A vegan or plant-based diet excludes all animal products. Including meat,

dairy and eggs. When people follow it correctly , a vegan diet can be highly

nutritious, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and aid weight loss.

Increasing number of people are moving toward vegan diets due to health,

animal welfare, or environment concerns. A 2018 Gallup poll reports that

about 3% of people in the united states are fully vegan and notes that sales

of plant-based foods are rising. Vegan diet tend to be rich in nutrients and

low in saturated fats. Research suggests that the diet can improve heart

health, protect against cancer, and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.

how to obtain certain nutrients, including iron, calcium and vitamin-B12,

that usually come from an omnivorous diet. Including its health benefits and

risks ,as well as important things to consider before trying it out. We also
