Read

the

following

passage

and answer

the

questions

that

follow

:

Vegetarianism

promotes

a

natural

way

of

life.

But

despite

its

implicit

message

of

universal

love

and

non-violence

it

has

not

spread

as

it

should have.

This may

be

because it

usually is

an

inward

-

looking habit

and

is

best

cultivated in

the

mind.

Leading a

vegetarian way

of life

helps the animal

kingdom

to co-exist with

man. The animals supply

milk,

manure and energy.

This

has been

central

to

the

Indian culture

for

thousands

of

years.

A

vegetarian

lifestyle

is

natural,

multifaceted

and

helps

self-preservation

in

a

healthy way. Food

and

health

are

closely

related.

The Western

science of

food

considers

food

as

something

to

sustain

only

the

human

body, whereas

the Indian

science

considers

food

as

something which

sustains not

only

the body

but

also maintains the

purity

of

heart,

mind

and soul.

Vegetarian foods

provide

an

infinite

variety

of flavours

whereas non-vegetarian

foods have

hardly

any taste of their own. In fact,

non-vegetarian foods

have

to

be

seasoned with ingredients from the

vegetable

kingdom

to

make

them

palatable.

In

sports

disciplines,

vegetarians leads

in

endurance

tesfs.

"You

are

what

you

eat"

is

an

old

saylng and

it

is

a fact

that it is the food

that makes the

man. The

food we

eat,

its

quality,

quantity,

its

timing and combination

is

of utmost

importance to healthy

life.

Extensive

studies

by a

group

of Mumbai

doctors

have

confirmed

that

vegetarianism

offers

protection

from

coronary

diseases. It

prevents

and

helps

management

of most

of

the

gasko-intestinal

diseas€s

and is

suitable for

diabetics. Nephrologists

use

this

diet

as

a major

pat

of their

therapeutics. A

vegetarian

diet is

more useful

in

the treatuent

of liver

disorders

including

the

last

stage

of liver

failure

when

the dietary intake

of

fat is

to

be

reduced.

Vegetarians

tend

to

have

lower

blood

pressure.

I^acto-vegetarian

diets

with their

high fibre

content,

low

acid

and

high

minerals

and

vitamins prevent

and

to a

certain extent relieve

the

pain

felt

with

the

progression

of

arthritis.

It

is

no wonder then that

millions

of

people

in

the

USA,

IJK,

Germany,

France,

Italy

and

other countries

have

adopted

a

vegetarian

diet.
