Vegans do not consume foods or products that come from animals. Among other things, they do not eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy but at the same time they do not wear leather, silk and wool because these are also animal products. Keeping track of all this can still be quite a task and sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees. There are also quite a few products that at first glance appear to be vegan, but are not when you delve into the ingredients and their origins. We have researched 10 of these foods for you and highlighted them in more detail below so that in the future you will know which products are better to leave out if you are vegan.
In your gut live trillions of bacteria. Together, they weigh as much as 1.5 kilograms! This is also called the gut microbiome or gut flora. The gut microbiome consists of 400-500 different types of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeasts) whose composition is as unique as a fingerprint. The composition is partly in your control, especially through what you eat and have a big impact on how you feel. They also keep your intestinal wall healthy and have a great influence on your immune system. How you can have a positive influence on this will be further explained in this blog.
When the leaves begin to fall from the trees again, it is wise to pay extra attention to your immune system to keep out invaders and prevent a winter dip. After all, it is not for nothing to get the flu shot during this period. Paying extra attention to certain vitamins and minerals (in addition to, of course, getting enough sleep and minimizing stress) will ensure that you stay fit during the dark days. This blog highlights a number of nutrients that help prevent that pesky runny nose and overall lower resistance.
Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, and are the building blocks of optimal health. Because our bodies only need small amounts of each nutrient, amounts are often represented as milligrams and micrograms. Vitamins, such as vitamins A, C, D and E, play a vital role in strengthening our immune system, promoting healthy skin and supporting our senses. Minerals, including calcium, magnesium and iron, are essential for building strong bones, regulating heart rate and blood pressure, and promoting muscle function.
Except for vitamin D and vitamin K, our bodies cannot produce vitamins and minerals on their own. Therefore, it is essential to make sure we get enough of these nutrients through a healthy diet.
While BMI is a simple measure of body weight, it can be inaccurate for people with a lot of muscle mass.

All the foods you eat contain nutrients that are important to your body. These nutrients can be divided into macronutrients and micronutrients. The micronutrients are vitamins and minerals; of these, you only need a few micrograms or milligrams daily. Macronutrients (macro means “large”) you need in a much larger amount, namely tens to hundreds of grams per day. Because macronutrients make up such a large part of your diet, in this blog you’ll read all about exactly what macronutrients are, what types we know and why they are important.
