In fact, a vegetarian diet helps one eat the required six to seven small meals a day, instead of large and heavy two to three meals. These six mini meals could include:
Breakfast: a bowl of cereals with a glass of milk, or juice, or tea or coffee
Between breakfast and lunch: A bowl of fruit salad; or a bowl of any one fruit of preference (preferably the fruit of the season)
Lunch: Vegetables with rice or bread along with some salad
High Tea: Sprouts, or a vegetable sandwich, or a handful of dried fruits and nuts
Pre-dinner: A vegetable soup with some salad
Dinner: Vegetable with rice or bread

Along with this one can add tender coconut water along with the fruit (mid-morning). Also one should have two to three liters of water (Note: those with a water retention problem should ask a medical practitioner about the amount of water intake).

Following this kind of a vegetarian routine can prevent all kinds of health related problems. But then, one should also bring into this eating routine some kind of daily physical recreational activity. As this, as mentioned earlier is fresh flow of oxygen, as well further activates the body's digestive and circulatory system.
