Vegan Diet

In addition, Vegans do not use products like leather, fur, silk, cosmetics and soaps derived from animals.

Vegan Nutrition

As with any other diet, the soundness of the vegan diet is reflected in its nutritional adequacy and variety. It includes a wide range of healthy options like legumes, seeds, nuts, leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and their products, etc. These meals should include the prescribed ranges of proteins, fats, carbohydrates required for adequate body development and sustenance.

Vegans have lower BMI’s than their non-vegetarian counterparts, increasing a body’s fitness and reducing dangers of any obesity related conditions.

Due to elimination of dairy and animal based products from the diet, there will be a reduction in the consumption of processed foods which will lead to weight loss.

Veganism is a way of protecting Nature’s bounty and its animal kingdom.

The cultivation of Veganism requires a great deal of self control, which eventually becomes a part of one’s character and can be extended to other behavioral tendencies like commitment, dedication and self control.

Cons

Veganism is a drastic lifestyle change and can require a huge amount of adjustment, especially if an individual is not allowed or is allergic to certain foods such as soy.

The diet can disturb the balance of the existing medical problems in the body. If a person suffers from diabetes or osteoporosis, it will be prudent to consult with a physician and dietician before embarking on the Vegan journey.

Dining out becomes a difficulty as most restaurants don’t offer a lot of vegan choices, so choose your restaurant carefully.
