Vegetarian diet
There are different people who take different kinds of diet; some are vegetarian whereas others are non-vegetarian. But I am a vegetarian and take diet which includes fruits, green vegetables and grain. I believe that a vegetarian diet is more healthy and full of nutrition.
But on the other hand, I also believe that vegetarian diet can also be unhealthy sometimes if its does not contain enough nutrients.
Full Details about Vegetarian diet
A vegan, excludes animal flesh (meat, poultry, fish and seafood), animal products (eggs, dairy and honey), and the wearing and use of animal products (eg. leather, silk, wool, lanolin, gelatin). The vegan diet consists totally of vegetables, vegetable oils, and seeds.
Although most vegetarian diets meet or exceed the Recommended Dietary Allowances for protein, they often provide less protein than nonvegetarian diets. This lower protein intake may be associated with better calcium retention in vegetarians and improved kidney function in individuals with prior kidney damage. Further, lower protein intakes may result in a lower fat intake with its inherent advantages, because foods high in protein are frequently also high in fat. To add protein, soya protein has been shown to be nutritionally equivalent in protein value to proteins of animal origin and, thus, can serve as the sole source of protein intake if desired.
For the sake of practical vegetarianism, You don't need to give up all flesh to be a vegetarian. You can be a part-vegetarian who eats (say) fish or a little chicken.
