    Vegetarian and vegan lifestyles are popular influences today. While similar, they differ in their consumption of animal products. Vegans avoid all animal products, while vegetarians consume dairy and eggs. The diets can be followed for ethical, religious, health or cultural reasons. The main difference is the quantity of animal products consumed, with vegans consuming none and vegetarians allowing some dairy and eggs. It is important to consult a professional when changing one's diet.

    Vegetarian and Vegan lifestyle

    Being vegan or vegetarian are the most popular influences nowadays. Although
    they are very similar, they are not the same thing and many people cannot
    differentiate between them.  The purpose of this essay is to deeply differentiate
    these two influences, and clarify what are the main purpose of each one.

    First, we are going to define vegetarian and vegan. Based on an article written by
    Anna-Liisa Rauma, she says that the principal difference between vegetarian diets
    is how they avoid animal products, the vegan diet is the most restrictive and the
    semivegetarian diet the most permissive. Semivegetarians or demivegetarians,
    include some but not all animal foods, and they usually do not eat red meat. Those
    who eat fish and vegetables but not meat are called pescovegetarians. Lacto-ovo-
    vegetarians avoid meat, poultry, and fish, but they consume milk and eggs, while
    lactovegetarians exclude eggs in addition to these foods. Strict vegetarians (also
    called vegans, pure vegetarians, or total vegetarians) exclude all foods of animal
    origin. Based on their original motives and their nutritional habits, vegans can be
    further divided into four subgroups: ethical, religious, cult, and therapy.

    No matter which one you choose, you can be influenced by the four subgroups.

    The ethical side shows us the damage we are causing by eating meat. Matt Pickles
    write a blog in 2017 for the University of Oxford in order to give valid arguments to
    stop eating meat. Some of them were: The environmental impact as land and
    water degradation, the continuous requirement of masses of grain, water, and land,
    causes unnecessary animal suffering and contributes to the growing public health
    problem of antibiotic resistance.

    Religion and cult influence people too to start a vegetarian lifestyle. Some religions
    like Buddhists, Hare Krishna, and Adventists forbid meat as food. Even some
    religions specify that God is vegetarian.
    As a therapy, many specialists in medicine has said that follow a vegetarian or
    vegan lifestyle can be helpful to prevent and also to treat some illnesses as
    Diabetes 2. Hana Kahleova, and Terezie Pelikanova published a short article in the
    National library of Medicine which said that they “found a greater reduction in
    visceral fat and greater improvements in insulin resistance and oxidative stress
    markers with a vegetarian compared to a conventional hypocaloric diabetic diet.”

    These subgroups can be found with vegetarian and vegan people, what makes
    them different is the quantity of animal products they eat. Vegans are exempt of
    any animal product and vegetarian people are allowed to eat some of these
    products.

    If you chose to follow one of this life styles it is important to visit a professional who
    can guide you appropriately, since the incorrect information can damage your
    health.
