Can you become vegetarian at 34?

Question

I am interested but someone told me you cannot

do this in the middle of your life or you can

ruin your health....

Is this true?

Thank you!!

Answer 1

No.  You can become a vegetarian at any age.  I don't know where you heard that, but it's not true.

Answer 2

Sure, you can! My mom went vegetarian in her late 40s. It's never too late to make better dietary choices!

Answer 3

Of course it's not true! What does age have to do with it? You can become a vegetarian at any age. I did it at 30 (2 years ago) and now I can't understand why I hadn't done it before. Good luck!

Answer 4

Whoever told you that is misinformed.  According to the American Dietetic Association, well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for all life stages.  Plenty of people have gone vegetarian at much more advanced ages, at their doctor's orders, after having heart attacks.  I'd ask this source of yours just *how* they think vegetarianism would "ruin your health."  Chances are, they will have NO answer that makes the least bit of sense.

Answer 5

Yes you can become a vegetarian at the age of 34.

Answer 6

Of course you can!!!!!!!!!!!....its just lyk me sayin...can i do exercise at 34 because i was told i cannot do this in the middle of my life.....

...lol

Answer 7

I don't see why you can't. But if you've been a carnivore or an omnivore up to this point in your life, your body will probably have to do a little adjusting to the absence of meat in your diet. Just keep that in mind.

Answer 8

no just make sure you get proper nutrition still from other things other than meat!

Answer 9

course you can , I'm only 15 & I'm a vegeterian !

:D

Answer 10

Of course you can, Becoming Vegetarian can only help improve your health. Make sure you eat plenty of pulses and nuts to get your protein intake even take vitamin supplements if you need to. There is never a bad time to start this diet.

Good luck, good choice.

Answer 11

Sure thing. I recommend checking out a good book on how to make the switch in a healthy way. "The New Becoming Vegetarian" (try Amazon) has been a great help for me. Some important things to make sure you are getting enough of are protein (nuts, tofu, etc), omega-3 (walnuts, flax seed), and vitamin B12 (fortified cereals).

Answer 12

no. it's ether a myth or she said that 2 scare u off from becomin 1. it also helps the animals and helps ur health. if u become a vegan ur not gettin as much protein unless u eat a lot of beans or nuts.

Answer 13

No. You must become a vegetarian before you turn 22, otherwise there will be major problems with your system..
