The Benefits And Advantages Of Moving Towards A vegan diet
Leading a healthy life is very important and that is the main objective of each and every one of us. There are many factors that go in making a person hale and healthy and food plays a very important role. We come from different types of societies and our cultures are different. In keeping with our cultures and traditions our food habits are also quite different and it varies from person to person, region to region and country to country. While there are many food habits, according to some people sticking on to a vegan raw diet is considered as a very important part of what is called a healthy food. As we have progressed economically and technologically our food habits have also changed significantly.
We have today split into nuclear families and the concept of joint family which was quite relevant in some Asian countries is no longer practical. Today we have families where both husbands and wives together have become bread winners and hence it has now become a regular habit to go in for readymade food or instant food as it is commonly known. These foods are generally are processed in nature and therefore have a number of preservatives that are used. Additionally there are rich in saturated fatty acids which lead to people putting on weight and developing cholesterol which start accumulating in the arteries. This causes a number of health problems like hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, renal failure, liver disorders and the like. Hence, many people have started understanding the importance of vegan raw diet and have started moving towards it.
Before we understand the features and benefits of these raw diets we should understand what exactly is a vegan raw diet? This is a diet that essentially consists of raw fruits and vegetables and various types of nuts, vegetables, grain products and fruits fall under this category. To put it simply, these food items are not cooked and are eaten raw. The first requirement for becoming a person who wants to survive on raw diet, you should refrain from eating any meat products, fish, dairy products, eggs and all types of fish. This sounds extremely interesting but in real life it could be a challenging change to your lifestyle. These foods are extremely rich in vitamins and minerals, but the question that comes in the minds of many people is whether they provide our body with the required amounts of proteins. Some vegetables are good rich in carbohydrates and hence this problem can also be solved. But the problem remains with only proteins. It is difficult to find many fruits, vegetables that are rich in proteins. In such a situation you may have to go in for soy protein and start depending on food items like tofu. However, it could be very difficult to adjust to this type of diet pattern in the beginning.
But there are some inherent advantages with these types of vegan raw diet. First and foremost they provide the body with the right kind of minerals and vitamins which may get lost because of the process of cooking. Secondly, since most of the fruits come in a predigested stage it does not put unnecessary strain and stress on the digestive system. They are considered to be the ideal healthy food because of the fact that they are not very rich in saturated fatty acids and hence the risk of cholesterol building and fat accumulation is reduced to almost zero. These kinds of vegan raw diet habits help to keep our body and mind trim and alert and if we are able to follow it on a long term basis we could avoid all problems of obesity and lead a normal and disease free life.
However critics are of the view that vegan raw diet is difficult to sustain over long period of time because of the fact that they do not pamper the taste buds enough and the absence of oil as a cooking medium is something that may not interest many people. They also have doubts whether these kinds of food habits would be able to provide the right kind of calcium and other minerals which food items like milk and fish can provided. But there are some alternative fruits and vegetables which have these vital nutrients in plenty. This calls for a bit of information gathering and could take some time and efforts. However, the fact of the matter remains that this is indeed a very healthy food habit and if one does a careful SWOT analysis they will surely find out that the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. The only thing required to succeed in this vegan raw diet is a bit of determination and commitment during the initial stages. Once the body gets adjusted to the diet pattern, then it would be difficult for you to move out from this diet.

Vegan Glucosamine 90 Tab: HF $9.89 DEVA™ Nutrition introduces corn-derived, 100% vegan glucosamine. All ingredients used in DEVA Glucosamine are plant and mineral-based. Most other glucosamine products on the market today are produced from animal sources; mainly from the outer skeletons of shellfish, which may cause allergic reactions in those with shellfish allergies, or a possible worsening of asthma symptoms.1 The body produces glucosamine naturally, and is necessary for normal joint health. Glucosamine is required by the body to build and maintain healthy tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.2 Osteoarthritis, a chronic disease that effects joints (especially the knees), can cause disability, most often in the elderly. There is a progressive loss of cartilage, along with bone deposits within the joint, which leads to stiffness and pain.3 The GAIT Trial (Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial), conducted by the National Institutes of Health, concluded that glucosamine may prevent the development of osteoarthritis or slow down its’ progression, and may help decrease joint pain.4 Medical treatment, which includes the use of dietary supplements such as glucosamine, may be as beneficial as arthroscopic surgery and physical therapy in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, according to another study.5 Studies are also being conducted to explore the use of glucosamine in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases,6 diabetes.7 The use of DEVA Glucosamine as a dietary supplement is safe; adverse effects are uncommon, and there are no reported significant drug interactions. However, people who take medications for diabetes, or blood thinners such as Coumadin, need to be cautious when taking glucosamine8; and women who are pregnant or nursing should not take glucosamine9. Our Vegan Glucosamine is perfect for senior citizens, weekend athletes, or anyone seeking additional nutritional support for cartilage and joints. DEVA Glucosamine is perfect for vegans, vegetarians or people with shellfish allergies who would also like to benefit from glucosamine. In order to provide peace-of-mind to our consumers, our products have been certified as 100% Vegan by the non-profit Vegan Society. This non-profit organization, which first coined the phrase "vegan," has a strict and detailed process for registering vegan products. |

Vegan Astaxanthin 30 Sgel: HF $11.69 Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants yet discovered. Astaxanthin is one of a group of natural pigments known as carotenoids. In nature, carotenoids are produced principally by plants and their microscopic relatives. Animals cannot synthesize carotenoids and thus all natural carotenoids are first made in plants.As an antioxidant, astaxanthin has been shown to be up to 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E and more than 10 times as potent as beta-carotene. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin was shown in ORAC testing to be 5 times more potent than Lutein.* A variety of human clinical studies have shown significant health benefits from astaxanthin. Because astaxanthin freely crosses the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers, astaxanthin can readily neutralize free-radicals and other reactive species in the eye and nervous system. Protection of the eye and brain tissue from oxidative stress could potentially provide valuable support for both eye and brain health. Astaxanthin was also found to be a powerful modulator on the immune function in a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind human study. Likewise, when looking at the protective effects of UV light on cells, astaxanthin was found to be 1000 times more effective than both beta carotene and lutein. Astaxanthin was also found to have excellent benefits for the cardiovascular system. By inducing enzymes that metabolize foreign compounds, astaxanthin helps the body to naturally "detoxify." One of the most remarkable recent discoveries found that astaxanthin significantly reduced the amount of DNA damage found in humans.* Astaxanthin used in this product is natural (not synthetic) and is manufactured from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis grown in closed culture using ultra-pure water.*Our Vegan Astaxanthin has 4 mg of pure astaxanthin per softgel, which is many times stronger than many other astaxanthin products sold on the market. DEVA Vegan Astaxanthin is 100% animal free, and guaranteed for purity, freshness and labeled potency. Remember all DEVA Products are 100% vegan, vegetarian and are certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word "vegan". |
