Could veganism be the solution continued...

November 15, 2016 / Heena Modi

I am grateful to Tiffany Damle for writing the second part of this article, in which she has shared going her journey from eating a lot of meat, to becoming vegan for the safety and protection of animals, for better health and the environment too. One choice, which led to a positive effect on so many things.

Along the way, Tiffany endured surprises, and confusion about why so much of the readily available information is inaccurate and misguiding! However, she worked her way through it and ended up experiencing the priceless benefits that she describes below.

Could veganism be the solution?

November 08, 2016 / Heena Modi

I am grateful to Tiffany Damle for writing this article, in which she talks about her journey from eating large amounts of meat, to becoming a vegan for the well-being of animals, as well as her own health. There were many surprises along the way, like confusion about why so much of the readily available information is inaccurate and misguiding to say the least! Tiffany worked her way through it and ended up experiencing priceless benefits.

Are you confused by the revelations of various studies? Understanding what is being compared can help a great deal!

April 01, 2016 / Heena Modi

But so many studies say that fish is good for you...

We've all been there. We hear one thing and we accept it because it makes sense. But then, we hear something that contradicts it and we're left confused. Some of us may end up giving up because we don't know what to believe in, others may put their faith in the wrong information, and some might do a bit of research to eliminate the conclusions that are partial or exaggerated.

Watch this short video to find out what Dr. Mehta has to say about comparison and context.

Dr. Mehta is on hand to help us work out which research is worthy of our attention!

March 18, 2016 / Heena Modi

Which studies should I believe?

There are so many studies being quoted all over the place! One recommends a certain level of drinking but another study negates it. There's some excitement about dairy being harmful, followed by statements that it isn't! How do we know what to believe? What should we embrace and strive towards?

Dr. Tushar Mehta describes the characteristics of a good study, to help us work out which studies we should ignore and which ones we should pay attention to.

As you know, I love telling you about all things vegan. When you read this article, I think you'll see why this company is special! Their motto is centred around being vegan, sustainable, ethical and rising above the superficial messages that are often expressed through fashion. I'll leave you with a these lovely words from True Icon "...we don’t believe you can use animal products and call a product ‘ethical’ or ‘sustainable’."

Jenny Quiroz has Crohn's disease and although it limited what she could do, and she suffered a lot with it before; she has dramatically pacified it. Guess how she did it? That's right! Through making changes in her diet!

She's been kind enough to share her story with us. After you've read this post, I hope you feel as inspired and full of hope as I do now.

Going vegan for health! A raw vegan diet resulted in Karen being free of Cancer!

November 06, 2014 / Heena Modi

What would you do to improve you health and quality of life?

We all have desires and our motivation, drive and willingness to meet those wants will vary. In the same way, there are a variety of reasons that encourage individuals to make the shift to a vegan diet.

Some people don't mind feeling unwell or they aren't motivated enough to put things in place to feel healthier. Would this change if you were diagnosed with a disease like Cancer?

What happens when your family doesn't want to go vegan but you do?

January 28, 2014 / Heena

This post begins with a description of what happened when my husband told me he didn't want to follow a vegan diet any more. After this, I share how I reacted to his choice, how it caused uncertainty within the wider family and, the most important part; the solution, which freed me from negativity.

In the second half, you'll find suggestions about what to do if your partner doesn't have the same diet or lifestyle choice as you. This section also takes in account, your reasons for following a vegan diet.
