5 Vegan Options You Need to Try at Disney World This Summer – One Green Planet

Posted: August 9, 2017 at 10:47 pm


No matter where you grew up, chances are that one of Disneys animated classics was so near and dear to your heart that to this day, you can still recite the lines, word-for-word. In light of our childhood (and sometimes adulthood) Disney obsessions, its not surprising that Disney theme parks dominate the list of the most popular theme parks by attendance.

Did you know that Disney World also happens to be incredibly vegan-friendly? Vacationing with dietary restrictions can be stressful, but Disney makes sure that no matter what your diet, you can have a full day of fun without having to worry about where or what youre going to be able to eat.Not only does Disney World feature two locations of Erin McKennas Bakery, an all-vegan and gluten-free bakery, but vacationers looking for some plant-based eats will find plenty of options across Disneys multiple parks.

When we learned how vegan-friendly The Magic Kingdom is, we knew that we had to find out what kind of options they offer. Here are five of our favorites:

If you cant make it to the Magic Kingdom, we recommend tracking down a mouse-shaped waffle iron and trying your hand at one of these10 Vegan Waffle Recipes That Left Us Awestruck. Or try our some of our other personal favorites, like these Cornbread Waffles With Pulled Jackfruitand these Sourdough SpeltWaffles.

Make your own at home with this Jollof Rice, a classic one-pot African dish thats made by cooking rice with tomatoes, onions, and spices like ginger, nutmeg, and Scotch bonnet peppers. This pairs perfectly with these Fried Plantains, this Piri Piri Tofu, and these Akara, a Nigerian fritter made from mashed black-eyed peas.

If you love umami flavor, then we recommend trying out thisTeriyakiTofu Bowl or this Miso-Glazed Eggplant.Or, try something completely different with this Miso Eggplant Dip.

You can make your own beignets at home, like these gluten-free Banana Beignets. If you feel your culinary skills are up to the test, you might even want to try deep-frying this vegan Choux Pastry.

Dont despair if you cant make it to Disney! You have the next best thing when you make recipes like this Pia Colada Sorbet, these PineappleIce Lollies, and this Mango Sorbet With Banana and Pineapple.

Follow vegandisneyworld on Instagram for more options, including tips on which non-vegan dishes at Disney can be made vegan upon request!

Going on vacation without having to worry about what youre going to eat is great, but it also never hurts to be prepared while traveling. For all your travel snack needs,we highly recommend you downloadourFood Monster App,which is available for bothAndroidandiPhone, and can also be found onInstagramandFacebook.

Medicine or No MeatActor Franka Potente Chose Vegan | PETA – PETA (blog)

Posted: at 10:47 pm


Written by PETA | August 9, 2017

Bourne Identity and Run Lola Run actor Franka Potente has teamed up with PETA Germany for a new ad and video campaign, in which she shares that going vegan three years ago changed her life.

After Potente visited a doctor and was told that she would need either to take medications or change the way that she ate, something shed never considered before became the clear choice: I love a good challenge, so I walked out of the doctors office vegan, she explains.

And Franka hasnt looked backshe sat down with PETA to discuss just how much her decision to go vegan has changed her life.

She joins a growing list of celebritiesincluding Casey Affleck, Pamela Anderson, Alan Cumming, Woody Harrelson, Joaquin Phoenix, Maggie Q, and Alicia Silverstonewho have teamed up with PETA to promote healthy and humane meat-free meals.

Eating plant-based is good for human health: The British Medical Journalpublished findings from a study concluding that lifelong vegans have a 57 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease.

Unlike meat, eggs, and dairy products which contain large amounts of cholesterol and saturated fat, plant foods have no cholesterol at all. And eating plant based is high in fibersomething animal-derived foods are completely devoid ofwhich helps wash away excess cholesterol in your digestive tract.

The number one recommendation in the American Cancer Societys Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention is to eat a diet with an emphasis on plant foods. Researchers have found that vegetarians are between 25 and 50 percent less likely than meat-eaters to suffer from cancer, even after accounting for other factors, such as smoking.

