Veganism: The Healthiest Option?

Advantages • If the world went vegan, it could save 8 million human lives by 2050, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two - thirds and lead to healthcare-related savings and avoid climate damages of $1.5 trillion. We kill 2.7 trillion more fish every year than all humans that have ever existed.
Disadvantages- A vegan diet may help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, according to the AARP, but vegans also have nutritional concerns that aren't as prominent among those with a balanced, omnivorous diet. Nutrition experts don't agree on whether vegetarian and vegan diets are healthier than the balanced diet that include meat and other animal products, but this doesn't mean being vegan is an unworthy goal. It does mean you need to be aware of the disadvantages of being a vegan and work to minimize them to enjoy a nutritionally sound diet.
