Is Vegan and Keto worth it?

Nutrition and healthy eating are very important to the health, perversion, and longevity of the human body. Healthy diets can make you stronger and prevent certain diet-related illnesses, and make you live a longer, and healthier life. These are reasons as to why we should be interested in healthy eating.

I will be comparing two diets, the vegan diet, and the keto diet.

First, some basic info about the two diets.

Keto:

Foods to avoid or limit: High-carb Breads and pasta, Grains, starchy fruits and vegetables, and processed foods.

Foods to eat more of: Seafood, meat, poultry, eggs, low-carb fruits, and vegetables. Coconut and avocado oil.

Vegan:

Foods to avoid or limit: Meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, dairy, gelatin.

Foods to eat more of: Vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes.

I do not completely agree with these diets because I believe that a mixed balanced diet involves dairy, protein, fruits and vegetables, carbs, and even oils, fats, and sugar. I think that you should only make an adjustment to this diet if you have health problems that require a change, but in that case, you should not completely cut out something and limit it instead.

The positive effects of following a keto diet are that it can improve your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, it can also reduce your appetite and help you lose weight. It can also decrease your risk of heart disease and diabetes, as this diet is recommended for people with these conditions. The positive effects of a vegan diet are weight loss, reduced risk of heart disease, can help to decrease diabetes risk, and also helpful to people with these existing conditions. My judgment based on these two diets is that they have a similar effect, and based on this I believe that these are good diet options for people with certain existing conditions or people that are prion to these conditions, therefore I think that they can be good for your health and are equally crucial in certain circumstances.

Following the keto diet could lead to, dehydration, fatigue, dizziness, irritability, nausea, and muscle soreness. Following the vegan diet could lead to a lack of iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin D, and omega 3, the vegan diet also has a high risk of developing a vitamin b12 deficiency. Which can cause fatigue and anemia, and lead to permanent neurological effects.

There are risks in all diet plans, so I believe that if you are a completely healthy and functioning human being, you should not change your diet unless there is a massive health or life threat to you. Therefore, I believe that it can be worth it to take these risks for some people who could have even worse effects if they don’t, therefore I believe that you should only do these diets if it can save your life or make it more comfortable, and depending on the situation you should choose what is more important to you. As there are risks to everything.
