Famous actress Alicia Silverstone talked about the unexpected health changes she experienced after switching to a plant-based diet.
Medianews.az reports that Silverstone, known for films like "Clueless" and "Batman & Robin," said on the podcast "Sibling Revelry" that she changed her diet and it made revolutionary differences in her life.
Silverstone said that she initially decided to become vegan out of love for animals. However, over time, she saw the positive effects of this type of diet on her health:
“I used to use an asthma inhaler, get allergy shots twice a week. I frequently had bronchitis and took antibiotics, and my face was full of pimples. All of that disappeared at once. It was a miracle for me.”
Silverstone said that she tried to be vegetarian as a child, and once on a plane, when her brother made a lamb noise while eating, she understood the origin of the meat on her plate and since that day began to question her eating habits.
The actress said that after watching a documentary, she decided to completely give up animal-based products.
Additionally, in an interview a few weeks ago, she attributed her youthful appearance to her vegan diet:
“If I look young without any Botox or fillers, it is entirely thanks to my vegan diet. I may not always be perfect, but I constantly return to a plant-based diet.”
According to Mayo Clinic, although there is no specific diet for asthma, sources of antioxidants such as fruits and vegetables can help alleviate asthma symptoms. Also, plant-based diets can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart diseases. However, those who choose this diet should be cautious about deficiencies in some vital nutrients like vitamin B12.
