Eating a vegan diet can help you live longer than those who eat animal-based foods including meat, eggs and dairy. A study published in the BMC Medicine Journal discovered the benefits of exclusively eating a plant-based diet.
The study involved 21 pairs of adult identical twins and in a period of eight weeks considered for the study, those who ate a vegan diet showed a decrease in their biological age and also that of their heart, hormone, liver, inflammatory and metabolic systems. Compared to this group, those who were on an omnivorous diet showed no such reduction. The study thus established a link between a vegan diet and long life, an observation that could go a long way in understanding the impact of diet on human health and longevity.
