User:Jyu331/Mediterranean Diets vs Vegan Diets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Mediterranean diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, bread and other grains, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds, olive oil as a primary fat source, and dairy products, eggs, fish and poultry in low to moderate amounts.[1] Fish and poultry are more common than red meat in this diet. It also centers on plant-based foods which are minimally processed.[1] Wine is often consumed in low to moderate amounts, usually with meals. Fruits are the common dessert instead of sweets.[1] Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products, and all other animal-derived ingredients.[2] A vegan diet includes all grains, beans, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and all the foods made by combining them.[2]

Diets are one of the most important factors in determining someone's health. In order to have good health, a healthy diet is needed. Healthy diets protect people against many chronic noncommunicable diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Eating a variety of foods and consuming less salt, sugars and saturated and industrially-produced trans-fats, are essential for a healthy diet. A Mediterranean and vegan diet are only two of the endless amounts of healthy diets.
