Our body immune system arms such an extraordinary security mechanism against enemies that it still continues to puzzle scientists! Inspite of the incredibility of modern science, no alternative can be found for the immune system. Our immune system is the best physician in the world - it is most powerful and efficient than any drug. To keep this internal army in best form, vegetables and fruits diet is the answer.

Take the example of two people exposed to similar recent swine flu break out. One person falls seriously sick but the other does not fall sick. Although they face similar virus break out, only the individual with a weak immune system becomes ill with the flu.

Studies by World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that as developing countries become more and more urbanized, even traditionally vegetarian societies such as the Indians and Chinese are choosing high-fat, meat-rich diets over high-vegetable diets. The report also mentioned that the prevalence of heart disease in China and India is worst than all developed countries put together. India is known to have the world's biggest diabetic population.

On the other hand, South Korea, which still follows a high-vegetable diet, shows lower fat intake and lower rates of chronic diseases than countries of similar economic status.

The statistic above is caused by the reality that our immune system grows healthier on a healthy diet and sufficient rest, poor nutrition and stress can cause us fall sick more quicker.

Wholesome plant foods are rich in vitamins and minerals. Certain plant foods, for example soy are rich in protein. Experts have reported that vegetables and fruits provide estimated 40 nutrients or more. For example, an orange contains a healthy amount of vitamin C, in addition to beta-carotene, d-Limonene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and a lot more of other nutrients.

All of us would wish to live long, healthy lives, free of chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, stroke and osteoporosis. But majority of us still consume unhealthy foods whenever we want , without considering the consequences.

If we choose the best fuel for our vehicles, why don't we take healthy vegetarian diets for our bodies?
