Veganism is a way of living rather than a diet. Vegans exclude all exploitation of and cruelty to animals for food, clothing, or other purposes. This means no meat, fish, dairy, or eggs.Express.co.ukchats to Tea Advisory Panel nutritionist, Dr Emma Derbyshire, to find out whether you should go vegan.

Many people decide to go vegan for environmental benefits, but there are also benefits on the physical side.

Dr Emma Derbyshire said: Clearly, the benefits of going vegan can be very personal.

Increasing concerns about animal welfare and the carbon footprint of foods that we eat are now major drivers behind veganism.

In terms of specific benefits, the potential to help regulate bodyweight is one benefit.

Vegan and vegetarian diets are also higher in fibre, so they help promote a diverse ecosystem of healthy bacteria, helping to support both human gut microbiome and overall health.

Being vegan is a personal choice, however, and there is no right or wrong decision.

You can be a healthy vegan or an unhealthy vegan, depending on what you consume.

Dr Derbyshire said: Vegans should follow healthy eating guidelines which include at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and keep fully hydrated.

Meals should be based on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, opting for wholegrain if possible and include some dairy alternatives, such as soya drinks and yoghurts.

A variety of plant-based protein sources should be eaten and plenty of fluid consumed throughout the day ideally drinking 6-8 cups or glasses which does not need to be just water.

Drinking herbal, plant-based teas, like Rooibos, can contribute to fluid intakes and research has found they are just as hydrating.

A new study on Rooibos also found evidence for cholesterol reduction, blood glucose control, bone health, memory function, sperm viability, immune balance, anti-inflammatory effects plus anti-allergy effects.

You should try to get as many vitamins as possible from your diet, but you may need a little help from tablets.

Dr Derbyshire said: Vegans have been reported to have lower intakes of certain nutrients including vitamin B12, calcium and vitamin D.

Iron and omega-3 fatty acid intakes should also be monitored.

There are also concerns that shifts away from animal-derived proteins which currently are a main providers of dietary choline could impact on intakes and body status of this nutrient.

If these nutrients cant be supplied from food sources, this is when supplements would be warranted that are suitable for vegans.

Standard guidance for vitamin D is that we should consider taking 10 micrograms a day to keep bones and muscles healthy.

She also said: "Take an all-round multivitamin/mineral supplement. Ensure it contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

"Vegans have been reported to have lower intakes of certain nutrients including vitamin B12, calcium and vitamin D.

" Iron and zinc have a low bioavailability from diets devoid of animal foods. Iodine intakes may also be poor."

While veganism came about as a way of life to protect animals rather than a diet, it has become a diet people stick to when they want to lose weight.

Dr Derbyshire said that opting for a plant-based diet could help you lose weight.

She explained: There is some evidence that plant-based diets could help to reduce body fat in adults who are obese or overweight, and increasingly, there is interest in using vegan diets to help manage the acceleration of overweight and obesity.

Also, emerging research recently published looking at the link between adopting plant-based diets and weight loss found three factors that could be the reason behind the relationship of vegan diets and weight loss.

The first is the reduction of caloric density, the second is improved gut microbiota symbiosis and the third is improved insulin sensitivity.

She said that other work has found that vegan diets are linked to significantly greater weight loss when compared with other diets, such as traditional cholesterol diet habits.

Dr Derbyshire added: It is highly likely that the fibre profile of plant-based foods is responsible for some of these effects.

That said, you can purchase refined, unhealthful vegans foods, high in calories, sugars and saturated fat just as you can if you are not vegan.

So, its very much about making the right choices, monitoring portion sizes and eating a variety of wholesome foods.

Veganism benefits: Should I go vegan? Will I lose weight from being vegan? - Express

In Japan, vegan-friendly options are still in minority. However, recently you can see more vegan products in convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, etc.

Tokyo, especially, has quite a few vegan options of sweets, snacks, and meals available. At the Tokyo stations, you can even find plenty of souvenirs that are Vegan, gluten-free, and so on.

Unfortunately, the word vegan is not that well understood by many Japanese and there are many that confuse vegans with vegetarians.

Ive also seen products where it would be written vegan, but if you look at the ingredients, youd see honey or dairy products were used in the process of making it.

Here, I will introduce you a few of my favorite sweets and snacks that are vegan/plant-based and will also tell you where you can get them:

Organic Sweet Potato Sticks(Yuki Saibai no Hoshiimo Stikku/) from Natural Lawson

The sweet potato sticks from Natural Lawson can be also found in a small corner of a normal Lawson convenience store. Actually, in Natural Lawson you can find a few vegan snacks and sweets along with many healthy and organic products, that being the reason why I love it so much.

Morinaga Macrobiha()

The Macrobiha biscuits can be found in many places including supermarkets and drug stores and have quite a few flavors to choose from.

