Gone are the days when if someone -turned vegan, they were bashed for following the trend. Today, people understand the true essence of turning vegan.
Today, it is much more than just having health benefits or weight loss, it is a sustainable choice that people make with a larger goal to save the environment.
By definition, veganism is a lifestyle choice that avoids the use of animal products in food, clothing, and other areas, primarily to promote health, reduce environmental impact, and uphold animal welfare.
Benefits of turning vegan beyond just a trend
A lot of research reports have surfaced in recent years that have shown that turning vegan has health benefits. Some reports showed that veganism is also associated with reversing your biological age. However, when we talk about veganism as a lifestyle choice, it goes above and beyond just providing health benefits. There is much more to it which we are going to explore in this article.
Health benefits
Plant-based diets are associated with numerous health benefits. Rich in essential nutrients like fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, a balanced vegan diet supports optimal health.
Rupesh Mokal, a chef and wellness expert at Tattva Bar & Cafe in Mumbai, highlights the health benefits of veganism, noting, "By choosing plant-based options, individuals can experience numerous benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, lower cholesterol levels, and improved immunity and digestion." In 2021, a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed that people on plant-based diets had a 32% lower risk of heart-related issues. Vegan diets, high in fiber from sources like fruits, vegetables, and grains, contribute to better gut health and lower cholesterol, promoting cardiovascular well-being.