In addition to causing heart disease and cancer, animal-derived foods contain harmful contaminantsincluding bacteria, arsenic, dioxins, and mercurythat can affect our health both in the short and long term.

Has Frankas choice to go vegan rather than taking medicine piqued your interest?

Remember that every vegan saves more than 100 animals a year from horrific crueltyand byencouraging people around you to follow your lead, you can save many more.

How to stay vegan on holiday from marinara pizza to Kuala Lumpur rice balls – The Guardian

Posted: at 10:47 pm


British veganism long ago moved from grain sacks and carob bars at the back of health-food shops into the mainstream. But animal-free eating can still be a challenge abroad, when the language barrier gets in the way of attempts to agonise about fish sauce. With summer holidays looming, many vegan converts face weeks far from Tofurkey and beyond the reach of lifestyle bloggers, a challenge that is at least as great as learning to love cheese made out of beans.

As a travel writer currently cycling around the world, and a vegan of 16 years, Ive learned that theres no need to worry about your next meal when travelling as a vegan. Many countries particularly in Asia have a food culture that celebrates vegetarian food, and dishes that can be easily adapted for vegans. There are a wealth of resources to help you track down vegan restaurants all over the world. From the Gili Islands to Ghana, here are some tips to help you stay vegan abroad.

In mainland Europe where a bit of bacon is considered seasoning and in Scandinavia, listings website HappyCow comes into its own. Featuring restaurants in more than 100 countries, it gives you the option of filtering for vegan, vegetarian and vegetarian-friendly offerings and sorting by price and distance. Community reviews are usually spot on, but listings can be out of date, so its worth calling ahead. Restaurants are often proposed by locals, too, which means youll find somewhere off the beaten track. Another option is to search TripAdvisors restaurant listings for vegan. This combs both keywords and tags, which can sometimes uncover a restaurant that has turned out vegan versions of dishes before, even if they arent advertised on the menu.

Night markets and street-food vendors can be a great option for the travelling vegan because you can see everything thats going into your meal. Look out for rice balls in Kuala Lumpur; tempeh (best described as wholegrain tofu) on sticks in Indonesia; churros (doughnuts) in Mexico (check that they arent made with egg; many authentic recipes dont call for it); fried dough on the streets of Rio de Janiero and noodle carts throughout Asia, where you can select toppings from whats on display.

Throughout the world, restaurants run by the Hare Krishna movement, often called Govindas, serve up cheap, wholesome vegetarian curries that are usually vegan. The branch in Londons Soho is an institution. You can find a full directory of restaurants on the Hare Krishna website. Other places to look out for include Loving Hut, a vegan restaurant chain that has outposts in countries including Paraguay, Benin, Congo and Ethiopia.

Canteens attached to temples in India and China are usually strictly vegetarian and are experts at creative vegan alternatives. Buddhist temples in China serve up an amazing array of mock meat usually made from seitan, or wheat gluten while Hindu, Jain and Buddhist temples in India, such as the Hindu Meenakshi temple in Madurai, India, have canteens that serve vegetarian food, much of which is vegan (check it hasnt been fried in ghee, which is clarified butter). Ashrams also offer all-vegetarian food: Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Dhanwantari ashram, in Kerala, in south India, served some of the best vegan food Ive ever had moreish dals and drumstick curries. Throughout India, look for restaurant signs saying pure vegetarian.

Desperate times and a tight budget can sometimes mean that cooking for yourself is the best option. Build up fruit bowls from local markets, bearing in mind that in some countries youll need to stick to fruit thats prepared in front of you such as watermelon or that you can peel yourself to avoid contaminated tap water. Hire barbecue pits in Vietnam and Cambodia, as local families do, and cook your own feast on the beach.

Vegan isnt as commonly understood a word as vegetarian, so have someone else write out phrases for no meat, dairy, eggs and fish on a flashcard. Use pictures if you have to. In southern China, a barman wrote the Mandarin word for Buddhist nun on a card for me because many Buddhists in China avoid animal products and it worked like a charm.

