Veganism has become a growing trend. However, being vegan doesn’t necessarily make you a healthy eater. People following unhealthy vegan diets are at a high risk for chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, hypertension, and arthritis. This course will teach you how to:

Eat a healthy vegan diet

1.      Emphasis on healthy veganism

The most important aspect of a lifestyle is how it affects the body. Therefore, this course strongly emphasizes the presence of two factors. Firstly, it’s important to follow a vegan diet that promotes good health. As such, this course teaches you how to eat plant foods in a way that provides wholesome nutrition, needed to keep the body well-nourished and in good health.

The second factor emphasizes the need to follow other healthy habits. Much as following a healthy vegan diet is giant step for achieving good health, the body needs other exercise and other healthy as well.

3.      Good for the planet
