The vegan diet<\/a> trend is in full swing, and tons of people are jumping on the bandwagon. Most people cite ethical reasons as to why they\u2019ve decided to eat a solely plant-based diet<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

Eating less meat is better for the environment. Eating plants rather than feeding plants to animals, and then eating the animals themselves is a more efficient way to use water, and land. It also produces less pollution. Additionally, an animal-product free diet<\/a> means less industrial farms, where animals are often kept in cruel conditions. But vegan and vegetarian<\/a> diets aren\u2019t solely better for the environment; they also come along with a host of health benefits.<\/p>

Plant-based diets are generally lower in saturated fat, and LDL cholesterol (the unhealthy type). As a result, vegans and vegetarians tend to have lower blood pressure, and lower blood cholesterol. Vegans and vegetarians also have a decreased risk for multiple types of cancer, including many cancers of the digestive system.<\/p>

Apart from the physical health benefits, plant-based diets that include different types of seeds, nuts, vegetables, fruits, and other unprocessed foods, may improve mental health and overall mood. According to a study in Nutrition Journal, participants who ate meat on a daily basis who switched to a vegetarian<\/a> diet<\/a>, reported improvements in mood and decreased stress after only two weeks. The study suggested that the improved mood was due to an elimination of arachidonic, a long chain fatty acid that is present in meat, and associated with symptoms of depression.<\/p>

The vegan diet<\/a> isn\u2019t for everyone, but for many it\u2019s an excellent way to improve their own health, and work towards a healthier environment. Vegan meal options are fairly limited in Hong Kong, which is one of the reasons that here at Eatology, we created our complete vegan and vegetarian<\/a> meal programs. With our meal program delivery, choosing a vegan or vegetarian<\/a> diet<\/a> has never been easier, or more delicious.
