Responsible consumption

By Eva Henderson, Lic.In nutrition

"While we celebrate the fact that there are more and more vegan foods in the market, it is necessary to clarify that many times these products are not healthy.The reason is that they contain a long list of ingredients such as preservatives, flavorings, binders, thickeners and a lot of these additives ending before, which are far from being natural.These are ultraprocessed, which have been associated with chronic non -transmissible diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight and obesity, cardiovascular disease, etc..For this reason, it is important that you choose your food as nature itself offers us, those that you can find in the greengrocer, at a neighborhood or market fair and that you are themselves who process them at home.

Our consumption decisions directly impact our health and also on the environment, we are a whole with animals, earth, water and air.Taking awareness and leaving the supermarket and large chains, learning to buy in smaller circuits and direct commerce, betting on fair trade and agroecology is another step in care for ourselves and towards the planet.

It's simple.A balanced vegan should contain half of the vegetable dish, a protein portion (legumes or derivatives) and a portion of cereals and seeds, and varying between the different sources.We can also include a small amount of extra virgin olive oil, which is the most recommended for vegan diet.We must also ensure the contribution of vitamin B12 with the consumption of specific supplements ".
