World over, taking to veganism is becoming a voluntary choice, mainly for gaining health, encouraging non-violence and enhancing Spiritualism. A Vegan typically avoids all animal products from his or her diet, which includes dairy. Whereas taking cow’s milk and dairy products have been much endorsed in ancient Ayurveda text, but in Modern times due to unavailability of pure organic cow’s milk, this makes the option of taking to Veganism all the more favourable. Studies indicate that our body itself has the capacity to build 11 of the 20 essential amino acids required by us, and the remaining 9 can be simply sourced from various food products, not necessarily non-veg. While we are on a well-balanced vegan diet which is plant-based and includes whole-food grains, our body still continues to receive a perfect balance of carbohydrates, fats, all the essential proteins and nutrients. For preparing a vegan meal, Ayurveda suggests simple and healthy cooking methods such as steaming vegetables, soaking and sprouting beans and lentils, consuming more of green leafy salads and rinsing grains, fruits and vegetables well before cooking or consuming.
