The evidence provided in this study concludes that soda can be a leading factor in obesity rates, and that water or lower-calorie drinks can help prevent obesity. In another study performed by Dutch researchers, equal amounts of students were assigned to drink either one cup of Coca Cola or a drink sweetened with Splenda each day. The results concluded that “after 1 ½ years, weight, waist size, and body fat increased more in the youngsters who got the sugary-drinks” (“Getting Fat on Sugary Drinks” 8).

Dietary fiber add bulks to the stools and help them pass through the intestines, and out of the body faster. (Larson, 2016) Moreover, fiber can reduce cholesterol levels which is a major risk factor of heart disease. A study of Harvard University has shown that men who consume the highest level of dietary fiber (around 28.9 gram/day) had a 40% lower risk of heart disease. (CNN, 2013) Additionally, Mann (2013) has written that increasing fiber intake will aid weight loss, it will decrease abdominal obesity and belly fat.

Many individuals and even families have made a life choice of becoming either vegetarian or becoming vegan in an attempt to save animals or just better their lives. Vegetarians just simply do not eat any kind of meat. Vegans, on the other hand, eliminate any kind of non-human animal product from their life, not just including foods. Choosing to become either a vegetarian or a vegan could be a wonderful decision for an individual to better their lifestyle, health, and impact upon the world; however, in a closer study of the two, becoming a vegan could hurt a person in more ways than it could help. People generally believe that vegans are the healthiest people in the world; however, this is actually, in many cases, not true.
Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes meat (including game and slaughter by-products), fish (including shellfish and other sea animals) and poultry. Vegetarianism is considered as a healthy, viable diet. The American Dietetic Association conducted some researches and the large-scale studies have shown people who follow a vegetarian diet could significantly lower the risks of cancer, heart disease obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertensionand, diabetes and other fatal diseases. Another research by European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition in Lancet discovered that those populations with low average intake of dietary fiber have an approximate doubling of total fiber intake from foods could reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 40%. Therefore, we can see that those vegetarians who are giving up the meat-diet could minimize the chances of getting these deadly diseases and comparatively have a longer life span.
A person can become a vegan because of ethical reasons involving animal rights, for environmental factors, or for better health. According to an article published by “PETA”, approximately 2.5 percent of people in the U.S. are vegans. Veganism is seen as a subset of various possible vegetarian diets/lifestyles. Virtually all vegan societies also add that a vegan does not use products that come from animals, such as leather, wool, cosmetics, or products, which have been tested on animals. The Vegetarian Resource Group states that "vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products."
Although pesticides and antibiotics are heavily used to keep poultry chickens protected from diseases. Moreover, recent studies have shown that excess of protein intake in a person’s diet leads to the loss of bone calcium as meat eaters generally get for more protein then they actually need or can use.

Vegetables are important sources of many nutrition including potassium, dietary fibre, folic acid.

Today it is and has become more common and accepted by mainstream society. While there are many reasons for choosing a vegetarian diet, the most important are health reasons, environmental and economic reasons, and above all, ethical reasons.

This includes all animal meat, poultry and fish.
(Puskar-Pasewicz 5) Nowadays more and more people decide to adopt a vegetarian diet. In the past few years, it has been a subject matter of debate - whether it is a healthy or a harmful practice. Both sides of the argument are emphasizing facts about the health of each diet and whether people should be vegetarians or not. In the past few years, scientific literature has extensively reported on the health effects of plant foods such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Although they are essential components, these dietary factors are not unique to vegetarian diets.
