The vegan food: discover the secrets

Picture by SweetOnVeg

A vegan diet is one that most of us have heard of, but really do not know what it entails. A vegan diet is typically plant based and meat-free. However, this does not mean that those who partake in a vegan diet eat bland foods, or only salads. Vegans eat pastas, vegetables, fruits, beans, and rice. They also use many herbs and spices to give their dishes flavor. Those who eat vegan do not think about what they can eat, they think about what they do or will eat. Vegan diets have great health benefits, such as weight loss, prevention of heart diseases, lower cholesterol levels, and assistance with diabetes. Many people go on vegan diets to support animals or the planet. These are great goals, and these diets do help. Mass farming creates pollution, and hurts water supplies, soil, and our air. One of the wonderful advantages to eating vegan is buying produce. Farmer’s markets are fun, support local business, and help give you a little exercise. And if you have children, they will love it. Farmer’s markets are a great place to buy natural, pesticide-free foods that will fit right into your vegan diet. A vegan diet is low-fat, cholesterol free, and full of protein, fiber, calcium, and many of the other nutrients that a typical diet lacks. Foods that come from animals are typically high in cholesterol, fats, and sugars. Many of the natural foods that are included in a vegan diet do not include these. Going from a regular meat filled diet to a vegan diet is tough, but can be done and the benefits are worth it.
