Frequently Asked Questions

Can a plant diet be considered harmful?

While many people have experienced health benefits from adopting a plant-based diet, any type of diet can be harmful if not managed correctly or with the assistance of a medical professional. People who are transitioning to a plant based diet should be careful about their vitamin and mineral intake. Eating an unbalanced diet without replacements for these substances can cause deficiencies and negative health impacts. Additionally, following a purely vegan/plant-based lifestyle could mean cutting out valuable sources of protein found in dairy and eggs, which may hinder muscle maintenance. People who follow a plant-based diet must adapt their diets to meet their nutritional needs.

Can children follow a plant based diet?

Because of their many health benefits, plant-based diets are growing in popularity among adults. However, parents may wonder if a plant-based diet is safe for their children. Yes, children can have a plant based diet provided it is planned and meets their nutritional requirements.

Children can grow and develop their bodies by eating plant-based foods. However, it is important to ensure that children get enough protein, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. It is important to have adequate protein for growth and development. Tofu, beans, lentils, nuts, and tofu are all good sources of plant-based proteins. Fortified cereals and leafy greens contain iron, which is essential for healthy blood cells. Fortified plant milks, calcium-settofu, and leafy vegetables all provide calcium which is vital for healthy bones. Vitamin D is essential for bone health. It can be obtained through fortified plant milk or sunlight exposure. Vitamin B12, an essential component of healthy nerves and blood vessels, is usually only found in animal products. Therefore, children on a plant-based diet may need to take a B12 supplement.

Also, it is important that children who eat a plant-based diet get enough calories to meet their energy requirements. A variety of whole foods should be offered to children by their parents, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts. To meet their energy requirements, children may need to eat less or eat more often.

To ensure that your child's diet is healthy, it is a good idea to consult with a registered dietitian. They can also help with meal planning and supplementation as well as determining the best portion sizes for their child.

It is possible for children to safely eat a plant-based diet, provided it meets their nutritional needs. Parents can provide their children with a healthy and nutritious plant-based diet with proper planning and guidance from a healthcare professional or registered dietitian.

Can I eat egg on a plant-based food diet?

On a plant-based lifestyle, eggs are not permitted. This diet excludes meat, fish and poultry as well as eggs. Many vegan alternatives to traditional egg-centric dishes have similar taste and texture, but do not rely on animal products. Tofu scrambles and omelets are great breakfast options that have the same appearance and texture as eggs. They also provide plant-based protein. Chickpea flour and mashed banana can be used to replace eggs in baked goods. Aquafaba, which is the liquid in chickpea cans, can also be used as an alternative to eggs when making meringues and other desserts. Flaxseed meal or Chia seeds mixed with water can be used as an egg substitute to preserve non-vegan dishes without compromising their taste.
