A myth has spread throughout the world that vegetarian food is unhealthy as it lacks essential nutrients. However, this grape wine that most people now take for granted has no basis at all. And it is really amazing how something that is false becomes a truth of the gospel. But if we go back to our childhood days when we were studying in grade 1 or 2, we would come to know the fact of reality. The first lesson in the first grade science textbook was about vegetables and their nutritional value. It clearly stated how beneficial each vegetable is for good health.

The description above clearly shows that vegetables and fruits have many goodness, so how did this myth that is prevalent among people all over the world come about? Let the past be the past as you now have this black and white that vegetables and fruits are not lacking in nutrients and therefore you can convert your food preference to vegan food. Vegetarian food offers a complete diet that the human body needs. Vegetarian food consists of vitamins, minerals, proteins, calcium, folic acids and other important elements. Therefore, people who eat vegetarian food are more active and healthier than those who eat non-vegetarian food. In addition to having good physical health, a practitioner of veganism also has a calm mind. The other positive aspect of veganism is that you will not kill any birds or animals to satisfy your hunger and therefore the cycle of the food chain will not be affected. So the choice is yours if you want to live on foods that provide you with good health or on dozens of diseases like obesity and fat.
