How to Live a Healthy and Happy Vegan Lifestyle

Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart is a fan of Burgerfi’s Beyond Burgers and sees the world-changing potential of plant-based meat. Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart spoke about the world-changing potential of vegan meat in a recent interview with Fortune .  Speaking about the growth of the plant-based movement and the role of vegan meat in displacing animal products, Stewart said: “I think [vegan meat] has a lot of potential. I have been an investor in Beyond Meat, and I’ve been trying older products for several years now. For vegetarians, for people who like the idea of a hamburger but don’t like the idea of meat, it is such a nice answer.” Putting her beliefs into action, Stewart recently joined the board of directors of burger chain Burgerfi —which began serving the vegan Beyond Burger patty in 2017. “I have also been following the vegetarian, plant-based meat development, like the Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger,” Stewart said. “I care very much about meat production in the United Stat

   Here are some vegan snack ideas for lazy (or busy) people!

   Vegan diets eliminate all animal products, while plant-based diets do not necessarily eliminate animal products, but focus on eating mostly plants, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc.

  Annual campaign Veganuary amassed 582,000 participants in 2021 and the majority of them plan to drastically reduce their consumption of animal products moving forward. A majority (85 percent) of this year’s Veganuary participants plan to make permanent diet changes moving forward, according to an official survey conducted by the organization.  Founded in the United Kingdom in 2014, Veganuary challenges participants to go vegan throughout the month of January and beyond. In 2021, Veganuary counted 582,00 participants and surveyed a portion of them to ascertain their experiences with the campaign.  Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of participants were eating meat prior to taking the pledge and nearly two-thirds (61 percent) maintained a fully plant-based diet throughout January.  A majority of participants were women (85 percent) and between the ages of 25 and 54 (65 percent),  while 30 percent of participants indicated they planned to stay vegan after completing Veganuary, the new

Helen Armstrong says she feels '100% better' after switching to a whole food plant-based diet. When 76-year old Helen Armstrong’s daughter moved in with her during the coronavirus lockdown, neither of them could have known the impact it would have on her life. Armstrong, who lives in Doncaster, has suffered with many long-term chronic conditions – diabetes, arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, chronic constipation, and bipolar disorder – and was virtually bedbound when the order came for the vulnerable to be shielded. Just before lockdown, her daughter, 49-year-old Belinda White, was called to her mother’s house. Paramedics had already visited, and when White arrived, Armstrong was hanging off her chair, unresponsive. Together with her care givers White got her mother back into bed but by that evening, it was clear she needed more help. White called the paramedics back. They feared Armstrong may have sepsis or coronavirus and wanted to admit her but taking her to hospital wa

  A recent media blitz has raised concern about the shrinking of eggplant size in the males due to pollution but all of the news articles miss the main source of exposure and how to lower it.

    An acclaimed vegan doctor has called for 'more nuance in debating health literature' in his latest YouTube video titled 'Vegan Wars'. “There is a legitimate problem with making it sound like plants are the absolute answer to everything”  Dr. Garth Davis “Those problems are twofold. Number one for the patient. Because, if they think that they can avoid medical therapy just by eating plants, they could be avoiding a potentially very helpful thing to help live longer and alleviate symptoms.” Speaking to Plant Based News about the video, Dr. Greger replied: “I’m a big fan of Garth and his wonderful work. [It’s] nice to see someone try to cut through the grandstanding.”

  Europe and North America will hit ‘peak meat’ by the year 2025 – meaning the consumption of animal protein will begin to decline. A new report predicts the market for alternative proteins will grow to 97 million metric tons by 2035 – making up 11 percent of the overall protein market Food for Thought: The Protein Transformation says faster technological innovation and full regulatory support could boost growth to 22 percent of the market by 2035. At the latter’s rate, Europe and North America would reach ‘peak meat’ by 2025. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Blue Horizon Corporation (BHC) conducted the research.

In The Village Vegan Kitchen: Some very good looking Kale ready for the food de-hydrator. Kale chips tonight!   Kale is a northern British word for Brassica oleracea var acephala, which basically means cabbage without a head. During the Middle Ages kale was the go-to green leafy vegetable. It was easy to grow, fairly frost resistant and a healthy addition to any mealy gruel. At the end of the Middle Ages kale mutated to develop a "head" and so cabbages were born. Stone-walled kailyards can still be found in the Scottish highlands. In southern England kale was known as "cole" or "colewort". Colewort was transformed in the southern states of the US to "collard", as in "black-eyed peas and collard greens". In some circles, kale has become really, really popular. Once a little-known speciality crop, its meteoric rise is now the subject of national news segments . Some experts are predicting that kale salads will soon be on the m

by Michael Corthell We all know or should know that eating 'right' is the right thing to do for our bodies. If we combine good foods (the ones that are 'right' for us) with exercise, proper rest and learn to live life stress free, we will almost certainly live a happy, healthy life. ''The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.'' ― Thomas Edison What are the 'right' foods and how do we find them? In foods grown in healthy soil. According to Dr. Daphine Miller, on the farm. But not just any farm, it has to be good, dirty farm —rich soil: ''Thinking of a healthy body as an extension of a healthy farm, and vice versa, is a paradigm shift for many of us. But when we consider that all of our cells get their building blocks from plants and soil then, suddenly, it all makes sense. In fact, it is not too much of a stretch to say: We are so

by Michael Corthell Being healthy takes much more than eating an apple a day (to keep the doctor away). It has been shown that to have a healthy immune system requires a balanced diet, good daily rest, and living a positive life style. Knowing that we need to eat the right foods is common sense but the devil, as always, is in the details. What foods are best for us? Some of our nutritional needs are specific to the individual, because of a unique make-up and lifestyle, but there are commonalities. Want to eat right for a healthy life? Get the book that will set you on the right path: How Not to Die by Michael Greger, M.D. The immune system protects us from illness and disease. We can do many things to keep our immune system at it's best. Drink plenty of water. Hydration is important to every system in the body, and the immune system relies heavily on water (as a vehicle) in both in lymphatic system and blood vessels. Nutrition and exercise play a role in resisting
