As more and more individuals reduce their carnivorous ways, one essential question remains: Are plant-based and vegan diets healthy?
The answer is yes. If appropriately planned, plant-based or vegan diets can be healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.What does it mean to be Vegan?
A vegan diet is one that consists of only plant-derived foods. Vegans do not consume any animals or animal products, so no poultry, meat, dairy, eggs, or honey.
Feel Good. Be Nourished.
Vegans VS Flexitarians
Eating vegan means eating nutritious, natural foods found in any supermarket - fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and nuts/seeds. These make up the bulk of the vegan diet, typically designed for optimum health.A Flexitarian is someone who enjoys plant-based foods most of the time. While not full-time plant-based or vegan eaters, a Flexitarian still eats poultry, fish or beef occasionally.
