Discovering Veganism: An Overview of Tips, Tricks and Benefits of a Vegan Lifestyle

Veganism is growing now more than ever before, and with the abundance of vegan foods, personal care products, household products and fashion, it’s becoming easier and easier to take on a vegan lifestyle. This growing interest is fueled by the many benefits of veganism, not only to protect the welfare of animals and our planet, but also individual health and wellbeing.

When discussing practicing a vegan life, food and dietary choices are usually the first thing that come to mind. There are plant based options for all types of vegans, from plant based “junk food,” to healthy “superfoods.” To have the most success when exploring veganism or transitioning to it completely from a diet including animal products, it can be helpful to start with substituting your favorite non-vegan dishes; the ones that include meats, cheeses, etc., and simply switching out the animal-based components for their vegan counterpart.

This simple method allows for trying new foods, while staving off cravings for favorite non-vegan foods, since all the favorites are still being included, and also prevents a feeling of becoming overwhelmed with too much unfamiliarity. One important aspect of leaning towards a plant based diet is being sure to also include plenty of natural, whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Incorporating a variety of these whole foods ensures that nutritional needs are not being neglected.

Additionally, vegan food is typically lower in calories, so eating bigger quantities of food, and eating more often may be necessary, especially when first starting out. As animal-based products are being removed from the diet, common health benefits include weight loss, higher energy levels, improved digestion, lowered blood pressure, and a lowered risk of many cancers and diseases.

The cause of these ailments is often traced back to the intake of animal protein. Our bodies are not equipped to properly digest animal proteins, which can cause digestion and weight management issues. Further more, the dietary cholesterol found in all animal products causes a buildup of plaque in the arteries, which narrows blood vessels. This constricts blood flow in the body, which is the trigger for blood clots, heart attacks and heart disease.

When transitioning towards a plant based diet, check with your doctor if you are on any medications for heart disease or diabetes, as you will most likely need to reduce your dosage or refrain from taking medication completely within a few weeks to a couple months of lowering animal protein intake. Food is a prime focus of veganism, but it does expand to other aspects of daily life, as well, such as skincare, hair care, makeup and other beauty and personal care products.

For something to be considered vegan and cruelty free, an item needs not only to contain zero animal products, but also abstain from testing on animals. When transitioning to a holistically vegan life, many individuals find that in addition to the physical health benefits, they experience a more liberated and guilt-free conscience.

Having an increased self-awareness, as well as ensuring one’s actions are in harmony with their ethics and values, has been shown to have a positive effect on mental and emotional well-being. The first step towards living a kinder life is to educate yourself on issues that resonate with you to find your why, and then deciding what living a truly authentic life that accurately reflects your moral principles means for you.

Dairy Giant ‘Lactalis Canada’ To Go Permanently Plant-Based

French dairy giant Lactalis has announced that it will be shutting down all dairy products in its Canadian facility starting from September 20th. This huge shift comes as a response to consumers’ demands for saying no to animal cruelty and choosing plant-based as a lifestyle.

While the dairy market has been witnessing a subsequent decline in demand and production – thanks to the increased awareness of what goes on behind the scenes in these facilities – Canada is making waves as one of the most prominent countries at the forefront of saying no to animal cruelty.

Nestled in the town of Sudbury in Canada, Lactalis believes the “long-term volume decline” and “increased costs in the fluid milk market in Ontario” had led them to this decision of bringing a halt to manufacturing. The rising surge of healthier milk alternatives in the region has also pushed this decision ahead.

However, this is just another feather in the brand’s conscious hat – they are already well-known for their Sensational Soy and Lactantia Margarine which are two of the leading plant-based and vegan products in the region today.

How Mental Health Affects Parent-Child Connection

The early life phase of children is essential for their cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral development. In their growing years, it is equally important for parents to take care of their own mental health in order to positively impact their little ones.

In recent years, studies have discovered that 18.2 percent of parents suffer from mental illness and 3.8 percent of parents suffer from chronic mental issues. Children who are exposed to these parental mental health problems are of growing concern as their caretakers lose themselves in this battle of their minds.

