Over the years, increasingly more people have decided to go vegan for ethical, environmental and or health reasons. Just like any diet there are pro’s and cons to the Vegan lifestyle. But with good planning and an understanding of what makes up a healthy, balanced vegan diet, you can ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs.
The primary difference between vegans and vegetarians is that vegetarians only avoid meat, while vegans avoid all animal-sourced products. Veganism generally extends to a lifestyle that involves not using any materials derived from animals, including leather, fur, wool, and silk. Household products, such as cosmetics and soaps are also excluded if they are made with or tested on animals.
If you decide to try the vegan lifestyle out, make sure to include rich protein sources in your diet like beans or a quality pea protein powder! I would also recommend taking a B12 and a calcium supplement to combat the inefficiencies and ensure you are meeting all your nutritional needs!
Best regards,
