According to reports from a new study, those who are veggie may look healthier than non-vegetarians, but they are not very happy like the meat-eaters.
As per Alere Wellness Index, veggies drink and smoke less in number compared to that of non-vegetarians. But the sad part is they are more prone to mental problems like anxiety or depression.
The wellness index was arrived considering various scores including that of nutrition, fitness, smoking, alcohol, BMI, medical conditions, etc. The survey was conducted by Roy Morgan Research and involved over 50,000 surveys in a year. Moreover, it was found that vegetarians were not so hopeful about their future. Nearly 28 per cent of them were found to be prone to panic attacks, anxiety disorders, etc, and 18 per cent of them were found to be depressed than the rest others.
Apart from all these elements, vegetarians are found to score very high in their nutrition levels. The scores were 105.9 compared to 100.7 in meat-eaters.
