Is Being a Vegetarian the Healthy Way to Live?

If a person eats a nutritious well balanced vegetarian diet, being a vegetarian can be a very healthy way to live. Many people fail by thinking a vegetarian lifestyle is just cutting out the meat.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you are considering eating as a vegetarian:

• Most of your food should consist of a wide variety of vegetables.
• Plan for 4 to 6 half cup servings of veggies per day.
• Fruit should be 2 or 3 servings 2 to 4 servings of beans, peas, tofu or other soy products, lentils.
• Grains should make up 5 or more servings. Aim for whole grains (whole wheat and other grain breads, brown rice, couscous, quinoi, wheat berries etc).
• Since there are some nutrients and vitamins that aren’t available in needed amounts in vegetarian diets take supplements that include Vitamin B12, calcium and iron.

By keeping your meals and snacks well-balanced, staying away from too much saturated fats, taking supplements for nutrient/vitamin deficiencies and exercising you can have a very healthy lifestyle.
