The significance of VEGAN certification: In recent years, the term "vegan" has become familiar to everyone. Vegan refers to people who follow a vegan diet. This term can be used as an adjective to describe food, such as "This curry is vegan," or it can be used as a noun to mean "vegetarian." Veganism is gaining popularity. Some do it for religious reasons, others for health reasons, and some for both, achieving both goals simultaneously. Veganism embodies a simple, natural cultural philosophy of returning to nature, health, and protecting the planet's ecosystem. In the United States, one-tenth of the population, and one-sixth of the UK population, are either already or are considering becoming vegetarian. The quietly spreading vegetarian culture has made vegetarianism a global trend. Vegetarianism has become a new, environmentally friendly and healthy lifestyle. Vegetarianism has numerous benefits: 1. It lowers cholesterol levels. Vegetarians consistently have lower blood cholesterol levels than meat eaters. Excessive blood cholesterol can clog blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, heart disease, and other health problems. 2. It is ecologically sound. The land required to produce one pound of beef can produce ten pounds of plant-based protein. 3. No parasites. Many parasites and germs are transmitted to the human body through infected meat. 4. Respect animals, protect animals, protect the environment and protect humans.
