Vegan

A vegan is someone who avoids all products derived from animals – they don’t consume or use any animal or animal by-products nor do they purchase products that have been tested on animals. Vegans adapt this lifestyle for ethical reasons, religious beliefs and health & environmental concerns.  The ideal diet of vegans in general consists of plenty of vegetables and fruits, sea vegetables, whole grains, plant-based essential fatty acids (flax & hemp),  legumes and nuts & seeds (source of protein) – food combining such as whole grains/nuts/seeds and legumes create a complete protein. + Read more >

Protein deficiency is not a major concern as long the individual is conscious of their protein intake and exercises good food combining practices.  Vegans have shown to have fewer occurrences of cardiovascular disease, obesity and certain cancers, especially colon cancer (due to high fiber intake). However there are some nutritional deficiencies that may be associated with a vegan diet, especially Vitamin B12 & D, iron and calcium.  Although a carefully designed vegan diet can provide all essential nutrients it is recommended to include vegan health supplements to avoid the risk of becoming deficient. Body Energy Club carries a variety of vegan health supplements for those who want to ensure sufficient intake of the nutrients not easily obtainable from a vegan diet.
