Vegan Diet Proven to Improve Heart Health in Identical Twins Study

A study of 22 pairs of identical twins has found that a vegan diet may lead to better heart health, more weight loss, and signs of slower aging compared to an omnivore diet. The participants on the vegan diet had lower cholesterol and insulin levels and lost more weight than their meat-eating counterparts. The study also revealed that the vegans were biologically younger based on markers of health. However, it is not necessary to strictly adhere to a plant-based diet to reap the benefits, as incorporating more plant-based foods into one's diet can also have positive effects on health.
