More and more of us are questioning the impact of our dietary choices. As a result, vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets have gained visibility in recent years and are part of a broader shift in our relationship with food. In this context, more than 60% of French people feel ready to reduce their consumption of meat products in favor of plant-based products. Various factors have encouraged these French people to change their lifestyle, including a strong interest in animal welfare, environmental protection and the prevention of certain diseases.
A closer look at vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets
The vegetarian diet
A vegetarian diet consists of excluding animal-based proteins (meat, fish and seafood) from the diet, with the exception of eggs and dairy products.
The vegan diet
The vegan diet goes further than the vegetarian diet and is based on a purely plant-based diet. Veganism therefore goes beyond simply following a diet and is instead considered a lifestyle.
The flexitarian diet
Nearly 40% of French people have adopted a flexitarian diet, which involves prioritizing plant-based foods and limiting meat consumption.
What should you be mindful of when choosing this type of diet?
Indeed, vitamins B12, B2 and D are found primarily in animal-based foods, and a deficiency in these vitamins can cause irreversible neurological damage, anemia or unusual fatigue.
How can you optimize your nutritional intake as part of these diets?
The vegan dietary supplement Essentiel vegan, végétarien & flexitarien was specially developed to suit vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets. This excellent product comes in the form of Duocaps capsules, an ultra-innovative and highly comprehensive format. It contains vegan vitamin B12, plant-based vitamin D3, vitamin B2, vitamin C, iron, zinc, iodine and selenium combined with omega-3s.
