We all know by now that a vegan diet has several health benefits, including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Eating more veg and less dairy can also make your skin glow, and don’t worry about the protein factor: plant based foods are actually rich in the stuff, and while vegans may have to take B12 and iron supplements, the benefits of eating more whole grains, vegetables and legumes that are low in fat and high in fibre are immense.
So no wonder that a wide range of celebrities including Usher, Russell Brand, Ellen Degeneres and Olivia Wilde–all of whom need to look and feel their best at all times–are turning to vegan diets, and now that includes superdiva, Beyonce.
