Population-based studies have consistently shown that your diet has an influence on your health.

Awareness of possible differences in nutrient profiles is of importance when comparing dietary patterns and their associations with disease.

Previous studies have shown that dietary patterns characterized by lower meat intake are associated with lower risk of disorders such as the metabolic syndrome , diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers.

In a study, Non vegetarians were defined as those consuming some meat (red meat, poultry, at least once per month), and the total of meat and fish >1 time/week.

Studies also suggests that Non vegetarians had the highest mean BMI values (28.7, SD 6.4) and the highest proportion of obese subjects (33.3%) when compared to any other dietary pattern.

Non vegetarians had the lowest intakes of plant proteins, fiber, β-Carotene, and Mg than those following vegetarian dietary patterns and the highest intakes of saturated, trans, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic fatty acids.

Mean BMI was highest in non-vegetarians.

Energy-dense nutrients such as total fat, saturated fat, and trans-fat which have often been associated with higher rates of vascular disease were highest in non vegetarians and lowest in strict vegetarians.

There are some harmful effects of eating non-veg foods more than plant based food.

Increases Risk Of Cancer


The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meat a carcinogen which increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent.

"Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation. 

Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood."

Other than processed meat, eating chickens and other animals also promotes cancer. Meat may affect cancer risk because of chemicals formed during digestion that have been found to damage the cells that line the bowel. Other likely factors include the fat content, and the way it is processed or cooked.

To reduce your risk of cancer, Cancer Council recommends eating no more than 700 grams (raw weight) of red meat per week. For good health we need less than this. Aim for a small 65 gm serve of cooked meat each day or 2 serves (130 gm) 3-4 times a week. Avoid consuming more than 455 gm of cooked lean red meat each week.

Increases Risk Of Heart Disease And Diabetes


Various studies suggest that eating no-veg may increases your risk of cardiovascular diseases or CVD. Meat, eggs and dairy products contains cholesterol and saturated fat which increases risk of heart attacks, diabetes and cancer.

Studies indicates that vegetarian diets associated with improved glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.

Saturated fat is present in all meat and fish, even chicken and turkey cooked without the skin.

Difficult To Maintain Healthy Body Weight


Non-veg items like meat, chicken, eggs etc contains saturated fat. Regular non-veg eater finds difficult to control the fat they eat. 

Studies also reveals that non-veg eaters are more likely to drink alcohol and smoking than vegetarian eaters. These habits easily make any person lazy and obese.

To achieve a healthy body weight, you should have do regular exercise, eat more plant based nutritions and reduce non-veg food.

Vegetarian diets and good eating habits are also associated with higher metabolic rates (around 16 percent faster for vegans compared with meat-eaters).

Higher Risk Of Food borne Illness


Food borne illness happens when you consume contaminated food with harmful bacteria, viruses or toxins.

Experts indicates that certain food items are more likely to cause food borne illness than others.

Under cooked poultry food items like chicken or duck can cause food poisoning. So it is necessary to cook properly your poultry food to avoid any food poisoning.

According to a Consumer Reports study, 97 percent of raw chicken in U.S. supermarkets is contaminated with bacteria that could make customers sick. So if you eliminate animal products from your diet, you'll also be eliminating your exposure to the most common carrier of these bacteria.

To avoid food borne illness, World health organization suggests some key points which are-

Keep food surfaces clean. Wash all utensils, plates, platters, and cutlery as soon as used.

  • Separate raw food from cooked food.
  • Cook food thoroughly, to the appropriate temperature.
  • Keep food at safe temperatures, both for serving and storage.
  • Use safe water and raw materials.

Cause Erectile Dysfunction In Men


Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a man’s inability to have or maintain an erection.

The Massachusetts Male Aging Study found a direct connection between diet and Erectile Dysfunction. Men in the study who ate plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoided red meat and processed grains, were less likely to experience ED.

In addition, diets that are low in whole-grain foods, legumes, vegetables and fruits, and high in red meat, full-fat dairy products, and sugary foods and beverages are all associated with an increased risk of erectile dysfunction.

Experts says, If you do eat large quantities of red meat specifically, as well as dairy, it does have inflammatory effects and can cause, indirectly, erectile dysfunction.

Fruits and vegetables have good quantity of antioxidants and vitamins which ultimately reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction.


So, increase plant based food items in your diet to avoid harmful effects of eating non-veg food. Non-veg food increases the risk of cancer, heart disease, cancer, and erectile dysfunction. But non-veg food has some ingredients which are good for your health. It is not advised to completely remove non veg food items from your diet. But you must increase fruits and vegetable based food in your diet to get a healthier body and mind.
