Hi friends,

Our diet plays and important role to enhance our physical gesture and beauty, activity of our internal organs and their working strength, to live longer & healthy life.
Yet most of the population in the world are of non-vegetarians, some countries have most of the population having vegetarians promoting veganism due to their cultural values and their strong religious beliefs as in India, while others adopting and promoting vegetarianism for their secular and ethical concern including animal rights. some countries have made law to write non-vegetarian ingredients on the label if present, on packaged food. It helps to vegetarians for selection of their right food.
The survey and studies reveals the fact that India is leading worldwide having 31% of her population are of vegetarians and the Portuguese are minimum user of vegetarian food having 1.2 % consumption of vegetables while United States stands in second position having 8% population of vegetarians according to the survey held in 2018.

Role of cholesterol in human body :
Cholesterol is an organic molecule biosynthesized by all animal cells and is an important structural component of all animal cell membrane in our body. The hepatic cells of liver excrete cholesterol into bile, which is non esterified in nature. while most of ingested cholesterol are esterified,which causes it to be poorly absorbed by the gut and absorbed fat are being distributed around the body into the extracellular fluid and get deposited into the visceral organs or internal organs. you cannot remove these fats by any means and we easily invite the obesity like diseases.
A human male weighing 68 kg synthesizes one gram of cholesterol per day and his body contains 35 grams mostly within the cell membrane. In USA 307 grams of cholesterol consumption is there per person per day.
On the other hand, plants produces phyto sterols (substance chemically similar to cholesterol) when comes in contact of cells lining intestine, it excretes back the phytosterol into Gastro intestinal system back, by a kind of defence mechanism.
Trichinosis from pork
BSE(bovine spongiform encephalitis)from beef
Salmonella from poultry
E.coli from beef
Bird flu from poultry

Some benefits of being vegetarian listed below :
1. Low risk of heart diseases in vegetarians
The excess cholesterol in our blood flows into arteries, it get deposited into the inner lining of cells in arteries, responsible for interruption in blood circulation which causes heart troubles such as stroke, heart attack or heart failure.2. Liver works well in vegetarian :
liver plays an important role in our body. It regulates, support digestive system by excreting cholesterol. It is an important body organ. Liver failure causes fatal diseases, which ultimately leads to death. When the dietary cholesterol by intake of non-vegetarian food increases cholesterol level into bloodstream, the liver stops synthesizing its own cholesterol. heart and liver are such organs in our body if they stop to work properly, recovery is very difficult. Non-vegetarians are more prone to risk of liver and heart diseases.
3. Animal meat of pork, beef and poultry are related to the source of some deadly diseases.
