Avoid Vegan Diet Pitfalls

Definition of a vegan diet

A vegan diet is a plant-based approach that excludes animal products like meats, fish, eggs, dairy goods, honey, and animal byproducts. The mainstay of a vegan diet is whole, minimally processed plant foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, and whole grains. Vegans also avoid using animal-tested cosmetics and cleaning products. A well-planned vegan diet can offer health benefits like reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol, blood pressure, malignancies, improved immune system, and weight management.

It's crucial to be informed about the potential health implications of certain vegan foods. This knowledge empowers you to make responsible and proactive choices for your health.

Finally, What doctors say about veganism

A couple of extracts from the Live Kindly website:

  • Many doctors, dieticians, and other health professionals advocate for a plant-based diet. In part, this is because of the health risks associated with animal products. There is an increasing body of evidence that links meat consumption—particularly that of red and processed meats—with chronic illness.

  • According to the World Health Organization (WHO), eating 50 grams of processed meat per day—four strips of bacon or a single hot dog—can increase the risk of colorectal cancer by up to 18 percent. Diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular diseases, and colon cancer are all linked to eating meat.

Many more doctors have commented on the healing powers of a vegan diet.
