" Have you enjoyed a vegetarian diet today? " Nowadays, vegetarianism has

become a vogue. With the increasingly prevailing vegetarianism, vegetarians have

become a new group who attach equal importance to food and nutrition, health and

fashion in Chongqing.

" There are few vegetarian restaurants in downtown Chongqing. Temples

are undoubtedly the best destinations for vegetarians. " When it comes to where

one can enjoy vegetarian diets, travel enthusiast Li Li has his own idea.

" Temples are often located on mountains or beside rivers. And even if a temple

is situated in a busy street, it is also a precious pure land. One can breathe

fresh air first and then feast oneself on vegetarian foods which will help

expulse toxin. Such a healthy lifestyle makes one look beautiful at the same

time. "

 

Besides enjoying vegetarian diets in temples, many vegetarians also cook

vegetarian foods at home. Nutritionists indicate that vegetarian foods are

healthy because they contain low saturated fat and help reduce blood pressure

and cholesterol. Vegetarian foods can also help lose weight and purify the mind.

Moreover, one will no longer have to pay a large sum for big meals. Since

vegetarian diets have so many advantages, why not be a vegetarian?
