Essentials of Vegan Nutrition
A well-planned vegan diet can provide you with all the nutrients you need to be healthy. It can also lower your chances of developing health problems, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Being vegan is also one of the best decisions you can make for the lives of animals and the environment. Fiona's talk on the essentials of vegan nutrition will help you learn how you can make a vegan diet work for you with practical nutrition tips and advice.
Vegan Nutrition for kids of all ages
Do you worry your kids might be missing out on essential nutrients for growth and development on a vegan diet? Science tells us that a well-planned vegan diet can meet nutrient requirements for all stages of life, including infancy and childhood. The key to a healthy vegan diet for kids is a combination of nutrition education and preparation. Fiona’s talk on vegan nutrition for kids will provide you with practical advice on developing optimal vegan diets for kids using practical meal planning strategies.
Vegan Nutrition for achieving your fitness goals
An essential component of improving your performance and achieving your exercise goals is proper nutrition. In this talk, Fiona will provide you with an overview of the crucial dietary factors that affect performance, recovery and muscle development and how this can be applied to a vegan diet. Fiona will help you learn how and why your nutritional choices matter and provide you with sports nutrition tips on what to eat when and in what quantities.
