Do vegetarians live longer?
Research has consistently found that a vegetarian diet can reduce the risk of major diseases, thus
helping you live longer. For example, one study indicates that men who follow a vegetarian diet live
approximately 10 years longer than those on a regular diet (83 years vs. 73 years). Additionally,
vegetarian women can live six years longer, reaching 85 on average.
Celebrities like Amir Khan, Virat Kohli, Kangana Ranaut, Kiran Rao, Sonakshi Shinha, Sonam Kapoor, Esha Gupta etc
adapted vegetarian diets. Also, foreign celebrities such as Beyonce, Bill Clinton, Jessica Chastain, Venus Williams,
Miley Cyrus, Kate Mara, etc turned vegetarian.
Eat to Beat Climate Change
Eating a vegetarian diet is one of the best things you can do to stop climate change – it’s also deli-
cious and loads of fun!
Cut greenhouse gas emissions by 63%. (Time)
Facts about the vegetarian diet reveal that the environmental impact of a global shift to a vegetarian diet. Livestock
accounts for over 14% of greenhouse gas emissions. A global shift to a vegetarian diet could cut these emissions by
70%. Furthermore, the economic benefit of reduced gas emissions could be $570 billion annually.
Reduce Carbon
Eating a veggie diet means 2.5 x less carbon emissions than a meat diet. By eating vegetarian food for a year, you
could save the same amount of emissions as a family taking a small car off the road for 6 months. You might not be
able to stop using your car in day-to-day life, but you can choose to eat
vegetarian food.
Saves Water and Land
It takes an enormous amount of water to grow crops for animals to eat, clean filthy factory farms, and give animals
water to drink. A chicken breast takes over 735 litres of water to produce, that could fill up your bathtub 4.6 times. By
going vegetarian, one person can save approximately 829005 litres of water a year.
A meat-eater’s diet requires 17 times more land, 14 times more water and 10 times more energy than a vegetarian’s,
according to research published by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
