Lacto-Vegetarianism
Lacto-vegetarianism is a dietary practice that includes plant-based foods along with dairy products, but excludes meat, fish, and eggs. This lifestyle focuses on consuming fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and dairy items like milk, cheese, and yogurt.
Many people choose lacto-vegetarianism for health benefits, ethical reasons, or environmental concerns. It can provide essential nutrients, such as calcium and protein, while promoting a balanced diet. However, individuals following this diet should ensure they get adequate vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin B12 and iron, which are commonly found in animal products.
