Mounisha Pedapudi

Abstract: A vegan diet is built on plant - based foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, legumes, and meals made from plants. A vegan diet sometimes called a plant - based diet, is quickly increasing acceptance (Petre, 2021). For some individuals, abstaining from dairy, meat, and any other products produced by animals may seem like a significant sacrifice. Others, however, believe that switching to a vegan diet is simple, given the many personal and societal benefits that come with it (Sengul, 2022). For instance, many people are deeply concerned with the welfare of animals. Many individuals find that the prospect of better health is sufficient motivation.
