Going vegan can be a great opportunity to learn more about nutrition and cooking and improve your diet. You won’t be consuming saturated fat from meat, milk and eggs, and you’ll be avoiding processed meat, which the World Health Organization has classified as a cause of cancer. Eating a vegan diet allows the most room for health-promoting plant foods. Get the most out of yours by limiting salt and eating plenty of wholegrains, fruit, nuts, vegetables and legumes, such as kidney beans, chickpeas and red split lentils. These foods are packed full of beneficial fibre, vitamins and minerals.
