is well planned and fully-supplemented it is a great boost for your health. By eating less meat products and getting your vitamins and protein from entirely alternative sources, a healthy lifestyle naturally follows as a result. Weight loss is a big benefit of this lifestyle change, but it also reduces the risks of bowel, colon, breast, and prostate cancers, heart disease, type two diabetes,
cataracts, osteoporosis
and arthritis. These health benefits may be sought after for many, but there are risks that accompany this lifestyle choice. To plan a vegan diet, you will need to increase certain foods to balance out a healthy intake of proteins, minerals and vitamins that you would normally gain from eating meat, dairy or eggs. Cutting out meats and dairy products from your diet
often leads to the
addition of supplementary foods, such as nuts, seeds or dried fruit, which in turn, mean you will begin to ingest more vitamins and antioxidants. It also means you tend to eat a lot less fat in your diet. If you don’t like the idea of eradicating a food group entirely from your diet or like meat too much, try introducing two meat-free days a week. Even that small reduction could change your health. By either sourcing your food from local butchers and greengrocers or by buying organically
farmed meat and
animal by-products, you can continue to eat meat and dairy but still do your bit to stop the carbon footprint of industrial animal farming from rising.
