Sticking to a vegetarian diet may be partly genetic, a study found. The research identified several genes associated with people's adherence to vegetarianism.
Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood, insects, and the flesh of any other animal). It may also include abstaining from eating all by-products of animal slaughter. [1] [2] A person who practices vegetarianism is known as a vegetarian. Vegetarianism may be adopted for various reasons.
A quote from Moore's brochure, that "vegetarianism is the ethical corollary of evolution [and] is simply the expansion of ethics to suit the biological revelations of Charles Darwin" appears in Adam D. Shprintzen's 2013 work, The Vegetarian Crusade: The Rise of an American Reform Movement 1817-1921, at the beginning of the sixth chapter. [26]
Food from plants. A plant-based diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of plant-based foods. [1] [2] It encompasses a wide range of dietary patterns that contain low amounts of animal products and high amounts of fiber-rich [3] plant products such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices.
The diet intervention trial, which involved 21 pairs of identical twins, suggests that adopting a vegan diet may significantly lower biological age estimates in a relatively short timeframe.
A second reported that vegetarian diets, including vegan diets, are associated with lower risk for vascular disease, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. [249] A third indicated that a vegan diet may be effective for reducing body weight, lowering the risk of cancer, and providing a lower risk of all-cause mortality.