 

HOW PARENTS SHOW SYMPTOMS

Parents’ psychological problems may lead to negative parenting behaviors, lack of attention to children’s needs, or increased dysfunction within the home. Mental illnesses can in turn cause a myriad of physical health problems which can be exhausting on both the parent and the kid. Cases of abuse are not rare as parents dive deep into frustration, feeling helpless.

With chronic mental illness, parents may grow unable to step up and perform their duties as functioning adults – failing to provide a safe and secure growing environment for their kids.

 

HOW CHILDREN INTERNALIZE PARENTAL ISSUES

Toddlers are sensitive to changes, be it, physical, internal, or behavioral. Growing up with a disturbed parent can cause the kid to isolate themselves at school, struggle with concentration and maintaining friendships, and develop unhealthy coping mechanisms.

As adults, they also might live with the constant fear of turning out to be like their parents which can cause several other emotional problems. They may also harbor physical health problems.

It really is a cycle. In order to prevent mental health issues from disrupting healthy parenting and childhood, it is important that:

  1. The child has someone to talk to – a guardian, friend, or therapist, to process their feelings.
  2. The child has not been kept in the dark about their parent’s illness, but rather duly informed.
  3. The parent is seeking the right help for their diagnosis and is transparent with their child about it.
  4. There are sufficient boundaries laid between the parent and child so as to maintain a healthy long-term connection.

Curating A Plant-Based Diet For Your Toddler

Health truly is wealth, and the earlier we start investing the better. If you have been wondering about guiding your little one to a plant-based or vegan diet from an early age, fret not – here are all the answers you wanted to your initial questions.

When it comes to plant-based vegan diets, many would fear going cold turkey on animal-based products. However, it is good to note toddlers don’t have to immediately do that. A good plant-based diet for kids constitutes the majority of it being whole, plant-based sources in 0lant based diet for toddlerstheir daily diet. As long as they’re getting the right nutrition (calories, proteins, and micronutrients), no vegan or plant-based diet is inapt for toddlers.

In fact, plant-based diets are known for reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, healthy weight management, strong immunity, and better brain health! Here are three ways your kid can ease their way into healthy vegan eating:

  1. Pay attention to proteins: Some parents might be wary of their kids not eating enough protein, but plant-based sources are more than nutritious to tick off your growing kids’ protein needs. Make sure to include beans, nuts, quinoa, cauliflower, and soy and its products to increase their daily nutritional value.
  2. Allow them to experiment for themselves: Instead of sticking to a rigid food plan, allow your little one’s space to get creative and choose their choice of food for themselves. If they’re not fond of a certain green item, let them say no and pick alternatives of their choice. It is especially important to be mindful with picky eaters to help them build a healthy relationship with their diet in the long run.
  3. Note the must-haves: Some of the must-include food items would include kale, broccoli, soy milk, hummus, potatoes, lentils, seeds, chickpeas, tofu, and dried fruits. These make up the foundation of your kid’s plant-based lifestyle, so make sure they’re eating this plenty.

 

Remember: It is not about restricting but making healthy eating a lifestyle choice for a better future for your kids.

Turkey Bans Vegan Cheese – Why?

The Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry recently announced a ban on the production and sale of vegan cheese alternatives that look like traditional dairy cheese. The legislation claims that calling dairy alternatives “cheese” will mislead shoppers.

Stating that “products that give the impression of cheese cannot be produced using vegetable oil or other food ingredients,” plant-based companies in Turkey will have to face fines and legal action unless all production and sales have been put to a halt.

This makes Turkey one of the least vegan-friendly countries in the world today.

In response, the Vegan Association of Turkey (TVD) has met this ban with an immediate lawsuit claiming this “violates the right of access to food of all consumers who have adopted a vegan lifestyle.” The association has also launched a petition through Change.org, aiming to collect public support.

With rising demands for dairy alternatives in markets all across the world, many countries, such as France and America, have already begun to halt the prominence of vegan alternatives in several states. This poses a direct violation to the independent lifestyle choices of consumers who prefer to go vegan.

