Humans started off as vegetarians, suggests the majority of studies on the subject. It wasn�t until weapons were invented that we started eating meat. The human system, however, was designed to eat fruits and vegetables. There are many benefits to vegetarianism and veganism, but the majority of people remain carnivores. Following are the reasons how vegetarianism can improve your life.

The biggest enemies of the heart are saturated fats, cholesterol, etc, all things common with the consumption of meat. Keep your heart healthy with a daily dose of veggies.
2. Lowered risk of diabetes - While it is sometimes genetic, lifestyle and diet are the biggest contributors to diabetes. A plant-based diet may help reduce the risk factors associated with diabetes, keep your insulin levels in balance, and glucose levels manageable.
3. Longevity - According to Michael F Roizen, MD, author of The RealAge Diet, Make Yourself Younger with What You Eat, people who consume animal-based fats and products are likely to have a shorter lifespan than vegetarians. Similarly, research was carried out in Japan to discover why people lived long there.
4. Reduced infection risks - By cutting out meat, you�re automatically eliminating the risk of salmonella, bird flu, E.Coli and so many other meat, poultry, or fish borne diseases. Unwashed, improperly cooked, or infected meats are the cause of 67 million illness each year, according to a CDC report. You�d also reduce the amount of toxins going in your system.
