vitaminc

Many people think that eating solely plant based food is not healthy and are still convinced that meat, dairy, fish and eggs are necessary part of our diet. Often when they learn that somebody is vegan; the immediate reaction is to question how on earth they get their nutrients from plants. Infact eating varied diet containing plenty of fruites, vegetables, nuts and seeds and wholegrains, it is extremly easy  to get all the nutrients we reqired and more goodness besides with added bonus that plant based food contains no saturated animal fats, no cholestrol and none of acidifying effects of animal derived food. It is very easy to get equal, and often better sources of all vitamins, minerals and proteins; that are found in animal derived products, from plant based food.