My favorites are the nuts and cacao ones that use oat flakes, rapeseed oil, cocoa powder, nuts, beet sugar, and flour.

I always have them between meals and when I crave for something sweet or need a bit more energy to get me through the day.

They are also a perfect match for the coffee, so I recommend trying it.

Konnyaku Jelly

The Konjac Jelly from Mannan Life is super delicious and light, also low in calories and with numerous flavors to choose from. I recommend the pink grapefruit ones and the grape ones.

It is a good snack for summer and you dont have to worry about your diet, either as for 25 grams it only has 25 kcal!

SoyJoy Crispy

SoyJoy protein bars can be found everywhere including supermarkets, convenience stores, and drugstores. They are very filling and come in many flavors.

Also, make sure that on the package it is written crispy as the regular SOYJOY is not vegan.

The company has affirmed that bone char process was, however, used in whitening the sugar.

Edamame

Sometimes, going for simple snacks is the safest and best way to vegans. Between the simple vegan choices, you have dry fruits, fruits, seeds, nuts, chestnuts, and edamame.

I love eating edamame and is also quite a cheap option. You can buy frozen edamame or fresh edamame for about 200 yen and they have it everywhere in Japan.

Depending on the grammage, you can even find it cheaper for just 100 yen (at the 100-yen Lawson, for example).

Potato Chips

I love buying the potato chips from Natural Lawson, but you can find potato chips that are vegan in all supermarkets in Japan. I like the nori flavors the best, but also like buying the simple ones with salt or salt and pepper only.

You can find ume (pickled plum) flavor or other unique flavors, as well, so in Japan, youll have a lot of varieties to choose from when it comes to potato chips.

Beet Chips fromIherb

Iherb has a lot of vegan and gluten-free products, so I love ordering from there.

The Beet Chips are one of the snacks I really enjoy eating and they also have quite a few vegan cookies and veggies chips available.

Rice Brown Cakes from Kaldi

The international shops, such as Kaldi or Jupiter have a variety of snacks that are plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free and one of those is the rice brown cakes with either chia and quinoa or 7 super seeds.

They are super crispy and you can also eat it with some hummus or guacamole on top. It is delicious!

In Kaldi, you can also find vegan chocolate, vegan wine, vegan gummies, gluten-free and vegan bread, nachos, etc.

Here are my best recommendations for vegan and plant-based snacks and sweets in Japan.

If you want to be sure its vegan, I recommend going for Iherb or international shops and if you are looking for a vegan restaurant, you can always check out the HappyCow application.

Vegan Tofu Kebabs With Veggies and Peanut Sauce - LIVEKINDLY

I heard about Ninas vegan butter via Instagram Stories, a truly 21st-century version of a recipe swap.

Molly Oberstein-Allen, who lives in Kansas City but has ties to Austin, posted several months ago that she had made an out-of-this-world coconut oil-based butter substitute that was relatively well-known in vegan circles online.

The recipe originated from a Danish blogger named Nina, who first wrote about her discovery in 2015. The Washington Post republished the recipe later that year in a story about using aquafaba, the thick water left over when you cook chickpeas and other legumes.

Ninas technique called for mixing the chickpea water with an acid and salt and then emulsifying with oil. Simple enough, right?

This recipe is similar to vegan mayonnaise made with oil blended into aquafaba, but the apple cider vinegar, salt and coconut oil transform the ingredients into a slightly firmer but still spreadable fat thats perfect for toast, open-faced sandwiches or even baking.

I cooked up a batch of chickpeas last week to make hummus and held onto the cooking water specifically to try this butter. We also had some extra heavy cream in the fridge that needed using, so I set up a butter experiment. How would Ninas vegan butter hold up to fresh butter made from heavy cream?

While I made the vegan butter in a food processor, my boyfriend, Frank, used his glass butter churner hes a modern-day homesteader who has things like a glass butter churner in his kitchen to make the real thing. We chilled both overnight and had them with toast for breakfast the following day.

The results were surprising: The vegan butter, thanks to the vinegar, salt and coconut oil, was bursting with flavor, while the homemade butter fell flat and tasted, at best, neutral on the bread.

Because its summer, the homemade butter held up better on the table after an hour out of the fridge the vegan butter melts quickly in this heat but there was no comparison on the flavor.

We usually eat store-bought salted butter, but I liked this vegan butter even better. It wasnt too difficult to make, especially when I already had the food processor on the counter to make the hummus and the aquafaba from the just-cooked chickpeas.

One last note: Because we eat with our eyes first, I decided to add a hint of color to the vegan butter by using a few drops of yellow food coloring, but you could also use a pinch of turmeric powder. A yellowish, almost orange oil, such as canola, will also give the spread a slight hue.

