To be healthy we must all make sure we are consuming the right balance of nutrients. The best diet is rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and seeds, eating as much variety as possible.

Very low B12 intakes can cause anaemia and nervous system damage. The only reliable vegan sources of B12 are B12 supplements or foods fortified with B12 (including some plant milks, some soy products and some breakfast cereals). Vitamin B12, whether in supplements, fortified foods, or animal products, comes from micro-organisms. Take your B12!

Moving to a plant based diet can mean discovering new and diverse ways of eating. The articles here will help you create delicious and nutritious vegan meals.