AsiaJackie Kearney, chef, 2011 MasterChef finalist and author of Vegan Street Food

India overwhelmed us with delicious vegan food. Try Indian pancakes known as dosa or their thicker cousin, oothapam, for plant-powered perfection on a plate. Ask for pad thai jay in Thailand, the veggie version of their classic stir-fried noodle dish, and it should omit any seafood additions such as fish sauce and the egg. In much of Asia, egg is perceived as a meat byproduct. In India, eggs, curd and paneer (Indian cheese) are usually found on the non-veg menu. In south-east Asia, dairy is virtually non-existent on all menus. Student food spots are great places for good value and nutritious vegan food. Try green jackfruit curry, an Indonesian student staple. In Thailand and Laos, try stir-fried holy basil with aubergine (pad ka prao), vegetable fried rice and noodle soups.

Latin AmericaSean OCallaghan, blogger, event planner and activist

The past five years have heralded an unstoppable plant-based food revolution as Mexico City overflows with 100% vegan bakeries, grocery stores, cafes, festivals, restaurants and multiple home delivery services. My favourite accidentally vegan Mexican delights? Fried tortilla chips with pico de gallo or street-corner stands selling fresh fruit dusted with chilli. Mexico and its capital are full of culinary delights for vegan travellers. Todo Vegano is an invaluable guide to finding everything plant-based in Mexico (and Latin America).

The MediterraneanFabio Stefno, owner of Fed By Water, a vegan Italian restaurant in east London

It seems the biggest vegetarian community in Europe is in Italy. Plenty of dishes are born vegan, but its crucial to remember to specify no cheese. Spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino (spaghetti with olive oil, garlic and chilli) is a vegan dish, as is marinara pizza (tomato and garlic), as long as the dough is made with olive oil and not lard. Pasta e ceci (chickpea pasta) is another typical vegan main together with other sauces such as pomodoro, arrabbiata and so many more. Salads and veggies of all kind are available everywhere cooked in different ways.

Get Inspired by These Asian-American Female Vegan Business Owners – PETA

Posted: at 10:47 pm


A version of this article first appeared on peta2.com.

Asian-American womenincluding those with vegan brandsare making their presence known in the business world. According to the 2016 American Express State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, [T]here are an estimated 922,700 Asian-American women-owned firms generating $170.4 billion in revenues.

These innovative Asian-American/Pacific Islander vegan business owners inspire and influence us with their ambition, mission, and merchandise:

Aubry Walch was 13 years old when her family moved from Guam to Minnesota. Now, along with her younger brother, Kale, she owns a vegan butcher shop in Minneapolis.

After successfully setting up at the farmers market with their plant-based meat brand, The Herbivorous Butcher, Aubry and Kale raised enough money through a Kickstarter campaign to open up their own vegan deli and restaurant.

Their spicy chorizo, smoky BBQ ribs, burgers, and so many other offerings prove that no animal needs to be harmed to get great-tasting meaty food.

Bianca Moran founded SUSI Studio, a Los Angelesbased vegan footwear company. In Filipino, susi means key, which represents her goal of unlocking ethical approaches to fashion and style. Celebrities such as Miley Cyrus have been photographed wearing her designs.

Each pair of shoes is mindfully designed and made with sustainable, natural, and ethically sources fibers such as hemp and canvas, as well as with polyurethane from recycled plastic bottles.

Vaute creator and founder Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart started out as a model before becoming a vegan fashion business owner. While modeling in Taipei, she discovered Deepak Chopras book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and became inspired to start her own fashion line after reading, Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.

Today, Vaute uses organic and recycled fibers to create all kinds of vegan clothing, from sweaters to swimsuits. Her cozy wool-free coats prove that no sheep needs to suffer for fashion.

Miyoko Schinner was on a mission to recreate the flavors and textures of the dairy cheeses that she ate before becoming vegan. Years of experimentation eventually led to the publication of her influential book, Artisan Vegan Cheese. As successful as it was, people often urged her to sell the already made cheeses from the recipes.

After assembling a team of passionate vegans, she launched Miyokos Kitchen. Her brands plant-based cultured nut cheese, butter, and even fresh mozzarella-style cheese can be found at grocery stores across the country, including Trader Joes. Countless cows have been spared, thanks to Miyokos delicious artisan creations.

