Shifting To Veganism? 3 Apps To Help You Embrace A Plant-Based Diet

These apps offer easy vegan recipes and food hacks that can help you make a smooth transition to veganism.

The vegan diet or ‘veganism’ has been around since 500 BCE. A plant-based diet that abstains from using animals and animal-based products including dairy, veganism focuses on identifying plant-based alternatives to fuel one’s body. While the vegan diet originates from ancient Indian and eastern Mediterranean societies, it has now gained global recognition and is now on a mission to reduce global warming by cutting down our dependence on animal protein.

Not only is veganism good for the environment, but it is also good for the body. According to science, a vegan diet helps in reducing the risk of developing heart disease by lowering cholesterol, cutting the risk of getting certain types of cancer and helping in managing diabetes by lowering A1C levels.

If you too want to shift to veganism, you can take the help of technology in the form of these apps that offer easy vegan recipes and food hacks that can help you make a smooth transition to a sustainable and more responsible diet.
