Veganism as a diet is increasingly becoming popular amongst people every day as awareness about its benefits is at a rise. People are moving towards a sharp lifestyle change health is gaining priority besides a sustainable environment. This is exactly why World Vegan Day is observed on 1st November, every year. It celebrated the concept of veganism - an all-green diet that excludes dairy and animal products completely. Some vegans even go to the extent of opting for cruelty-free cosmetics and clothes, which aren’t made of animal fur or tested on animals. The lifestyle is all about relying on plants and plant products for all your needs. And this perhaps why there is a surge of vegan flours, sweeteners and even faux meats in the market. In fact, butters and milk which are plant-based have are also ruling the world of nutrition and health. I think this is great for vegans since this gives them more options to experiment in the kitchen. As per many vegans, the vegan lifestyle enhances human health, safeguards the well-being of animals, and also protects the environment. A vegan diet is also said to reduce the risks of many diseases and provide you with healthier alternatives to satiate your cravings.
