Frequently Asked Questions About Veganism
If you are a vegan, different people probably ask you the same general questions. If you are not a vegan, then you probably have some basic questions for vegans about veganism. In this article, I will answer some basic questions that vegans often get asked.
What do you eat? Vegans are defined by what they do not eat, not by what they do eat. Basically, vegans eat anything that does not contain animal products. Like vegetarians, we do not eat meat, but we also do not eat other animal products such as milk and eggs. Some general foods that we do eat include grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables, beans, and any other non-animal products. And we can make countless dishes using countless recipes that use those foods as ingredients.
Why did you become a vegan? Obviously, each vegan has their own specific reasons for becoming vegan. However, the most common reasons include the environment, personal health, and empathy with animals. Concerning the environment, the production of animal products wastes resources such as land, energy and water because the farmer has to feed the livestock food that could have gone directly to humans. Many vegans also see their diet as healthier, namely because of the lower amounts of cholesterol, fat, and germs in non-animal products. And of course many vegans feel bad about slaughtering and mistreating animals, which they usually view as an inherent quality of farming livestock.
How do you get enough protein? Most natural foods have at least some protein, including most vegetables and grains. Nonetheless, some vegan foods have an especially high protein content, including beans and nuts, which by extension includes nut-based products such as peanut butter, soy milk, soy burgers, and so on and so forth.
Do you eat plants which are living creatures? Vegans eat many things that are alive; we just do not eat animals. Non-animal organisms are usually not considered sentient. People cannot empathize with plants. Vegans can and do empathize and sympathize with most animals.
Do you miss non-vegan foods such as meat, cheese, or ice cream? Overall, we obviously prefer to not eat animal products than to eat them. We may miss a specific pleasure we received from consuming animal products, but overall we believe the consequences outweigh the benefits. In other words, we get more total pleasure from not eating animal products than we get from eating them--otherwise we would choose to eat them.
I hope my answers to those questions prove to be helpful. If you are not a vegan, I hope you now understand veganism better, and I thank you for keeping an open mind. If you are a vegan, please share this article with people who ask you similar questions or who show an interest in veganism.
Whatever you do, good luck and have fun!

Antioxidants - Add a Lean, Muscular Body to the List of Benefits!
I�m sure by now you�ve heard all about the amazing health benefits of antioxidant rich foods in your diet. Not only do these free-radical fighting antioxidants help you look and feel younger by slowing down the aging process, but they also help to prevent cancer, heart disease, and loads of other degenerative diseases. But that�s not all. Antioxidants also help you to recover better from exercise...and that means more muscle and less fat on your body in the long run!
The function that antioxidants play in aiding your recovery from exercise is the inhibition of free radicals produced during exercise. Any time you workout, free radicals are produced in the body that damage muscle tissue. Having an adequate supply of antioxidants about an hour or so before your workout can greatly reduce the muscle damage caused by free radicals, hence, improving your muscular recovery from exercise.
Some of the most potent sources of whole food antioxidants are berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, cranberries), cherries, acai fruit, various teas (green tea, oolong tea, white tea, black tea, and red tea - a.k.a. rooibos tea), nuts, seeds, red and black beans, purple potatoes, grapes, red wine, cinnamon, and dark chocolate or cocoa. Don�t be fooled by all of the intense marketing for expensive antioxidant supplement pills...remember whole foods are always better for you (and cheaper) than a pill.
My favorite pre-workout antioxidant-loaded snack is a piece of whole grain toast with almond butter, a small amount of blackberry jam, and topped with a pile of fresh blueberries or sliced strawberries. I wash it down with a glass of iced green tea or rooibos tea sweetened with just a small bit (about a teaspoon) of raw honey. This is literally a quintuple-whammy of potent anti-oxidants! The almond butter, blackberry, blueberries, raw honey, and the green or rooibos tea are all loaded with different varieties of muscle protecting, youth promoting antioxidants. I throw down this snack about an hour before my training. Give it a try for yourself, or be creative and come up with your own antioxidant-rich pre-workout snack based on your tastes.
Remember, your body is continually bombarded every day by free radicals (creating oxidative stress) from exercise, air pollution, smoke, sun exposure, junk food, exposure to chemicals, etc. To reap the full benefits of antioxidants, try to make sure that every meal and snack you eat has at least one or two sources of antioxidant rich foods. This will give you a continuous supply of antioxidants throughout every day to prevent damage from the free radicals you are constantly exposed to.
Antioxidants are just one piece to the puzzle of a healthy diet that will give you the lean, muscular, youthful, and disease-free body that everyone wants.
