A plant-based diet focuses on foods derived primarily from plants, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products; thus, individuals on a plant-based diet might have lower levels unless they consume fortified foods or supplements.
The high fiber content in plant-based diets can aid in weight loss by promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing overall calorie intake.
Vegetables and fruits are a major component of a plant-based diet, providing essential nutrients and health benefits.
Legumes, beans, and nuts are excellent plant-protein sources, helping individuals meet their protein requirements on a plant-based diet.
Iron absorption can be lower in plant-based sources compared to animal products, so individuals may need to pay attention to their intake.
Plant-based diets typically result in lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to diets heavy in animal-based products.
