In this YouTube segment, four speakers share personal experiences and a basic scientific explanation for why many celebrities and athletes are abandoning dairy. Speaker A recounts a two‑year vegetarian journey that became fully vegan after marriage, while Speaker B describes adopting a vegan lifestyle during the COVID‑19 lockdown and viewing it as a major personal achievement. Both express satisfaction with a plant‑based diet. Speaker C raises the question of why so many high‑profile figures are giving up milk. Speaker D answers by explaining lactose, the lactase enzyme, and how lactase production naturally declines with age, leading to digestive discomfort such as gas and bloating when dairy is consumed. The speaker claims that eliminating dairy can reduce these symptoms and also lessen heaviness or belly fat, positioning the health benefits as a key driver behind the celebrity trend.

I've turned vegetarian for almost two years now. 90% would be dairy free and everything. I became vegan when I married Radhi.
I'm almost like vegan. I turned vegan during the lockdown. Transitioning into vegan was the biggest achievement. I've been vegan preferred vegetarian since almost two months now.
मैं कुछ भी मांस, दूध, भूत नहीं कंज्यूम करता। I'm very pleased to be plant based and play on this level.
इतने सारे सेलिब्रिटीज़ और एथलीट्स दूध क्यों छोड़ रहे हैं?
Dairy products में एक चीज़ पाई जाती है। जिसे कहते हैं लैक्टोस। अब आपकी बॉडी में एक दूसरा एलिमेंट नीडेड होता है, जिसे कहते हैं लैक्टेस। ये उस दूध में पाए लैक्टोस को ब्रेकडाउन और डाइजेस्ट करता है। जैसे हम बड़े होते हैं, हमारी बॉडी ये लैक्टेस बनाना नैचुरली कम कर देती है। रिजल्ट बड़े होने पर डेरी प्रोडक जिसे हम आमतौर पर गैस या ब्लोटिंग का नाम दे देते हैं। जब हम डेरी प्रोडक्ट्स नहीं लेते तो गैस होगी ही नहीं। नैचुरली अगर आप हेविनेस या बेली फैट एक्सपीरियंस करते हैं तो वो भी कम होने लगेगा।
