VEGANISM

VEGANISM?

Hi everybody and welcome back! Today I decided to tell you something about veganism. WHY? Because it seems to me that it slowly is becoming a trend of these days and I know that many people judge vegans because they think it can not be healthy. So….I would like to tell you basic facts and also  my opinion about this trend.

 Hope you enjoy it!

What does it mean to be a vegan?

Veganism is a kind of diet and also life philosophy. Vegan is basically someone  who doesn’t eat any animal products – that means eggs, milk, honey, meat, another dairy products and so on. There is many vegans that also refuse to use animal-tested cosmetics, disagree with fishing, hunting, circus or ZOO . They also do not wear clothes made from animals ( furs, leather jackets,...).

What you should know as a vegan + what about vegans health?

If you think it can not be that good for your body you are generally right. Being vegan requires hard work. You should know your body well, listen to it and you also must know what your body needs- especially if you are still in development.

If you are educated enough and you want to become a vegan go and help yourself. 

But you should  know that you will need some dietary supplements :

B12, vitamin D, iodine, selenium, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids

- because you won’t have your meat protein and many other important nutrients that means you have to supplement them.

Do vegans eat grass?

OH, NO….

they don’t eat grass. I hear it everywhere around me but it definitelly is not true! Even though vegans eat only plant product their plates are usually full of colorful and nutrion food - (You just have to know your options!!).

What can vegan eat:

• ·         vegetable (potatoes,..)
• ·         fruit
• ·         soya (tofu, soy milk, soy „meat“,…)
• ·         legume (lentils, beans, peas,…)
• ·         pasta
• ·         oats
• ·         nuts and other seeds
•        ..........

You might be surprised at what magical food can be produced from these ingredients!

I think being vegan isn't bad at all - if you take care of your body well. Personally, I don't consume many animal products and I am trying to avoid eating dairy products. I don't eat meat at all and the rest of animal products I try to replace as much as possible by plant products - soy milk, tofu..

I like eating like this. It is much more delicious to me and I am calmer because I know what I actually eat. I also like to create nice, healthy and colorful meals.
