Stress Assessment

Veganism constitutes, more and more often, a nutritional option in western countries. Vegan diets are generally rich in many beneficial health nutrients such as dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium, vitamins C and E, folic acid, carotenoids, polyphenols and other phytochemicals.

CHOOSING A VEGAN DIET IS NOT JUST A VIABLE DIETARY OPTION, BUT IT CAN ALSO OFFER HEALTH BENEFITS

Nevertheless, as in any other nutritional option that excludes large food groups, strict adherence to a vegan diet has to be carefully controlled and, in some cases, supervised by a specialist, thus preventing the deficit of certain nutrients that are located mainly or exclusively in foods of animal origin.

order food at home, eat out, eat fried food, processed, precooked or industrial pastries, drinking alcohol or sugary drinks, consume little fish or plant-based foods, as well as eating sausages or meat on a regular basis... These are some of the habits with which you may feel identified in your day to day and are associated with a mismatch in the different types of fats that we obtain from the diet.

Fats are often associated with negative health effects. Nevertheless, not all are harmful, fulfilling vital functions for the proper functioning of our body. Knowing the type of fats we consume in our diet is essential to detect a possible imbalance, which is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, depression, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, among other diseases.
