Most effective way to make healthier life

Food is actually for health.Vegetarian food

 is healthier.I think becoming vegetarian 

does not mean that one is saving animals;

 actually we are saving ourselves.The

 consumption of meat has numerous 

disadvantages as it causes heart failure,

 blood pressure problems, irritation.There 

is a beautiful saying that 'You are what you eat'. The thought ,emotion , attitude , mind and immune system are based on the food we consume.Looking into research and survey conducted it was found that vegetarian live happy,peaceful ,long life and successful life.

In our country there are many people who prefer eating non-vegetarian food throughout the week.According to survey conducted , it states that the problem of high BP and the disease related to intestine and stomach is 

higher among non vegetarians than in vegetarians.Non vegetarians are also at high risk of consuming pesticides and insecticides. Food that is consumed by animals may contain aforementioned chemicals because it is directly consumed by them, which cannot be removed by 

cleaning and cooking the meat.When such 

meat is eaten it has adverse effect on our health.

                                  It completely depends on one's will to be vegetarian or not.But the cruelty towards animals cannot simply decrease by opting for one of the two food habits.Some people have made poaching a means of earning and some have made hunting their passion.There must be a strong law to publish these people and initiative by government to strictly ban poaching and hunting.

The thing is not just a fashion rather it is a sweet sacrifice made to save the life of animals.I being vegetarian  has filled me with positive energy and has made me realize the kindness filled for animals and other beings.The main things is that it is beneficial for the individual's health as it keep away many long-term health problems and complications.I find many pros than cons of being a vegetarian as it is healthy.Eating fresh cereals ,vegetables and fruits,help build up the immune system,and the best part of the food is,it has no side effects.But consuming meat brings a lot of negative effects on one's health and it also aids in bringing cruel thoughts to one's mind.
