Immunity has become a buzzword in the Covid pandemic era and there is no reason why it shouldn't be when you are attacked by a virus that doesn't have any medical treatment available on the planet and doctors say it solely depends on your immunity.
As per the article by GLOBE NEWSWIRE the market for immunity-based is expected to grow by $1 Trillion by 2023. This goes to show people realizing the value of being healthy during the COVID Pandemic as the proverb goes "Health is not valued till sickness comes ".
This brings me today to pen down the facts based on which I decided to go vegetarian for the rest of my life for good health. Your health comes first — you can always hang yourself later :P
So Let's dive deep into the topic
Comparing Anatomy: Are We Flesh Eaters Biologically?
The following is an extract from the table The Comparative Anatomy of Eating, prepared by Milton R. Mills, M.D.
The above comparative summary is self-explanatory - no doubt the Human Body is not meant for a non-vegetarian diet. Whenever we go against the laws of nature the repercussions are severe.
Reports and Journals on Non-Vegetarianism & Health
Comprehensive investigations by groups such as the National Academy of Sciences have linked meat-eating to cancer, ” and the Journal of the American Heart Association concludes "Diets higher in plant foods and lower in animal foods were associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a general population."

Nutrition
Let us now examine the common notion that if humans don’t eat meat, they will suffer from protein deficiency.
Commenting on this idea, The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., and comprised of 4,500 medical doctors, states,“High protein diets are unhealthy. However, adequate but not excess amounts of protein to maintain body tissues, including muscle, are still important and can be easily achieved on a vegetarian diet.”
PCRM points out that the excess proteins resulting from a meat-centered diet contribute to osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, and impaired kidney functioning.
Physical Strength
Eat to live, not live to eat. Think twice before you eat :)
Let me end with a quote:-
“It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence a lot of mankind….Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. ”
– Albert Einstein
