You must have heard of veganism and now it's on you to decide whether it is just a trend or a healthy practice. Know more about it.

The clock is ticking and a lot of people are in rush to adapt healthier lifestyle choices. On the other hand, some are relying on whatever is trending on social media. Be it 'Keto' or 'Parkinsons' diet' or something else. However, one thing that has been there for ages but recently shot to fame is 'Veganism'.
Several questions also arise around veganism; like 'Is it just a trend?' 'What all do you need to abstain from while practising veganism?' and 'What is the hype about veganism?' So, here we are to answer all your questions!
<h3>Veganism and its history</h3>

<h3>Is Veganism just another trend?</h3>
According to research conducted in the UK, there has been a 350% increase in people following a vegan diet. And those who practise it, say that is not just a fashion trend as it is a lifestyle choice that they are opting for themselves and for the society.

Load up: vegan sources of protein to add to your diet

#WorldVeganDay is commemorated on the 1st of November. Here's a list of some vegan sources of protein that are must-haves in your diet

Vegan and vegetarian&nbsp;diets have become quite popular in the recent past with a number of people opting for them for a variety of reasons. With the growing number of plant-based alternatives and fortified foods, it has become quite easy to make the switch! Whether it is for fighting infection or sustaining good muscle, heart and brain health, the body needs optimum protein.
Contrary to popular belief there do exist&nbsp;some great vegan alternative&nbsp;sources of protein&nbsp;that you can include in your diet.
Did you know, just 100g of tofu gives you 8g of protein? This fantastic food derived from soya&nbsp;contains essential amino acids needed by the body and is a whole source of protein. Tofu is so versatile- you can stir fry it, add it to your salad or relish it in a hot cup of soup.
When it comes to protein, you cannot give lentils a miss. They're packed with protein, low in fat and rich in fibre. For those of you looking to make the switch from meat, lentils could be your go-to protein rich food! Easy to cook, you can either&nbsp;have them for lunch or dinner.
The easiest way to get your dose of protein is from nuts and seeds. They're full of antioxidants, good fats and fiber. But to reap their benefits, make sure to pick the raw, unsalted ones. You can gorge on walnuts, cashew nuts, almonds or pumpkin seeds.
Buckwheat is another plant-based source of protein. The dynamic pseudo cereal can be used as a flour in baking, or cooked like oatmeal! You can have it as a porridge or opt to bake delicious bread. Whether you're vegan or not, these alternatives will ensure your body gets its dose of protein.

Flexitarian diet, created by dietician Dawn Jackson Blatner, is a combination of two words; flexible and vegetarian.

Flexitarian Diet: All you need to know about this new diet trend

If you&rsquo;re a meat-lover who is trying to eat more greens, there may be a new plan for you. Flexitarian diet, created by dietician Dawn Jackson Blatner, is a combination of two words; flexible and vegetarian. Simply put, in flexitarianism, you can reap the full benefits of fruits and vegetables with a flexible share of meat as well.
You may be wondering, how is this different from the omnivore diet? Well, in her book &ldquo;The Flexitarian Diet,&rdquo;&nbsp;Blatner has distinguished three different stages. Each of them prescribes some guidelines on how much meat you can eat. This moderation in meat intake is what differentiates it from a regular omnivore diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Now, this diet has a couple of basic principles involved. Let&rsquo;s take a look at them:
1) Derive protein from plant-based food instead of meat
2) Incorporate meat at regular intervals
3) Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes
4) Reduce artificial sweeteners
Benefits of the Flexitarian Diet
The Flexitarian Diet may help in reducing your risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes as it is in line with vegetarianism. A study by National Center for Biotechnology Information said that a vegetarian diet effectively lowers cholesterol in the blood, which is extremely important when suffering from diabetes and heart diseases. But, as a flexitarian diet does not exactly comply with the terms of other plant-based plans, it is difficult to assess its health benefits precisely.&nbsp;

India&rsquo;s food regulator FSSAI has proposed draft regulations to launch&nbsp;the labelling&nbsp;and traceability of vegan food products.

After clarifying that plant-based beverages cannot be classified as milk, the Food&nbsp;Safety and Standards of India (FSSAI) is getting serious about the labelling of plant-based foods.&nbsp;
India&rsquo;s food regulator FSSAI has proposed draft regulations to launch&nbsp;the labelling&nbsp;and traceability of vegan food products. Once implemented, all certified vegan foods will also carry a&nbsp;special&nbsp;logo to distinguish them from non-vegan items.&nbsp;

By definition, vegan food is one that does not use any&nbsp;ingredients, additives and processing aids of animal origin including milk, fish, poultry, meat, egg or honey-related products. FSSAI also adds that such products cannot contain&nbsp;materials of insect origin such as silk, dyes or chitosan.&nbsp;
Vegan products must not be involved in animal testing for safety evaluations. They should also not contain any animal-derived GMO (or genetically modified&nbsp;organisms).&nbsp;
The regulations are an effort to help consumers&nbsp;easily&nbsp;identify vegan or plant-based food products&nbsp;as many local and international players&nbsp;like&nbsp;Beyond Meat,&nbsp;Imagine Meats, Good Dot, Urban Platter and more enter the segment.&nbsp;
In fact, the global meat&nbsp;substitute&nbsp;industry was valued at around $20.7 billion in 2020 by research firm Euromonitor.

To throw light on some serious issues plaguing the world today

We may have switched to plant-based and dairy-free diets for many reasons, but its hurting the dairy industry dearly. The Dairy Farmers of America revealed this month that its total sales had dropped by roughly $1.1 billion dollars compared to the previous year. The organization attributes the drop in net sales to deduction in milk prices and also perhaps to the rise of oat, nut, soy, and other alternative “milk” products at third-wave coffee shops, and grocery stores across the country.

These vegetarian and vegan sources of protein are alternatives that you can include in your diet. 

First up is tofu. It is a whole source of protein. You can stir fry it or add some to your salad.

Lastly, Nuts are storehouses of protein. Sprinkle them over your breakfast cereal or add them to your evening snacks.
