Hinduism encourages a vegetarian diet

Devout Hindus hold that all of God's creatures, whether they be humans or animals, are deserving of respect and compassion. Hinduism therefore promotes vegetarianism and discourages the consumption of any animal meat or flesh. To varied degrees, Hindus may follow the severe dietary laws of their faith; however, not all of them choose to be vegetarians. For instance, some Hindus choose not to consume the strictly forbidden beef and pork but do consume other meats.


Some Hindu Proverbs and Beliefs Regarding Nutrition and Health Live a healthy, natural existence, i.e., imitate birds and other animals. "The process of healing is one of learning, but occasionally an elderly patient is more valuable than a young physician." In other words, maintaining good health benefits from knowledge, wisdom, and experience. Your body and mind can be saved if you take care with what you consume. Even while not fasting, eat sensibly and fill up on straightforward, unadulterated, wholesome foods (a Sattvic diet).

Hindus and Buddhists both hold that food has an impact on the body and the mind. The chemistry of the body, which influences a person's consciousness and emotions, is thought to be influenced by food. As a result, the body's ability to express the soul depends on nourishment. In Hinduism, a healthy diet is seen as essential for spiritual growth.
