Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the vegan diet which is generally preferred due to ethical concerns, is against the use of animals in the industrial system and discuss the role of a vegan diet on individual health and the balance of the ecosystem

Methods:In the search for scientific literature related to this review the US National Library of Medicine (PubMed) used MEDLINE and Sport Discus data and the terms “genetics”, ‘’ecosystem’’, “vegan diet”, “vegetarian”, and “healthy nutrition” were used. The relevant literature has also taken its source from the research of relevant articles from reference lists derived from data studies

Results: Some studies indicate that a vegan diet provides various benefits for health as also according to some research, it could be also beneficial for the environmental ecosystem. So all these studies related to the vegan diet, which are claimed to contribute positively to the protection of individual health and ecosystem balance, should be followed closely.

Conclusion: Studies indicate that because the vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables have positive effects on many cells involved in immune function, a plant-based (vegan) diet can contribute to immune system function and help keep the body healthy.
