A well-planned vegan intake is healthy, nutritionally adequate and able to provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain illnesses. Appropriately planned and balanced vegan intakes are also suitable during any stage of life, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, infancy, childhood, adolescence, as we age and for athletes.
There are many reasons for the increasing interest in wanting to be vegan, including moral and ethical considerations such as animal welfare, environmental concerns and a desire for overall improved health. However, becoming vegan is not a decision to make lightly. Despite it possibly being the healthiest way to eat for us and our planet, eating a well-balanced vegan intake that provides all the nutrients your body needs to survive and thrive requires a great deal of attention, knowledge, planning, preparation and execution.
This book aims to help you do exactly that more easily.
