Tag: Vegetarianism myths

According to recent research, the percentage of Indians who are vegetarian is significantly lower than common claims and stereotypes suggest, with studies indicating figures closer to 20%. The perception of India as a predominantly vegetarian nation is often inflated due to a complex mix of cultural, religious, and socioeconomic factors.

According to a 2023 review published in *Nutrients*, well-planned vegetarian diets are entirely suitable for athletes and can support performance levels similar to those on omnivorous diets. This confirms that a vegetarian diet is not only possible for athletes, but a carefully structured one can also be highly effective for athletic success.
