Vegetarian diet: Hopefully you have full development of body to your satisfaction. Dairy provides calcium and protein. Cholesterol is not found in most of vegetarian food. Body synthesizes cholesterol. Using canola oil and olive oil helps to increase good cholesterol HDL. You do not need supplements due to vegetarian diet. By the way, elephants are totally vegetarian. Hopefully it helps.

Vegetarian : All vegetarian are pre disposed to low vitamin B12, since it is found in animal products. I check B12 in all my patients who dont eat animal products. Low B12 can effect the nervous system, so it is very important to check

B12 and vitamin D: It would be prudent to take vitamin D and vitamin B12. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
