A recent study comparing the health outcomes of following a vegan diet versus an omnivore diet found that the vegan diet had better cardiometabolic health outcomes, including lower insulin levels, LDL cholesterol, and body weight. However, experts caution that this doesn't mean veganism is superior to omnivorous eating, but rather that there are partial benefits to be gained by replacing some meat with plant-based foods. Cutting out entire food groups, such as in a vegan diet, can lead to nutritional deficiencies, so careful meal planning or supplementation may be necessary. The key is to craft a healthy dietary pattern that is enjoyable, consistent with one's lifestyle, and maintained in the long run.

A study conducted by researchers from Stanford University suggests that following a vegan diet can lead to improved cardiovascular health compared to an omnivore diet. The study, which involved pairs of identical twins, found that participants following a vegan diet experienced lower levels of LDL cholesterol and fasting insulin, as well as greater weight loss. While not everyone may want to adopt a vegan diet, even small changes towards a more plant-based diet can have positive effects on cardiovascular health. Medical experts recommend increasing the intake of heart-healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains.

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.
