🫑 WHY WE LOVE CELEBRATING WORLD VEGETARIAN DAY 🫑
🥦 A vegetarian diet is good for your health
Your body will thank you for choosing a vegetarian diet as it is high in vitamins, minerals, and all-important fibre. Vegetarian meals typically include a lot of vegetables, nuts, and seeds that are high in unsaturated fat, essential vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin E, and essential minerals like magnesium, as well as fibre and antioxidants. These nutrients can help manage cholesterol and blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease. A vegetarian diet is also ideal for maintaining a healthy weight. 🥕 A vegetarian diet is good for the environment Many adopt a vegetarian lifestyle for ethical and humanitarian reasons as choosing to go meatless helps save animal lives. On top of this, choosing a vegetarian diet also helps the environment by conserving fossil fuels. It actually takes 78 times less fossil fuel to produce one calorie of soybeans than it does to produce one calorie of beef. 🥬 Vegetarian foods are delicious Yes, many will say that a vegetarian diet is too bland and that vegetarian food is less than delicious. However, meatless doesn’t also mean tasteless and it certainly doesn’t mean ‘no fun’. In fact, with a little imagination and inspiration, you can cook almost any recipe you can think of without meat and find tasty vegetarian options for anything from pizza to pancakes and even ice cream.🫒 9 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT VEGETARIANS 🫒
