Today, it is obvious that studies are being conducted on sedentary and athletic individuals who integrate these diets into their lives. As it is known from such studies, it is an important factor that individuals who want to adopt these diets as a lifestyle should adapt to this life with the help of a suitable doctor and diet. In addition, it is very important to what extent individuals with any of these diets can get sufficient amounts of substances such as B12, iron, zinc, vitamin D and calcium from herbal products.
