Obesity is a growing problem linked to a variety of health issues, including heart disease and diabetes, even among children. Many medical professionals and dietitians agree a balanced vegetarian diet is the best diet for the human body and can dramatically reduce the risk of several medical issues. But a vegetarian diet alone will not guarantee health or prevent weight gain.