Canada Shows Support for New Plant-Based Manufacturing

Catering to the increasing demand for plant-based and vegan alternatives in the market, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, recently invested over $1.4 million in funding for Big Mountain Foods 2 Ltd. in Delta, British Columbia.

Based in Vancouver, Big Mountain Foods 2 Ltd. is a women-led homegrown company manufacturing natural and vegan foods since 1987. Their aim is to bring forth sustainably produced and zero-waste vegan protein foods using high-quality local ingredients. Some of their well-renowned items include Mushroom Bites, Broccoli Boost Veggie Grounds, and The Original Veggie Patty.

With Canada emerging as one of the most vegan-friendly regions around the world, the government has extended its support towards the brand and announced this whopping investment for manufacturing plant-based whole foods – credit to the increasing health awareness of consumers across the country.

The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, states, “Plant-based foods are growing in popularity as Canadians are increasingly looking for options to incorporate greater variety into their diets. Investing in businesses like Big Mountain Foods 2 is establishing Canada’s position as a global leader in this industry while increasing consumer choice of alternative protein options.”

The brand’s plant-based soy-free tofu, already having hit and encouraged the markets, is a further testament to Canada’s growing concern for the conservation of our planet with plant-based and vegan innovations. We hope for further similar growth and change.

Clean and Green: Rise of The Vegan Beauty Industry

Projected to reach $21.4 billion by 2027, the vegan beauty market has been considered a niche. Today, our vanity shelves are stocked with cruelty-free labels – thanks to the rising awareness and demand for brand values. Here is how and why the beauty industry is slowly turning to non-animal-based products.

While the clean beauty notion has been around for years, it was truly during the pandemic that consumers turned inwards and began to seek brands that share the same values as them. In a world battling climate change, excessive pollution, and a highly sedentary lifestyle, consumers today hold themselves highly accountable for staying aware of what goes into their favourite products, and eventually on their skin.

 

WHAT MAKES BEAUTY “VEGAN”? 

Much like the vegan diet suggests, vegan beauty is that containing no products derived from animals. The terms cruelty-free and vegan often go hand-in-hand, but it is to note they can’t be interchangeable. Where vegan signifies no animal products have been used in production, cruelty-free denotes the same product has not been tested on any animals.

(Fun fact: the first vegan beauty product can be traced back to 1990 when luxe beauty brand Estee Lauder decided to omit animal products in its formulations.)

Honey, gelatin, glycerin, and retinol are some common ingredients omitted from the vegan beauty shelf. Plant-based alternatives are taking over animal byproducts, and where they don’t, research is doing a commendable job of producing these eco-friendly counterparts.

 

WHY IS VEGAN BEAUTY NEEDED?

  1. It is subtle for all skin types. Vegan products are well known for being less aggravating on the skin with more efficiency.
  2. It is eco-friendly. By reducing the strain on its environment, the vegan beauty industry directly helps conserve the crippling environment with less greenhouse gas emissions.
  3. Supports animal welfare. Lest we say more?

You can take a walk through any major beauty section and be delighted to find not only vegan but plant-based and traditional beauty ingredients in their collections. Where science has its own place in the industry, today the brand value lies in non-animal-based and byproduct formulations. This rising concern for the conservation of the environment is no longer gone unseen.

Beauty giants such as Target, Sephora, and Ulta Beauty are all compliant with this new age of beauty and makeup. Further brands like The Ordinary, Kylie Cosmetics, Milk Makeup, E.L.F Cosmetics, Pai Skincare, Cake Beauty, and many many more are now cult-chosen worldwide for their 100% vegan selections!

A completely conscious beauty dream may still be that – a dream – but the dots are being connected and will soon be a turnover for both brands and consumers. A revolution awaits.

Established in Vancouver, Canada, the Yoga Health Expo 2022 will be a one-day festival celebrating the joys of good well-being through a holistic approach to the Yogic way of life including Yoga, Veganism, and Vegetarianism in our lifestyle. The celebration shall welcome famous yoga teachers Vancouver, interactive yoga classes Vancouver and a platform for vegan products and vegan food Vancouver.
