VEGAN

What Is A Vegan?
Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other
animal-derived ingredients.
Many vegan also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined
white sugar and some wines.
Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating, or to the diet itself.

What Do Vegans Eat?


This is perhaps the most common question about veganism.
A vegan diet includes all grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits and the nearly
infinite number of foods made by combining them.
Many foods are associated with veganism, such as soy milk and tofu, but many non-vegans
also enjoy tofu, and you certainly don't have to like tofu in order to eat vegan.

Why Not Eat Dairy Products Or Eggs?


Vegans do not consume or use dairy products or eggs even though doing so would not kill
the animal.
Part of the reason is a belief in the absolute right of animals to exist freely without human
interference, but also because many commercially-raised egg-laying chickens and dairy
cows are slaughtered when their productivity declines with age - this is even the case with
free range animals.

Vitamins And Minerals


Vegetables, like fruits, are low in calories and fats but contain good amounts of
vitamins and minerals.
All the Green-Yellow-Orange vegetables are rich sources of calcium, magnesium,
potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-C, vitamin-A, and
vitamin K.

Benefits
Health:
Minor risk of suffering cardiovascular diseases.
The vegetable food does not have cholesterol.
Minor appraises of hypertension
Minor appraises of diabetes.
Minor appraises of cancer.

Other:
When we feed of an animal, we traverse the risk that it transmits his diseases that
the own animal had.
The tuberculosis, the brucellosis, parasitic internal diseases, etc are transmitted
across the consumption of animal products.
