Dear Colleagues,
A plant-based diet is a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes while a vegan diet is strictly against all animal products. Whats your openion about PBD and vegan and their effects on our health?
Thanks
Plant Based Diets (PBDs), including vegan and vegetarian diets, are based around fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes have been associated with weight loss, a lower prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, and a reduced risk of heart disease. Moreover, studies indicates that a PBDs may be beneficial in the treatment of several chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Vegan diet reduces the risks of cancer. Please take a look at the following RG links for more details.

Uptake of food form natural diet produced by natural organic farming of cereal,pulse,,fruit, vegetables,tuber, condiments etc. by living beings specially human beings is better than synthetic food processing product are comparatively free from residual harmfull synthetic chemicals like heavy metal toxicity of cadmium to heart and kidney
damage, aresnic and nickel to cancer,lead to brain damage , chromium to hair fall etc. So, natural food processing with value added products should get priority in food and nutrition in food processing industries considering safe health and nutrition of living beings specially human.
Plant based Diet along with Dairy Products r essential for human health.
Plant based food based on organic farming are pure and devoid of artificial chemicals if eaten without food processing. From an ecological standpoint eating plant based foods alone aids in green house gas emission reduction following the 10% energy pyramid rule of biology.
The first thing that someone starting a vegan diet might notice is an energy boost with the removal of the processed meat that is found in many omnivorous diets, in favour of fruit, vegetables and nuts. These foods will boost your vitamin, mineral and fibre levels and thinking ahead about your meals and snacks rather than relying on convenience foods can help sustain consistent energy levels.

Vegetables rich in calcium like kale and brocolli may protect bones, but many vegans don’t meet their calcium requirements and there is a 30 per cent increased risk of fracture among vegans when compared to vegetarians and omnivores. Plant-based calcium is also harder to absorb and therefore supplements or plenty of fortified foods is recommended.
It has been observed by the scientists that human use vegetarian diet as food life expectancy is longer than non-vegetarian food. Food produced from natural organic farming compare to synthitic chemicals farming generally contain less residues
of harmful chemicals like nitrate ,heavy metals etc. beneficial for health and nutrition of living beings specially human.Organic agricultral farm.produce contain more polyphenols has antibiotics effect on harmful organisms of living body helpful for longer life .
Sustainable natural organic agriculture farming may provide safe food compare to synthitic agricultral farming for safe nutrtion of living beings specially human as
organic food may contain less rasidues of harmful chemicals. Organic food not easily parisable and have antioxidant properties which helpful for longer life for living beings as human.
Eating plant based foods and avoiding all dairy foods as well as animal products is necessary for longevity and optimal health.
There are so many reasons as to why one should adhere or adopt this way of eating from the ingestion of unwanted cancer causing IGF-1, to inducing highly inflammatory responses (stiffening of the arteries) immediately after consuming meals high in meat, dairy, and eggs.
It's time to take responsibility for our overall health. Eating plant based, whole foods is easily adaptable and sustainable for a lifetime.
Plant based vegetarian diet is easily digestible and good for nutrtion and health.
A vegan diet is not seen in any traditional or ancient eating pattern. There is much evidence, as alluded to in in our comments, that a plant based diet(but not exclusively plant) is optimal for health and disease and cancer free longevity. Animal products, properly fed raised and husbanded, bring great value to human nutrition including the fat soluble vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids and easer absorption of a gamut of water soluble vitamins. Taurine is exclusively present in animal products and is only made in thr body in small inadequate amounts. tge brain retina heart and testes are heavy ’users’ of taurine. Certain disease states also mean that some vitamins can only be utilised in their animal form eg diabetes and caroten versus animal form vitamin A
A vegan diet , like any other diet , can be well or poorly executed. They can adhere to their philosophy by eating beans on toast without a splash of green or any fruit to be seen. Many vegans rely heavily on grains. The dangers of high insulin, insulin resistance insulin like growth factor and the nemesis of diabetes cardiovascular disease obesity and various cancers are real problems for high grain users.
Food contain fiber composed of cellulose and hemicellulose rich in carbon is helpful for microbial multiplication and it's beneficial effect for transformation of essential nutrients in consumed food by living beings. So, this phenomena has beneficial effect on food and nutrition of living beings. Fiber containing food has beneficial effect on cleaning large entestine of body of living beings.
Have better cholesterol levels : The diet reduced levels of LDL - the 'bad' cholesterol known to cause clogging in coronary arteries - in participants by almost 29%, compared to a 30.9% decrease in the lovastatin participants. The diet consisted of a combination of nuts (almonds), soy proteins, viscous fiber (high-fiber) foods such as oats and barley and a special margarine with plant sterols (found in leafy green vegetables and vegetable oils).
Have a lower risk of developing cancer : several studies have shown a reduced risk of developing many different types of cancer among vegetarians, compared to meat eaters.
Live longer : It was observed by several studies that vegetarians have a much lower risk of becoming obese, developing diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. All these conditions and diseases reduce one´s life expectancy
Finally i can say, although vegan are more healthy, but being vegan is hard and a vegan needs extensive knowledge of diet, nutrients and what's in different types of food.
It’s indubitable difference of personal blood types / gender / age / genetic information . Anderstandig geographic environmental influences to forward the best for you diet

Vegan diets are usually higher in dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, vitamins C and E, iron, and phytochemicals, and they tend to be lower in calories, saturated fat and cholesterol, long-chain n–3 (omega-3) fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and vitamin B12. Therefore, vegetarians typically enjoy a lower risk of obesity cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
Article Health Effects of Vegan Diets
These diets are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce the risk of diabetes, and help maintain a healthy weight, all of which can lower your risk of heart disease.
Are tgere any long term heslth statistics including incidences of diseases available for vegans versus vegetarians? My concern is the nutrient defidcidncies that vegans run the risk if unless they are attending assiduously to aboiding them. Vitamin B12, omega 3 fatty acids and zinc are amingst thise. There is also no Taurine, the endogenous production if which is very limited.
My ither concern is that there is less opportunity to consume adequate good fats and oils by some vegans who aren’t educated in this arena. The vegans i know and come across reley heavily on grains. This raises the risk of hyperinsulinaemia and assiciated diseases such as metabolic stndrome, diabetes and certain cancers!
