What You Need To Know About Going Vegan

Just gone vegan? – Here is what you need to know

If you have made the decision to go vegan then you already know the numerous benefits.

No diet can guarantee a longer and healthy life, however leading a vegan diet that eliminates a number of unhealthy foods like cured/red meat or sugary snacks and instead eat more vegetables and fruits can improve your odds. The following are just some of the health benefits associated with a vegan diet

  • Reducing obesity- several studies show that a plant based diet can help shed excess weight.
  • It is also linked to lowering risks of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels.
  • Can help control type 2 diabetes
  • Help with hypertension- high blood pressure

Some people first decide to go on a vegetarian diet and then move onto veganism either in one step or by cutting out dairy and eggs one at a time.

  • Begin incorporating more whole grain, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and tofu into your diet. Familiarise yourself with their preparation, storage, and uses.
  • Take B12 supplements
  • Start collecting and experimenting with vegan recipes that appeal to you.
  • Find a few different quick and easy vegan meals that you enjoy and get comfortable preparing them.
  • Switch out milk for a non-dairy alternative such as almond or soy. This is an easy switch for most people but there's a lot of options, so experiment to find which you like best.

Feelings new vegans may experience could be constantly feeling hungry and never feel satisfied with their food options. However, try to eat more filling, rich in fibre foods which if combined with creamy sauce and complex carbs to feel fuller for longer.

A vegan diet consist of many lower calorie foods, therefore it is not uncommon for new vegans to unintentionally eat too few calories and feeling fatigue. Try to track your food intake and incorporate high calorie food options.

Eating out can cause issues sometimes, it is always advised to research prior to going out, but due to the increase in demand most restaurants now can provide a vegan menu. When going to a friend or family’s place then always try to take something with you just in case they have nothing available.

You might miss some of your favourite meals but you can always swap certain ingredients in your favourite recipes and still have them so you don’t feel as if you are missing out on your favourite dishes prior to the transition.

The benefits of Snack Packs for Parents

The benefits of Snack Packs for Parents

Parents can find it really hard sometimes to implement a healthy snacking habit for themselves and their children and what works for toddlers might not work for pre-teens or teenagers.

Healthy snacks are an essential part of a growing child’s diet and helping children understand and providing them with a healthy relationship with food overall can contribute to your child’s emotional and physical well-being, which in turn lowers their anxiety levels, boosts their mood and lowers their emotional distress.

When the selection is left up to children, they often choose sweets and less healthy snack options. During the week children should have a midmorning and a mid-afternoon snack at school. Fruit, nuts, dried fruit and muesli bars are some great options but sometimes children, especially older age groups, like teenagers wish to have crisps, chocolates, popcorn, sweets and in the past this was a tricky balance to strike but with Snack Packs our snacks are a healthier treat option in comparison to the traditional high calorie snacks that most of our children’s and adults are accustomed to. You do not have to follow a vegan or gluten free diet in order to enjoy our snacks.

Even by making these small changes in your snacking habits you can start noticing a difference in your child’s behaviour. Who doesn’t like to have the occasional treat knowing that it is not bad for you or your family.

A healthier diet is known to increase a child’s focus in classrooms, which helps them remember vital information as well as retaining what they have learnt therefore helping in achieving better test results.
