This food prevents many infectious diseases

Ayurveda says a healthy and balanced diet works like medicines. If we able to regularise our routine lifestyle, there is no burden to the intake of more medicines. Intake of more medicines in any form may directly or indirectly affect our immune system. Nowadays, maintaining the immune system becomes a great challenge for all. A person with a strong immune system will be able to fight with a number of diseases. Is maintaining Immunity difficult? Absolutely No ! This can be maintained very easily by controlling our mood for eating unhealthy and junk food. Vegetarianism is also a good choice to maintain our immunity. A vegetarian meal in the form of a balanced diet is now the need of new normal life after unwanted entry of COVID -19 in the life of human beings.

Nowadays, eating nonvegetarian food becomes a fashion and a sign of prosperity for middle and high society people without considering health. Meat either it is pork, mutton, beef, or chicken, it will be served by grilling, roasting, or frying with more spices and oil will not going to give any good health benefit except bulk storage of animal protein, spices and oil in our body. This is also very important to consider the health condition of an animal while killed for obtaining meat. Whether the animal used for obtaining meat was in stress, in fear, suffering from any microbial contamination, or suffering from any life-threatening diseases like tumors, cancers, etc. Whether any fitness certificate was obtained before its killing for meat? 

As we know that many psychrophilic microbes can survive below -5 degrees Celcius temperature. In this way, if meat refrigerated will remain holding microbes. Some of the thermophilic microbes may survive 41 - 120 degrees Celsius temperature. Such microbes will not be killed on grilling, roasting, or frying the meat and they will remain in the living conditions in the food.  Though the gastric juices and other secretary substances present our body is working to kill the utmost microbes which are entering our body along with food but it will not be sufficient and as a result, many more infectious diseases may occur. 

It does not mean that a pure vegetarian will not be sick but chances are comparatively less than the person who fully or partly opting to eat non-vegetarian food.

Is there any compulsion to eat only Non - vegetarian food ? Surely answer will be - No. We should make a passion to eat vegetarian food and avoid frequent eating of non-veg food. Vegetarian food will give more strength, boost the  immunity and maintain longivity by minimising risk of frequent infection to the body.

This is not in the purview of my suggestions to hurt anybody's emotion but in my opinion, opting vegetarian food is now a good choice considering the worldwide situation because health only becomes wealth and also the best survival criteria in the world.
