The significance of VEGAN certification
In recent years, the word "Vegan" has become familiar to everyone. Vegan refers to people who follow a vegan diet. In other words, the word "Vegan" can be an adjective used to describe food, such as "This curry is vegan", or it can be used as a noun to mean "vegetarian".
Vegetarianism is gaining popularity. Some do it for religious reasons, others for health reasons, and some combine both, achieving the best of both worlds. Veganism embodies a return to nature, health, and the protection of the planet's ecosystem. In the United States, one in ten people, and in the United Kingdom, one in six, are either already or considering becoming vegetarian. The quietly spreading vegetarian culture has made vegetarianism a global trend. Vegetarianism has become a new, environmentally friendly, and healthy lifestyle.
In fact, there are many benefits of being a vegetarian:
1. Lower cholesterol levels. Vegetarians always have less cholesterol in their blood than meat eaters. If the cholesterol content in the blood is too high, it will often cause blood vessel blockage and become the main cause of high blood pressure, heart disease and other diseases.
2. Ecologically, the land required to produce one pound of beef can produce ten pounds of plant protein.
3. No parasites. Many parasites and bacteria are transmitted to the human body through infected meat.
4. Respect animals, protect animals, protect the environment and humans.
