People choose to follow a vegan diet for different reasons. The staples of the vegan diet are vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, seeds and nuts. In addition, a vegan diet can be a very healthy option but it is vital to ensure it is well balanced.
Health benefits of a vegan diet:
Cardiovascular health
Eating fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, and nuts is strongly associated with a lower risk of heart disease. A plant-based diet is generally low in saturated fat, the solid fat found in animal meats.that raises LDL (bad) cholesterol and increases risk of coronary heart disease.
Additionally, numerous factors (such as dietary fiber, folic acid, magnesium, potassium, phytosterols, carotenoids, flavonoids, and other polyphenolic antioxidants) exist in plants that provide possible protection against cardiovascular disease.
Weight loss
Many studies show that vegans tend to be leaner than their meat-eating counterparts, plus, they tend to have lower LDL cholesterol and body mass index. More importantly, dietary fiber helps reduce the bad cholesterol levels and meat, dairy product and eggs contain no fiber.
Diabetes
Vegans tend to have lower blood sugar levels and up to a 50–78 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Kidney stones
Plant-based diets have been shown to reduce one’s chances of forming kidney stones and gallstones.
Cancer
Studies that included tens of thousands of men and women have concluded that regular meat and dairy products consumption increases colon cancer risk by roughly 300%. An important report published by the World Cancer Research Fund in 1997 established that we can be minimizing our risk of all types of cancer by choosing predominantly plant-based diets rich in numerous of vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits, and legumes.
Environment
Raising cattle for milk and beef spews more greenhouse gasses into the air than all of the cars currently on the road.
Animals
Animal welfare was a key principle guiding many people going vegan. According to the USDA, 9.1 billion chickens, cows, ducks, turkeys, pigs, and sheep were slaughtered for food in 2011.
