Health Is Wealth

Beginning the journey to a vegan lifestyle can sometimes be very overwhelming especially if you know nothing about it. But the reality is that you have to start off with the basics and take it step by step because you do not want to malnourish yourself. To start off, it is very important to buy the necessary foods. For example, some of my favorites are sweet potatoes (or potatoes in general), rice, beans, pasta's, fruit, vegetables as they range in variety.


What's great is that most of these foods won't cost you a fortune and are great for your over all well-being. Of course, there are also unhealthy vegan junk food that can sometimes be relatively healthier than other options. Having the basic foods is a great way of eating because you will be getting all the necessary proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins your body needs. And you can eat as much of it as you want and will make you feel great afterwords.

Many people believe that a plant based lifestyle is expensive but it really is not. Being vegan does not mean you have to shop at expensive grocery stores such as Whole Foods, of course, they do sell produce and foods more on the organic side and have vegan foods that are amazing but it does not mean that is the only place you can buy your foods. Try your local grocery store and you can be surprise on the amazing things you will find. Also, local farmers market in your community are a great way to find fresh produce and vegan food!

The vegnism lifestyle is an amazing and incredible journey. You will begin becoming more aware on the animals, planet, meat/ dairy industry and yourself. Enjoy and eat all the delicious vegan foods !
