Description :
A well-planned vegan diet is a healthy way to meet nutritional needs. Only plant-based items are allowed in vegan diets. Veganism is the practice of avoiding the consumption of animal products, notably in the diet, as well as a philosophy that rejects the status of animals as commodities. Vegans are those who adhere to the vegan diet or philosophy. Vegan diets high in plant-based foods have been linked to lower LDL cholesterol, better blood glucose, and lower blood pressure, according to research. Vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and specific omega-3 fatty acids are among the nutrients that vegans should be aware of. Veganism became increasingly popular in the 2010s.
