Now, let’s bust some myths about veganism!
This is one of the myths about veganism that can be harmful. Though a lot of people claim that there is no need for supplements on a vegan diet, studies ( 1, 2 ) have shown that vegans and vegetarians have a higher risk of getting B12 deficiency. To avoid that, we recommend vegans to take B12 supplements.
It’s important to pay attention to nutrition no matter your diet. So make sure that you receive all the nutrients you need, whether that’s from food or supplements.
The staples of a healthy vegan diet are not expensive at all. Things such as rice, legumes, vegetables, and fruits are easy to find at your local food store and are rarely expensive. This, of course, depends on where you are based, but in most cases, staples aren't that pricy.
What can cause a vegan diet to be more expensive is processed, and prepackaged vegan food. So as long as that is kept at a minimum, you should be able to eat a healthy vegan diet without spending too much money on food.
Veganism is about avoiding animal suffering. This includes diet but extends to other parts of life such as avoiding products that have been tested on animals.
According to vrg, It’s not that hard to get protein on a vegan diet. There are plenty of plant-based foods filled with protein for vegans to consume. Things such as tofu, lentils, and chickpeas are all good sources of plant-based proteins that taste delicious!
Good luck on your vegan journey!
Just because you've gone vegan doesn't mean you have to miss out on one of life's great pleasures: eating cheese. Fortunately, there are now plenty of delicious vegan cheeses available, made from a variety of plant-based ingredients.
When you're on the go, there's often no time to cook or even eat a proper meal. You need to grab something quick and easy that will give you enough energy to last your busy day. That's why it never hurts to have some pre-packed vegan granola bars at the ready in your kitchen cupboard.
They're usually delicious, filling, easy to store, and can fill your belly without taking up the time you don't have.
Around the world, the human population has seen a huge rise in the popularity of the vegan diet. A vegan diet is one that relies exclusively on plant-based foods and omits any products that come from animals. For example, a vegan does not eat eggs, dairy, meat, or fish.
There are several reasons why people choose to be vegan. For some, it is part of a centuries-old cultural and religious tradition. For others, going vegan can be the right dietary choice to help inspire better eating habits. There are also those who become vegan due to moral or ethical objections to the way farm animals are raised for food in certain parts of the world.
