot of food to obtain that food from plant sources than from animal sources. However, the very largest animals, baleen whales, actually eat tiny sea creatures from the animal kingdom. They strain this "krill" from the seawater with the baleen in their mouths which they have in place of teeth. Krill is mainly baby shrimp.

On land, small animals can scurry about and be hard to catch, but plants hold still, so a large and clumsy grazing animal can fill up on plants without investing a lot of energy in catching its prey. Some large land animals, such as bears, will catch and eat other large land animals when they are available.

In the sea, there are giant sharks, seals, toothed whales, and squid which are carnivorous, so not all giant creatures are vegetarians. However, large fierce predators are rare compared to grazing animals.
