Jasmijn de Boo, Vegan Society CEO, on health benefits of veganism in The Sun
CEO Jasmijn talks about her motivations for going vegan and how she maintains a healthy vegan diet with ease.
"My main objective by changing my diet was to be nicer to other living species but I was curious about the health benefits too. I’d heard that it was meant to be a clean, healthy lifestyle but I also wanted to make sure I would get all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals – especially calcium and protein – from the food I was eating.
At first, I thought it would be difficult not to eat animal products but, when I became familiar with the ingredients of products at the supermarket, I realised I didn’t have to worry."
