Vegan Diet

A vegan diet consists of fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds and avoids the consumption of meat, fish, poultry, butter, eggs, animal milks, honey and other animal derived products. A well-planned vegan diet provides all of the nutrients necessary to gain or maintain optimum health. Rejuvenative.com offers foods that are vegan-friendly and delicious.

More about the benefits of a vegan diet:

• in 1999 five top health organizations in the US (American Cancer Society, American Dietetic Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, National Institutes of Health and American Heart Association) jointly endorsed and promoted a plant based diet for optimal health 1
• a vegan diet has been medically proven to treat and/or prevent many chronic and often fatal diseases including heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, obesity, diabetes, gallbladder disease, arthritis, kidney disease, gastro-intestinal disorders, and asthma1
• vegan foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are rich in fiber and nutrients 1
• vitamin B12, thought to be lacking in most vegetarian and vegan diets, is often found on the skins of organically grown plants; organic vegetables eaten raw or minimally processed allow this naturally occurring B12 to be easily assimilated in the body 1
