From our vegan restaurant Malaga We are aware that the number of people following a vegan diet has increased considerably in recent years.
The inclusion of vegan products in shops, supermarkets and restaurants has made it more accessible to everyone. We are increasingly aware of the importance of eating a healthy diet. Therefore, the vegan diet contributes healthy nutrients such as vitamins and fibre, as well as being low in saturated fats and cholesterol. If you haven't tried this type of diet yet, at our tapas bar we have a vegan daily menu.
What is a vegan diet?
The vegan diet consists of completely omitting animal products (meat and fish), as well as animal derivatives such as eggs, cheese, and milk. Therefore, a vegan diet includes vegetables, mushrooms, pulses, fruits, cereals, nuts, and plant-derived products such as tofu, almond milk, or soya milk.
What are the nutritional benefits of the vegan diet?
-Lower fat and cholesterol intake. By omitting meat or cheese from the diet, we consume fewer saturated fats and cholesterol levels tend to be lower.
-Higher intake of fibre and vitamin C. Vegetables, pulses and fruit normally tend to contain high amounts of fibre.
Is it possible to get all the nutrients the body needs?
It is possible if planned. The vegan diet can contain a lower nutritional value than another diet that allows milk and meat. Above all, if you have stopped eating products of animal origin, it is important to replace them.
One of the main nutrients the body gets from meat is protein. That is why we must make sure we get enough plant-based protein, such as pulses, nuts and soya.
