Product Description
Book Description
This is the one we’ve all been waiting for - all you need to know about healthy vegan eating, based on the most up to date scientific studies and researched and written by the Chair of the Vegan Society.
This is the book no vegan should be without – not just for our own health, but to challenge myths about veganism put about by the ignorant, the uninformed and those with vested interests in the exploitation of animals.
Studies show that vegetarians live years longer than the general population. With the right choices, vegans could live even longer than vegetarians. We all know we should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and make sure we get our B12, but after that it gets confusing:
* Which foods help us to achieve and maintain an ideal weight?
* How can we reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer?
* We've all heard of cholesterol, but what about homocysteine?
* Where should we get our omega-3 fatty acids?
* Which foods protect our bones and which guard against dementia?
* Why do the Japanese live so much longer?
* What about the Mediterranean diet?
* Do we need a host of expensive pills and potions to achieve a balanced diet?
Backed up by 37 pages of scientific references.
From the Publisher
Throughout the book, the emphasis is on support for individual choice rather than any uniform prescription. For those who want a balanced, healthy and enjoyable diet, there are simple guidelines indicating the best approach. For those who want all the details, there are full explanations and a wealth of scientific references. No expensive supplements or exotic foodstuffs are required and everything recommended can be easily and cheaply obtained.
All the recommendations are based on human studies, often involving many thousands of people. None of the recommendations is based on information obtained from experiments on animals. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
