13 Most Fantastic Facts About The Vegan Diet

Veganism is the way of life that alters diet, clothing and other many habits. On a generally, people who are vegan do not use anything and everything that is extracted from animals. They live their life with a goal of ending the exploitation of animals for self profit and enrichment. People who are vegans completely rely on plant based foods and are very strict in their other habits too. Here we mention you some fantastic facts about the Vegan diet.
 

1. Dietary vegans refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances; this is known as a vegan or entirely plant-based diet.



 

2. The term ethical vegan is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animals for any purpose.



 

3. The term vegan was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson when he co-founded the Vegan Society in England, at first to mean “non-dairy vegetarian” and later “the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.



 

4. Poorly planned vegan diets may be low in vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and iodine.



 

5. It is recommended that vegans eat three servings per day of a high-calcium food, such as fortified soy milk, almonds, hazelnuts, kale, collard greens, Chinese greens, and take a calcium supplement or other calcium-fortified foods as necessary.



 

6. Vegan living often reduces the intake of saturated fat, animal hormones, and cholesterol while increasing the intake of fresh fruits and veggies. That has the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.



 

7. A study done by Nobel Prize winner Elizabeth Blackburn found that a vegan diet caused more than 500 genes to change in three months, turning on genes that prevent disease and turning off genes that cause cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.



 

8. Because vegans don’t consume dairy products like milk and cheese, they intake calcium with foods like broccoli, bok choy, chinese cabbage, collards, kale, and calcium-fortified orange juice.



 

9. Dietary vegans might use animal products in clothing (as leather, wool and silk), toiletries and similar. Ethical vegans reject the com-modification of animals and will not use them for food, clothing, entertainment or any other purpose.



 

10. The British Vegan Society certifies a product only if it is free of animal involvement as far as possible and practical, including animal testing.

 

11. Philosopher Gary Steiner argues that it is not possible to be entirely vegan, because animal use and products are “deeply and imperceptibly woven into the fabric of human society.”

 

12. The main difference between a vegan and vegetarian diet is that vegans exclude eggs and dairy products.

 

13. Vegetarian and vegan diets usually contain as much iron as animal-based diets, or more. Vegan diets generally contain more iron than vegetarian diets because dairy products contain very little.
