Are you one of many who believes the myth about protein? Here's what you need to know!

September 07, 2017 / Heena Modi

The myth!

There has been a lot of focus on protein intake, which resulted in a lots of coverage saying that we needed to consume more. This hype about increasing how much protein we eat was aimed at everyone. Thus the ‘sporty’ folk were told that they needed to eat even more than everyone else. However, excessive protein can do a lot of damage, and people are now realising that the suggested intake was too high.

December 13, 2016 / Heena Modi

I am grateful to Brenda Davis who has worked with me to openly and accurately respond to common questions about shifting to a vegan diet.

A bit about Brenda: She is a registered dietitian, and she has been a featured speaker at international nutrition, medical and health conferences in over a dozen countries, and she has worked in different fields of nutrition.

Below, Brenda discusses why people go vegan and the benefits of making this shift. She also addresses some of the myths around vegan eating, and the things that we should keep an eye on.

Could veganism be the solution continued...

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.
