Eight-week vegan diet linked to lower biological age: Study

India TV News  

A study published in the journal BioMed Central Medicine found that following a vegan diet for eight weeks is associated with a reduction in biological age. After eight weeks, researchers noted that participants on a vegan diet exhibited a 'younger' heart, liver, as well as improved inflammatory and metabolic systems. The researchers observed that, on average, individuals following the vegan diet lost two kilograms more than those on the omnivorous diet. "For example, unless a vegan diet is supplemented with vitamin B12 they develop vitamin B12 deficiency that causes chronic and often insidious damage to the nervous system," Sanders said.
