Long Life in Singapore

There is a lot of debate these days about the value of a good, balanced vegetarian diet. There are many claims that it is not healthy as we had previously thought, and there are also claims that it is in fact healthier. For anyone who is paying attention to this matter, it would seem that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that every day there are new revelations that show that vegetarianism is most certainly healthy, and very much likely to be healthier than a diet based in meat.

Here we can look at cultures in the east, where there are more religious proscriptions for vegetarianism that anywhere else. Like most religious proscriptions on consumption, they are based on health rather than a sacred value given to the food. But of course, there is that as well. Interestingly, many of these cultures come to a meeting ground in Singapore, and that might be why it has some of the best dining for vegetarians . The age and wisdom of the cultures inform the food today, to make for beautiful dishes that are extremely healthful.

It almost seems a shame that there are still those who claim that vegetarianism is a myth, or something that is only based on a passing fad. In truth, it is a practice that is thousands of years old.

Although there may still be plenty of debate about whether or not vegetarians live longer than the rest, there are also plenty of numbers to suggest that this is the case. The oldest people in the world are likely to be vegetarian. Although there are certainly other factors that go into their longevity than philosophies that respect life, these must ultimately play a role.
