Speech On Vegans

It has long been believed that animal products are an important element in a healthy diet, but recent discussions have become more common on whether they positively or negatively affect an individual's health. Many have argued that animal products are essential to a healthy life, and make them the staple of their diet. But being Vegan vastly increases your health, decreases your negative impact on the planet, and saves countless innocent animals from a meaningless death.

Eliminating all animal products from the diet increases the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies. Micronutrients of special concern for the vegan include vitamins B-12 and D, calcium, fatty acids such as omega 3 which can be obtained from oily fish. Unless vegans regularly consume foods that are fortified with these nutrients, appropriate dietary/vitamin supplements need to be consumed. Iron deficiency which can cause anaemia will also be a concern as they do not consume any red meat to be able to get the iron their body requires.

I myself have had a plant-based diet and a diet made up of processed food and meat, and based on my experience and research it is clear that a plant based diet is the better choice.

Animal cruelty is a significant issue, but for reasons unknown, the majority of the population is unaware of the extent of the cruelty directed toward farm animals. Most people do not consider the fact that the animal, now cooked on their dinner plate, was once alive. Consumers should be concerned about where their food comes from. Although trying to educate someone who does not recognize a problem with their lifestyle is a daunting task. (explain what kind of scholarly source here -I.e., the book compassionate choices….-) Compassionate Choices: Making a Difference for Animals attempts to convince meat-lovers that eating animals is cruel. In their brochure, Vegan Outreach effectively

Vegan life is healthier for the nutritional benefits are better when compared to non-vegan eating. The majority of people in the

No known plant can give you vitamin B12, which is vital to blood and brain function and is involves in every cell function in the body. The other nutrients that are also only found in animal proteins that vegans lack in their diets are essential amino acids, Creatine, Carnosine, and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Eating meat is something that we have been doing for thousands of years and our bodies are made to eat meats and other animal

Imagine a world where killing animals for food was outlawed, and yes while for a second that seems idealistic, if you dive a little past the surface some terrible facts begin to emerge from the depths. Now imagine trying to obtain millions of vegetables, many of which are vulnerable to disease and are very hard to grow, or telling a sick patient that they cannot be cured, when the simple solution would be to add meat in their diets. The fact is our chances of solving world hunger would plummet, millions of people would be out of jobs, and hospitals would be over run by people who can’t live on a diet without meat. Only because people believe eating meat is unethical. Does this world still seem perfect? For years people have been fighting about whether or not we should eat meat, and the truth is not only is it okay to eat meat, but it is better than not eating it, for you, the environment and the world.

Are you B12 deficient? Where do you get your iron from? These are just three of the handful amount of questions vegan are asked on a daily basis. Although a vegan diet can reverse the effects of cancer and prevent a numerous quantity of diseases; is a vegan diet deficient in too many nutrients? “The body cannot manufacture its own iron and is dependent on food intake for an adequate supply.” (Biomech 446) Iron plays a capital role in oxygen transport and body fuel, and lack of this mineral can result in iron deficiency and lack of oxygen. If the body is deficient in oxygen vital organs such as the liver, brain, and kidney undergo damage and or failure. Symptoms also include headaches, trouble breathing, increased heart rate, and hence on. Not to mention, only proteins such as pork, seafood, and poultry can provide the necessary nutrients needed to prevent iron deficiency. This illness is caused by low counts of red blood cells in your blood. Thus, can be preventable if adequate amounts of this mineral are consumed. If not symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, irregular heartbeat and etc will transpire. “Appropriately planned vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Such diets meet current recommendations for all nutrients, including protein, B12 and various minerals that previously raised concerns about vegetable-based diets.” (Templeton 1) If a vegan diet is rich in whole foods such as complex carbs, leafy greens, fruits, and plant based proteins; health benefits are met above and beyond the requirement. Nutritional yeast provides vitamin B12, tofu yield calcium, beans supply protein, and greens allot iron. These foods contain the essential amount of amino acids the body requires for optimal health. In such case that a vitamin or mineral is low in a vegan diet supplements can be taken to fulfill the

Do you care about animals? Have you ever thought how animals would be feeling when taken to the slaughter house for culling? Do you know the harmful impact animal farming industry is having on our environment? If you know the answer, you will definitely change yourself and buy vegan food.

Part of being vegan is constantly having to answer the question, "but what made you go vegan?" And believe me - It. Gets. Old. So, today I'm going to explain what veganism is, how I answer the FAQs, and why I, personally, went vegan.

They will also not consume or use animal dervived products. A vegan diet has both good and bad benifits to it. Most people that follow a vegan type diet are typically underweight and have lower cholesterol levels. This is because people that follow this type of diet only consume “fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seed. No eggs, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, butter, or other milk products are eaten” (Types of Diets). All of the foods consumed by vegans are free of cholesteral and low in saturated fat. This means that people are less likely to get heart disease and or cancer. Following this plan can lead to protein deficiencies. This is because most people get their sources of protein from animal based products. Vegans do not consume animals so they will not be able to obtain the proper amount of protein unless they make sure to eat foods such as; lentils, chickpeas, tofu, peas, peanut butter, soy milk, almonds, spinach, rice, whole wheat bread, potatoes, broccoli, and kale (Veganism). Consuming calcium helps a person maintain strong bones. Various products that are commonly eaten or dranken by vegan have good sources of calcium. Examples of foods and drinks that are good in calcium would be orange juice, soy milk, dark green vegetables, and different types of tofus. Vegans lack Vitiman D because it is not found in foods eaten by vegans. An alternative source of Vitiman D would be if someone when outside for

The first thing that usually comes to one’s mind when they hear the word Veganism is healthy. However, many points would debate against and for this very statement. There are many researches that prove the vegan diet is a healthy one and that this diet is better than a normal animal product eating one, however none proving that it is better than all the other diets, like some people claim the plant-eating one to be. Being a vegan means that you miss essential nutrients on a day to day basis such as vitamins, iron, zinc and calcium just to name a few. As well as this, when you get rid of all these animal products you are at a much higher risk of developing a nutritional deficiency and becoming under-weight. Looking

Some would not be able to live without eating any animal products in their diets, such as, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and honey. For vegans, however, this is a normal way of life. Vegans are frequently misunderstood as either people who have eating disorders, or an unnatural passion for animal rights. It is time for people to realize that veganism, a challenging yet rewarding lifestyle, goes way beyond being skinny or caring for animals. In reality, veganism can be extremely advantageous to anyone who adapts it as a way of life and has many different benefits that come along with it.

Over the past few years, vegan diets have become increasingly popular. However, despite their growing popularity, few in depth investigations have been done about the subject. Three studies that were done were over Finnish, Danish, and Vietnamese vegans and were by Elorinne, Kristensen, and Ho-Pham. The objectives of these studies were to find the effects of the vegan diet on macro- and micronutrient intake, as well as its effect on bone mineral density, rate of bone loss, and frequency of fractures. The methods between them varied but all consisted of an analysis of biomarkers in the body and a measure of food intake. The results of each agreed with each other, as they all showed that vegans had lower levels of key vitamins and

Vegetarians have a limited choice when it comes to food, but they are satisfied with it and enjoy it thoroughly; the moment you take a vegetarian friend to a restaurant and eat non-veg, you know how the reaction would be, LOL. But today, what we are going to discuss is capable of giving vegetarians a heart attack. How often have you visited a VEG RESTAURANT and ordered manchow soup or naan or a salad and thought that you are having vegetarian food?
