Vegetarian diet promotes long life

There is nothing wrong with eating meat if you’re doing so in moderation, but research does show that vegetarians tend to be healthier overall, and even live longer.

Study shows vegetarians 12% less likely to die than meat eaters

Vegetarians more likely to drink less, smoke less and exercise more

Can a vegetarian diet extend life by 10 years?

Yes, a study confirmed it
A medical study called 'Ten Years of Life. Is It a Matter of Choice?' was done in 2001. Its objective was to test the hypothesis that choices regarding diet, exercise, and smoking influence life expectancy.

How many people participated?
The study was conducted on 34,192 people who were at least 30 years old. 27.5% of men and 30.9% of women were vegetarians; 19.3% of men and 22.9% of women were semivegetarians (They eat meat less than once a week) and 53.2% of men and 46.2% of women were non-vegetarians.

Other factors also influenced life expectancy Diet, exercise, body mass index, past smoking habits and hormone replacement therapy (in women) also influenced life expectancy.

Exercise increases life expectancy
It was also found that regular physical exercise extends life expectancy. To live longer, try to do more outdoor activities and exercise regularly.

Obesity reduces life expectancy
People who are not obese and maintain their body weight within optimal numbers have a longer life expectancy. The fastest way to gain weight is to combine fatty and sweet food (such as cakes) so try to avoid anything that can be labeled as junk food (empty calories such as pure sugar or plant oil) Study: Obesity connected with breast cancer .

Gene are influenced by lifestyle choices 
Our genes can be turned on or off by our lifestyle choices and diet. You can always turn your life around if you become aware of this fact - it's never too late to start over.

Don't eat too much meat Carnivores
excrete meat from their bodies in 24 hours. Most humans do it in 48 hours. That means if we eat too much meat, our bodies might not be able to digest it properly. If you have to eat meat then reduce the amount or eat it every other day.

Vegetarian have a better quality of life
10 extra years don't mean much if you have a bad quality of life, but vegetarians score much higher in terms of quality of life. Don't just look at it as an extra 10 years of life, but an extra 10 years of a good quality life.

Hormone replacement therapy influenced life expectancy in women 
The study also concluded that women on HRT had a higher life expectancy than women who don't go through HRT. 9
How longer can vegetarians live exactly?
The study concluded that vegetarian men can live up to 9.5 years longer, and vegetarian women can live up to 6.1 years longer than the average life of a Californian.

Vegetarian diets have been linked to lower risk for several chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and heart disease.

An estimated three million Britons, around five per cent, are vegetarian and never eat meat or fish, including superstar musician Paul McCartney and his fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney.

Dr Michael Orlich, of Loma Linda University in California, and colleagues examined all-cause and cause-specific death rates in a group of 73,308 men and women Seventh-day Adventists.

Researchers assessed dietary patients using a questionnaire that classified them into five groups: nonvegetarian, semi-vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian (includes seafood), lacto-ovo-vegetarian (includes dairy and egg products) and vegan (excludes all animal products).

The study said vegetarian groups tended to be older, more highly educated and more likely to be married, to drink less alcohol, to smoke less, to exercise more and to be thinner.

OTHER RESEARCH ON VEGETARIAN DIET AND LONGEVITY.
1. Low blood pressure: In the latest study, researchers found that not only do vegetarians have lower blood pressure on average, but that vegetarian diets could be used to lower blood pressure among people who need an intervention.

2. Lower risk of death: A 2013 study of more than 70,000 people found that vegetarians had a 12% lower risk of death compared with non-vegetarians. With none of the saturated fat and cholesterol that clogs arteries, vegetarians may be at a lower risk for chronic diseases overall.

3. Better moods: A 2012 study randomly split participants into a three diets: all-meat allowed, fish-only, and vegetarian no-meat. The researchers found that after two weeks, the people on the vegetarian diet reported more mood improvements than those on the other two diets.

4. Less chance of heart disease: Another 2013study of 44,000 people reported that vegetarians were 32% less likely to develop ischemic heart disease.

5. Lower risk of cancer: Researchers at Loma Linda University in California studieddifferent versions of the vegetarian diet and cancer risk among people at a low risk for cancer overall and discovered that a vegetarian diet may have protective benefits. Although the study is not the final say on the matter, vegans had the lowest risk for cancers, specifically cancers most common among women, like breast cancer.

6. Lower risk of diabetes: Studies have shown that vegetarians are at a lower risk for developing diabetes. While the diet won’t cure the disease, it can lower an individual’s risk by helping them maintain weight and improve blood sugar control.

7. Less likely to be overweight: Research shows that vegetarians tend to be leaner than their meat-eating counterparts, and that they also tend to have lower cholesterol and body mass index (BMI). Some data suggests that a vegetarian diet can help with weight loss and be better for maintaining a healthy weight over time.

CONCLUSION
Vegetarian diet indeed promote long life. Meat consumption should be in moderation combine with regular exercise, healthy diet and good lifestyle which promotes long life.
