5 reasons for being vegetarian :)

Hello,


This time i have a post with five reasons for becoming a vegetarian  and it is just that one day i would like to do it!! at first i considered to become vegetarian because of the animals, but i searched in the internet and i found some advantages for being vegetarian, so if you have ever thought about it as i did maybe these five reasons convince you:


  • You might lose weight by avoiding saturated fat in meat, butter and the animal fat used in baked goods, desserts and fried foods.

  • Vegetarians have lower risk to suffer from anaemia, appendicitis, arthritis, constipation, diabetes, gallstones, gout, hypertension (high blood pressure), indigestion, haemorrhoids and varicose veins. 

  • Save water. It takes one hundred times more water to produce a pound of beef than a pound of wheat. We have a growing world shortage of fresh water

  • Cancer prevention. Of all the natural cancer prevention substances found: vitamin C, B-17, hydroquionenes, beta carotene, NDGA, - none has been found to be animal derived. 

  • Food costs. Vegetarian foods tend to cost less than meat based items.

It

Hi!

For my fourth post, because it has to be about something i like or somethig that goes with my personality, i love to read, so i decided to do it about my favorite book : "It"  

Yes the Stephen's King book, the one of the mean clown who eats the children of a town in U.S. (you probably saw the movie).
I have to say that i love to read books of horror, suspense, thrillers, and stuff like that, so this book is very very good i really love it, maybe it is a little fictitious but is just that it really sacares you, i mean the author he seriously makes you feel nervous while you reading and it is the kind of book that you can't stop reading because it is completetly interesting, so i definitely recomed it.
