The vegan movement is very strong right now, with many people choosing to make the often-dramatic diet and lifestyle change. There are now countless blogs, Instagram accounts, websites and restaurants dedicated to the diet/ lifestyle that has made veganism more accessible, easy and acceptable than ever.
Where a vegetarian may eat some animal products like dairy and eggs, a vegan eats absolutely no animal products, including any foods that have come from an animal – including things like honey. The reasons for going vegan range from the known health benefits of including more plant foods and reducing animal foods from the diet, environmental reasons and the treatment and harm that may come to the animals in processing.
These are all incredibly valid reasons for making such a drastic change to a diet. However, much care needs to go into creating a perfectly balanced vegan diet because so very many essential nutrients can be missing, which can cause serious health implications in the long term. More often than not, some of those nutrients simply can’t be met in the diet alone, and often dietary supplements will be needed to fill in those nutritional gaps.
