Publisher's Synopsis
As we get older, our bodies require fewer calories. However, we need to maintain a good quality diet, containing a bit of extra protein and plenty of fibre, vitamins and minerals. This means that it is even more important to make nutritious choices.
A vegan diet is based on plants (such as vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits) and foods made from plants.
Vegans do not eat foods that come from animals, including dairy products and eggs.
Plant-based diets continue to grow in popularity, worldwide. There are plenty of reasons people switch to a plant-based diet, including ethical and environmental reasons. However, a growing number of people are shunning meat for health reasons. Evidence shows that plant-based diets may help support the immune system, lower the risk of heart disease and stroke, and may be good for overall health. While a well-planned plant-based diet can support healthy living in people of all ages, our nutritional needs change with different life stages, so people over the age of 50 may need to take more care when opting for a plant-based diet. They may have specific nutritional needs and may need certain nutrients, vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. READY TO DISCOVER MORE? GRAB A COPY TODAY!!
