The important point here is that a standard metabolism is dealt with in films and documentaries and different points of the subject are examined from a single focus.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate for people to have blood tests done and to switch to vegan diet under the control of a dietician ”.
Pay attention to B12 deficiency in vegan nutrition

Although vegan nutrition has positive results in heart, blood pressure, chronic constipation and colon cancers, vegan nutrition is not a correct diet for people with muscle disorders such as sarcopenia, protein deficiency or extremely thin individuals. Therefore, if a person decides to be vegan, they should have their vitamin and mineral values analyzed and change their diet by taking supplements if there is a deficiency. Otherwise, many ailments such as forgetfulness, hair loss, fatigue, lack of attention and difficulty in focusing may accompany him ”he suggested.
