VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS DIFFERENCES AND BENEFITS

Actualizado: 13 oct 2020

Vegan and vegetarian eating is becoming increasingly popular among the population, so much so that it is already a lifestyle and its demand for products in the supermarkets is growing.

Veganism and vegetarianism; both philosophies of life are based on animal rights. But, unlike vegans, vegetarians do consume animal products such as milk, eggs, honey, cheese... <vegetarian dairy> and yet there are variations of this philosophy where some eat fish <vegetarian fish> and others consume chicken <vegetarian chicken>. They are more flexible about this. You could say that it is more of a healthy diet and like revenge they eat a lot of fruit, grains and vegetables.

Vegans, on the other hand, are more strict about this and do not consume any animal products including silk, wool, and leather in their clothing. Veganism is a lifestyle. It is a philosophy and ethical stance on animal rights and is most clearly defined in relation to their diet of only vegetables, fruits, grains, and seeds. Veganism can also hinder the plans of companies that perform animal testing in zoos, rodeos, gallops, horse races, and circuses because of the oppression of animals.


The ideal according to the experts is to consume 50% of vegetables and 25% of protein and 25% of whole grains. If we follow this list we will have the key to a healthy diet. For vegans it is a little more complex than for some vegetarians to stop eating meat, dairy, eggs and fish, as they may lack vitamin b12 and other important minerals. On the other hand they are able to create delicious dishes that provide them with all the necessary nutrients without using any animal products. When combining in an intelligent way the foods can be obtained the same nutrients and when being in a diet as much vegan as vegetarian we must know well the foods, their vitamin properties and nutritional value so that they do not lack the necessary nutrients for our organism.

Vitamin B12 is one of those to keep in mind since it is necessary to maintain a good functioning of the brain and circulatory system. The lack of it causes megaloblastic anemia. This is characterized by a deficit of red blood cells whose cells take on a larger size than usual, in addition to fatigue, disorientation, memory loss, tachycardia, etc. It is recommended the intake of vitamin B12 of 2.4mg, which is also found in cereals, brewer's yeast or in food supplements.


The truth is that both diets require more planning and dedication in the kitchen than an omnivore, so that all meals are balanced and cover all needs and on the other hand both are admirable because they have made changes in their lives that actually let them feel healthier ,happier and allow them to live a longer life.
