I've heard about the benefits of a vegetarian diet. What exactly are they?

The main benefit of a vegetarian diet is that it can provide you with essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin B12, iron, zinc, calcium, and Omega-3 fatty acids, that may be difficult to get from other sources. Additionally, a vegetarian diet has been linked to lower rates of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
