The idea of a healthier diet is a common addition to every New Year's resolutions and we've all thought about it to some extent. The idea of a "cleaner" lifestyle that will give us and the environment so many benefits, that it's really worth trying. That's how the challenge came about. Veganuary or Veganuary, as we half-translate it.
This is a diet based on legumes, vegetables, nuts, fruits, cereals and olive oil which can bring about immediate improvement in our health.
It has been linked to a reduced risk of:
- type II diabetes,
- heart disease,
- even cancer.
It is rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, while it greatly helps the health of the digestive system.
The good thing about this diet is that the positive impact it has on the body is seen very quickly. A 2018 study showed that people who followed a vegetarian diet saw their total cholesterol levels decrease in just four weeks, the same period as January. It's worth a try.
Switching from one diet to another is not an easy task. It requires planning and knowledge. We should be informed about how to plan our meals and learn what to replace the animal protein and other animal products we consume today, depending on the nutritional needs of each organism.
That's why we are here to inform and educate you about the vegan diet, to find new and creative recipes that will fill your dishes with color, aromas and deliciousness!
So, happy January, however you decide to spend it!
