VEGAN: A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH OF LIVING

-

 


A popular lifestyle trend in the society which is going viral is VEGANISM or VEGAN. Vegan are those population who does not consume animal products in any form; be it meat, dairy products, or any related items. A vegan diet is lactose-free and dairy-free and is healthier. The vegan population is growing rapidly worldwide. Vegan Inhabitants has drastically increased and has boosted with a rate of 600% per year.

Veganism is a lifestyle that comes with an ethical, sustainable, ecological sound regime. In surveys, it is found out that there are distinct reasons for opting for a vegan diet. In different countries and regions, the availability of food products and crops is different. In a few parts of the world due to low crop-yield or very few agricultural practices, people cannot really shift to a vegetarian or vegan diet. But except those others can consider being vegan once in their life.

Non-Vegetarians or Meat eaters often use this argument that due to nutrition value they consume meat or humans are omnivorous they should eat meat or animal products to fulfill their health requirements, which is just an excuse to escape from veganism.



So, let us discuss this in detail.

FIVE REASONS TO BECOME VEGAN:

Ethical reasons: Animals are living beings, they have equal rights as we have as a human on this planet, our superiority in terms of few additional powers does not challenge their Right TO LIVE. We literally slaughter animals just to satisfy our food demands, which is ethically wrong. What if somebody slaughters our pets for food or can we imagine doing this with other human beings. So, the whole concept is unethical, and we should rethink about it.

*those who think the meat industry is economically viable can these people also consider a terrorist groups and other such violent organizations as economically feasible; those people also, make a profit out of it.

Sustainable Approach: Vegan food is more sustainable as compared to the meat production process and animal farming. Vegan farming can save gallons of water. The meat industry is unsustainable in various aspects. The amount of capital wasted on meat production can be used to grow vegan crops to satisfy world food need.


Health Benefits: Vegan regimens are usually higher in dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, vitamins C and E, iron, and phytochemicals and they have a propensity to be lower in calories, saturated fat and cholesterol, long-chain n–3 (omega-3) fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and vitamin B-12 (8). In general, vegetarians typically enjoy a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), obesity, type 2 diabetes,

and some cancers (3). A vegan diet seems to be useful for increasing the intake of protective nutrients and phytochemicals and for minimizing the intake of dietary factors implicated in several chronic diseases (9). In a recent report (10), different plant food groups were rated with respect to their metabolic epidemiologic evidence for influencing chronic disease reduction. According to the evidence criteria of the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization (WHO/FAO), cancer risk reduction associated with a high intake of fruit and vegetables was assessed as probable or possible, risk of CVD reduction as convincing, whereas lower risk of osteoporosis was assessed as probable (10). The evidence for a risk-reducing effect of consuming whole grains was assessed as

possible for colorectal cancer and probable for type 2 diabetes and CVD. The evidence for a risk-reducing effect of consuming nuts was assessed as probable for CVD (10).

Try to consider a vegan diet for better health and innocent animals. Their life is as precious as ours. Go green for a better future. The world is going through a pandemic and the root source is the WET market of China. So, life would be better if people will go vegan.

The grasslands of China is a home for about 2000 species of wild animals and we can find economically and medicinally valuable plant species in that area in a large number, mainly ephedra sinica stapf, snow lotuse, liquorice, aweto, etc. 20,278 marine species were recorded in China so far, which is approximately 10% of world's total marine species. Beside the species richness in the country the level of species endemism is quite high. According to the reports, 35,000 higher plant species out of which 17,300 are endemic. Vertebrates 6,445 species and 667 species being endemic (China’s Fourth National Report on Implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Ministry of Environmental Protection November 2008).

The iconic specie of circumpolar Arctic regions which is known as Polar bears or URSUS MARITIMUS is come under the category of hypo carnivore mammals, considered to be largest land mammals and has become the first mammal species to face the 100% habitat destruction due to global warming. Climate change is the major rival into the lives of polar bears. Starvation, human inter reference and exploitation and global warming led the polar bears to the critical stage where the species have experienced alarming rate of population decline in various arctic regions specially in Canada. In the year 2005, strong voices have raised to protect the Polar bears and it became the big headline at that time in United States. In 1973, the Government of USA has added polar bears to the Endangered species list but with time the studies and reports have shown decline in population of bears So, the authorities have decided to add Polar bears to Threatened species list of ESA.
