Study shows that vegetarians are healthy but not happy

According to foreign media reports, a new study shows that vegetarians in Australia may be healthier than meat eaters, but more of them feel unhappy and are more likely to suffer from mental illness.

According to reports, Alere's physical and mental health index shows that vegetarians consume less alcohol, exercise more than people who eat meat, and therefore appear healthier, but they are also more likely to suffer depression and anxiety. The Orel Mental Health Index includes nutrition, fitness, smoking, alcohol, mental health, weight, and medical conditions.

John. Dr John Lang developed this physical and mental health index for preventive health company Aller. He believes that vegetarians are sometimes susceptible to mental illness.

The survey was based on Roy Morgan’s annual survey of 50,000 people. The survey also showed that vegetarians are less optimistic about the future and that the likelihood of panic and anxiety increases compared to the average person. 28 %, the likelihood of suffering from depression increased by 18%.

In 2012, Germany surveyed more than 4,000 vegetarians and meat eaters and found that vegetarians had a higher proportion of depression and anxiety. But for vegetarians, the good news is that they have the highest nutritional score of 105.9 points compared to 100.7 points for meat eaters.
