Are Your Meals Balanced
by LaTara Ham-Ying

As vegans it is important that we learn to balance our meals. The truth is that any diet needs to be balanced to insure proper nutrition gets into the body. The vegan diet has it’s own nutritional needs.

There is a huge misconception that the vegan diet lacks nutrients and that we are not getting enough to be as healthy as we need to be. Nothing could be further from the truth. The vegan diet only lacks because one allows it to do so and does not understand how to balance that meal out. As with any diet when you are not careful you can become deficient.

There is a standard Food Pyramid here in America that many do not follow. Guess what there is one for vegans too. If you follow it as closely as possible, you will be on target with getting the proper nutrition in your body.
The Vegan Pyramid is balanced like this:

    * 3 or more servings of vegetables per day
    * 5 or more servings of whole grains per day
    * 3 or more servings of fruit per day
    * 2 or more servings of legumes per day.

Taking the time to understand this pyramid will allow you to balance your vegan meal properly.
