A Few Vegan Health Tips for Starting Vegans in this Time of Quarantine

 There’s a start to everything, from the beginning of a new hobby, like painting, to kicking a habit that’s been slowly ruining your life, like smoking. Beginning something new can often be challenging, even difficult, but with persistence, you can discard what’s holding you back and change yourself for the better.

A good number of people nowadays have shown interest in an all-green lifestyle (or at least an appreciation for vegan cuisine), and if you’ve taken the first step to going on a vegan diet, congratulations. With the current pandemic still ongoing around the world, it does well to keep yourself healthy, and a healthy lifestyle asks you to do more than just eat vegan food. Here’s a few tips that you can follow.

Stay Fresh and Reduce Those Meat Substitutes

You’ve probably heard of vegan turkey, vegan patties and other such non-meat or animal product dishes that you can eat while keeping vegan. However, while some of these dishes are alright to eat in small doses, as a starting vegan, it's much better if you avoid as much synthetic “vegan” food as possible.

Have you ever tried a vegan patty made of banana heart? Go for it! It’s better to find a healthy green alternative to a meat dish than to look for a heavily-modified non-meat version of it. It’s not what it doesn’t have, but what it should give you.

Have you Started Gardening Yet?

Gardening is one of the most calming and enriching hobbies that you can try out, especially with all the time you’re spending indoors due to the pandemic. Handling soil and tending to plant life has a visible and speedy effect on your wellbeing, enhancing your health in both mind and body. Plus, you can prepare easy vegan recipes with the plants that you’re taking care of.

We’re not suggesting that you start up a whole vegetable garden, mind you. If all you can handle is a single potted plant, that’s fine. What matters is that you’re cultivating green life and helping reduce the carbon monoxide in the air, helping the world in a small but significant way.
