4 Health Benefits of a Vegan Diet

It can be confusing to choose an eating plan, because you will find quite a bit of conflicting information about different lifestyles. If you want to choose a eating style that supports your overall health, then you should consider a vegan diet. A plant-based diet is back by numerous research studies which show that there are many health benefits that can be gained. Here are a few common health benefits from a vegan diet:

·         Reduced Risk of Heart Disease: The antioxidants and fiber in plant foods are associated with improving cardiovascular health. It has been found that people who eat less meat and more vegetables are more likely to have lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and a lower risk of heart attack and stroke.

·         Reduced Risk of Cancer: If you are looking for a way to reduce the risk of cancer, then vegetables and whole grains are the way to go. "The China Study" was a large research study that found a direct correlation between animal protein consumption and cancer.

·         Stronger Bones: Even though milk is commonly associated as a food that is good for bone health, the truth is that increased milk consumption is directly associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. Instead of milk, increase your consumption of leafy greens for a healthier source of calcium.

·         Weight Loss: Many people who follow a healthy, vegan diet can quickly lose weight. If you want to lose weight, make sure you are eating natural ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables.

If you are following a vegan diet, you don't need to give up the foods that you love! Here at Premium Chocolatiers, we make vegan chocolate that tastes just as good as regular chocolate. Visit our website to learn more about the vegan desserts that are available for you!

Allergy-Free Side Dishes and Desserts for Your Thanksgiving Feast

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, and it is a great time to share a meal to celebrate with your family and friends. Some people assume that they will miss out on some of the delicious food options because of their food allergies. But, just because you have a food allergy doesn't mean that you should be left out during a holiday dinner with your family.

Thanksgiving Side Dishes and Dessert Ideas

Whether you are hosting the party or attending another party, you can plan at least 1 or 2 side dishes or desserts so that you can have the peace of mind to know that you will have allergy-free food to eat.

Here are a few allergy-free side dish and dessert options to consider:

·         Sweet potatoes or yams, using olive oil instead of butter and skipping the marshmallows

·         Stuffing, using gluten-free bread instead of regular bread

·         Cranberry sauce, skipping any nuts in the ingredient list

·         Roasted Brussels sprouts, with olive oil and natural spices for flavor

·         Gravy made with brown rice flour for thickening and olive oil instead of butter

·         Pumpkin pie, made with a gluten-free crust and coconut milk instead of dairy products

·         Chocolate covered strawberries (using allergy-free chocolate)
