Being vegan is a lifestyle that some people prefer to lead a healthier life or choose not to consume any animal-derived food.
The foods that vegans consume can be divided into a food pyramid as follows:
- First level: Cereals
- Second level: Vegetables
- Third level: Fruits and nuts
- Fourth level: Calcium-rich foods (vegetables, soy milk, etc.)
- Fifth level: Legumes or legume alternatives
- Sixth level: Fats (nuts, olive oil, flaxseed oil, etc.)
As you can see, the foods that vegans consume mainly reject any products like meats, fish, poultry, dairy, eggs, honey, and generally any animal-derived or animal-tested products.
People who consider themselves vegan do so because they propose to have a lifestyle that is respectful towards animals and a discipline in their eating habits.
Our recommendation is that if you decide to be vegan, you consult an expert about a balanced diet to cover the nutritional requirements that your body needs.