If youre looking for more recipes like this, Ninas website, plantepusherne.dk, also has recipes for dishes such as almond milk sour cream, dandelion tea honey and plant milk-based feta cheese. Its a great resource if youre transitioning away from animal products but dont want to rely on store-bought versions of your favorite kitchen staples.

What are you cooking these days? This story is part of an ongoing series called Austin360Cooks, where we share recipes and cooking ideas from everyday Austinites. You can share your discoveries online by using #Austin360Cooks or email abroyles@statesman.com.

Nina's Vegan Aquafaba Butter

Aquafaba, or bean water, is what helps this vegan butter substitute hold together. You can use the water from a can of beans or from home-cooked beans, but make sure the liquid has cooled before you make the butter. Unrefined coconut oil makes a softer spread, but refined coconut oil is fine.

Addie Broyles

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut oil

4 teaspoons canola oil or olive oil

3 tablespoons aquafaba (chickpea water)

2/3 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or freshly squeezed lemon juice or 1/8 teaspoons lactic acid)

1/3 teaspoon salt

If the coconut oil isnt liquid, melt over low heat and then let cool. Mix with canola or olive oil and set aside.

Place the aquafaba in a food processor or a narrow container that will fit an immersion blender. Add the vinegar or lemon juice and salt.

With the blender running, slowly drizzle the oil mixture in, making sure that the oil is incorporated before adding more. It should take a few minutes to add all the oil, so go slowly. Store it in the fridge, especially during the summer months.

New vegan film Theyre Trying to Kill Us is currently in production with a timely narrative that explores the intersections of diet, poverty, and systemic racism. The film (previously titled Hungry for Justice) is a collaboration between John Lewisthe Black vegan activist behind media brand Bad Ass Vegan, fitness expert, and partner at vegan protein company VeganSmartand director Keegan Kuhn, who co-directed popular vegan documentaries What The Health and Cowspiracy. The film will explore the profitable systems set up to keep Black Americans disproportionately affected by chronic illness by highlighting themes related to food deserts, links between poor nutrition and the pharmaceutical industry, and environmental racism, all through the lens of hip-hop culture.

Lewis and Kuhn have been working on Theyre Trying to Kill Us for more than four years, researching and collecting data, filming, and interviewing more than 100 people, including music legends such as Ne-Yo, Ma, Raury, and members of Wu-Tang Clan and Public Enemy, along with vegan doctors, attorneys, and social-justice activists. We are connecting the dots between diet, disease, systemic racism, government, and industry collusion, and the power of art and artists to transform the world, Lewis said.

Theyre Trying To Kill Us (Indiegogo Campaign) from First Spark Media on Vimeo.

Kuhn and Lewis are currently raising funding for the film via an Indiegogo campaign to gain public support. I believe that Theyre Trying to Kill Us is too controversial for mainstream outlets and so were asking for your support in getting this film out to the world, Kuhn said. Currently, the crowdfunding campaign has raised more than $16,000 of its $54,000 goalwhich will go toward completing the production of the film, funding an aggressive marketing strategy, and obtaining legal counsel.

The challenge of producing this film is that we must have the support of the community to ensure that this film, and message, gets to reach the actualization of creating massive transformation to the global society, the filmmakers said. We have to achieve this together as one, and your support is the reason we will continue to see this success come to be.

New Vegan Film They're Trying to Kill Us Examines Intersection of Diet, Poverty, and Systemic Racism - VegNews

LONDON Transparency and highlighting plant ingredient inclusion is more likely to win over consumers than meat-free or vegan claims, according to GlobalData.

The data and analytics company found 71% of global consumers said plant-based claims are somewhat or very appealing, compared to 42% for meat-free and 39% for vegan.

The reason may be due to the association between plant-based claims and health and wellness attributes.

There is a clear disconnect in consumers minds between what these claims mean and the connotations attached to the definitions, said Carmen Bryan, consumer analyst at GlobalData. This is largely rooted in traditionalism and culture. For some, the idea of meat-free or vegan may be associated with the abstinence of meat, whereas plant-based has a much more positive connotation the inclusion of vegetables and fruit.

Nearly 40% of consumers associate the term natural with plant-based ingredients, she added.

Health and wellness trends are central to much of the FMCG industry, and that has only become more evident amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which is seeing consumers change their diets to incorporate more immune-boosting products, Ms. Bryan said. For many, the option to drink a plant-based smoothie packed full of vitamins is an easy and tasty way to get their health fix.

While vegans comprise only a small portion of the global population, plant-based claims have positive connotations for flexitarians and low-meat dieters, who may seek healthier, more ethically-conscious foods without abstaining from meats altogether.

Plant-based as a marketing message capitalizes on the trending popularity of these diets and has wider appeal, Ms. Bryan said. Associations with naturalness, another trending claim, only adds to this further.
