This page is all about nutrition, nutrients, food, and everything else having to do with healthy vegan living! Just because someone is vegan, does not necessarily mean they are healthy (though it does make it much easier) and you need to pay attention to what you're putting in your mouth!The healing powers of a vegan diet for multiple conditions are not undocumented. Many of our top killers, including heart disease and diabetes, can even be reversed through a vegan diet.
So remember, everyone, for your health, for the planet, and for the animals...vegan is the way.
