Over the last few years, Veganuary has become incredibly popular since its discovery. Veganuary is a campaign which was created to encourage people to be vegan throughout January.
January is commonly the time when people decide to create New Year’s resolutions to improve their general health and well-lbeing. This is a really great way of exploring healthy food choices with your patient and also seeing what it’s like for yourself!
Making the switch to a vegan diet can be a big change and commitment for a lot of people and it can be an intimidating switch for your patient, but even if you follow a vegan diet for a short period of time, it can bring some great health benefits.
Some of these benefits are
Can Boost Your Patient’s Mood and Motivation
Studies have shown that a well-planned vegan diet that is followed by healthy eating guidelines can improve your mood and motivation levels. This is great for patients that want to be more active and improve their mental health. Other research has discovered that certain vegan diets have resulted in lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Improvement in complexion
When it comes to complexion concerns, dairy is a known problem. If you’re looking for dairy alternatives for your patient, there are lots of new alternatives to choose from across supermarkets. Vegan-based diets are also packed with fruits and vegetables as they are full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants which are great for improving your patient’s complexion as well as their internal health.
Better Sleep Health
Did you know that the foods we eat can positively or negatively affect how we sleep? If your patient follows a nutritional plant-based diet, they are more likely to get a good night’s sleep. This is because their meals are mostly made up of vegetables and soya-proteins which are all generally easier to digest than non-vegan foods.
Environmentally Friendly
Besides the improvement in humans, a plant-based diet is so much better for the planet than a non-vegan diet as it requires less farmland and energy.
