The 7 Basic Rules of Healthy Vegan Food

A vegan diet is only healthy when you consider and abide by a set of rules. Unfortunately, as I have noted, these few rules are not always taken into account, especially when the vegan diet is carried out for ethical reasons. However, precisely who is ethically vegan should be healthy in order to be a positive example of veganism and motivate other people to carry this type of food. Negative examples often provoke reactions against veganism.

At this point, it should be emphasized again that a vegetarian diet has no beneficial effect on health (in any case, this type of diet does not present any kind of benefit to the one who carries it out for ethical reasons) and that the results which show that vegetarians enjoy better health are basically due to the fact that conscientious vegetarians tend to lead a healthier lifestyle in general. Milk and all its derivatives are undoubtedly the most harmful foods of all (for more information, see hormone content, animal proteins carcinogenic and content in harmful substances). If we consider the scientific literature would be serious about this, we will undoubtedly end up concluding that there are 7 golden rules of vegan food, rules that I highly recommend are respected:

The most important thing is to eat as varied as possible.
Take a dietary supplement of vitamin B12, and in winter possibly vitamin D (may be vitamin D2 vegan or vitamin D3 of vegan origin) and iodine, which is obtained from algae or iodized salt, although the latter should be taken in moderation.
Take a drink with a high content of vitamin C in the meals to optimize the assimilation of iron.
Avoid consumption of refined sugars and white flour.
Restrict the amount of extra oils and fats (if you suffer from heart disease, completely avoid its consumption). This rule should not apply to young vegan children.
It is advisable to get the omega-3 from freshly ground flax seeds.
Restrict the consumption of industrially processed foods.
Give preference to fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole products.
