What is the Vegan Diet?
The vegan diet is a plant-based eating pattern that excludes all animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. It focuses on fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds to provide all necessary nutrients while aligning with ethical, environmental, and health-conscious values.
Scientific Evidence
- Heart Health: Research in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows significant reductions in cardiovascular disease risk among vegans.
