Activity Number 184505 : Level: 1.
Eighty-three percent of the Indian population belongs to religions founded in India that promote vegetarianism. There is enormous cultural diversity in the practice of vegetarianism in India, which varies by religion (8%?92%) and region (9%-90%) of the country. These practices can be incorporated into other eating behaviors and habits to help meet individual needs and preferences. Following a vegetarian or a modified vegetarian (flexitarian) diet is a lifestyle or behavior change that may be a first step towards other lifestyle changes. As with any lifestyle change, the decision to change takes commitment and self-discipline. These practices can be incorporated into other eating behaviors and habits to help meet individual needs and preferences.Learning Objectives
