Are you a vegeterian?

I am a vegetarian (i.e. I don't eat any type of meat products such as beef, chicken or sea food). I occasionally eat milk products and use eggs in cooking (which is very rare).

People ask me about vegetarianism from time to time and wonder if it has affected my health. Vegetarianism has definitely had very positive affect on my health and well being. My immune system has become much stronger, since I've become vegetarian. My iron level has finally managed to balance to its normal level. Prior to becoming a vegetarian I used to have low iron levels, even though I ate meat on regular basis and took supplements. I feel overall improvement and I am very happy about my choice.

I try to be very educated about my eating habits and make sure that I balance my diet and get all the nutrients my body needs. Vegetarianism is not the sort of thing a person can step into blindly. If meat is taken out of the diet, it needs to be replaced with adequately nutritional substitutes.

Anyhow, if you are vegetarian, you'll agree with me and probably will have a lot more to add...
If you are not a vegetarian, this post is just an insight.

To tell the truth, this is my insight into myself.