Cykochik Custom Handbags founder Nikki Duong Koenig started her brand in 2003 in her dorm room at Southern Methodist University. What started out as a creative outlet for her art and designs soon snowballed into the vegan custom-handbags company that it is today.

On the 10th anniversary of Cykochiks creation, Nikki launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise enough money to take her brand to the next level. Her designs are saving the lives of animals used for their skins in the fashion industry.

Sweet & Sara founder Sara Sohn went vegan at age 14 while caring for her childhood bunny, Skipper. It was easy for her to stop eating most animal-derived foods, but she missed marshmallows, which typically contain gelatin. She was hopeful that vegan marshmallows would exist somedayand now they do, thanks to her!

Sarawho named her brand with the help of her sister, Susanexperienced an initial setback when she found out that the company that was selling her vegetarian gel for her marshmallows was actually using gelatin. After 10 months of trial and error, she devised the perfect formula. Now, Sweet & Sara vegan marshmallows can be found in grocery stores all around the world.

ahimsa Essentials was established by husband-and-wife team Sean and Queenie Scherer. After they learned about the harmful chemicals found in conventional and even natural skincare goods, they set out to create a cruelty-free and vegan skincare company with items that containat mostfive ingredients and no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or synthetic fragrances. Ahimsa is a Sanskrit word meaning nonviolence.

Queenie is also an engineer, but she can be found selling ahimsa Essentials products at local farmers markets in the Phoenix area.

Asian-American/Pacific Islander vegan business owners are changing the face of the animal rights movement one cruelty-free and vegan item at a time. Purchasing their products not only supports their businesses but also enhances our quality of life, benefits the environment, andof coursesaves animals lives.

5 Reasons To Include Water Aerobics In Your Exercise Routine – Medical Daily

Posted: at 10:46 pm


Water aerobics have a reputation for being the workout of choice among senior citizens, but new trends like Aquapole, which takes the popular pole dancing class into the water, are bringing new interest to pool workouts. Created in Italy, the classes are now available worldwide and target the belly, shoulders, hips and heart. Whether you go old school and swim a few laps in the community pool or try out a fitness class, the benefits of water aerobics make them ideal for all age ranges and fitness levels. Read on for fivereasons you should consider switching up your workout this summer.

Read:Beer Yoga Is The Workout Class For People Who Dont Like Exercise

The Centers for Disease Control advises water-based exercise for people dealing with arthritis. Research has shown that these workouts can prevent symptoms from getting worse and actually improvejoint mobility. For osteoarthritis sufferers, exercising in the water can help with pain management, too.

Arthritic patients arent the only ones who need to worry about joint health. Cardiovascular activities such as running and Zumba are notably high impact, which could result in injuries. When you do an exercise on land, like jogging, you get an impact on your joints," Torben Hersborg, an osteopath from the Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic, explained to The Daily Mail. But when you exercise in the water, you don't have any gravity forcing your body weight down onto your joints. In fact, the paper reports that the buoyancy of the water can reduce joint impact by 85 percent.

In general, exercise is linked with a rosier outlook. However, research has found that underwater fitness can decrease anxiety and depression for patients with fibromyalgia. The activity has also been shown to improve the health of pregnant women and their unborn children. Water has long been linkedto less stress and higher levels of happiness.

Plus, swimming is actually fun. People tend to enjoy swimming more than running or bike-riding, Hirofumi Tanaka, a professor of kinesiology and director of the Cardiovascular Aging Research Lab at the University of Texas, told Time. Tanaka explains to the magazine that 50 percent of exercisers give up a new program within months, but swimmers usually stick with their workouts.

Read:Why Exercise Could Be The Perfect Cure For Cravings

According to the Cleveland Clinic, pool exercises burn between 400 to 500 calories per hour. As water has 12 times the resistance of air, youll benefit from both a strength and cardio workout. No equipment is necessary but incorporating kick boards, hand-held paddles and foam noodles can intensify your workout for an extra calorie burn.

Office workers usually spend hours hunched over their keyboards. A researcher at Indiana University who wrote a scientific handbook about swimming told Time he believes that switching up your position to work out horizontally could actually alleviate some of the damage associated with desk jobs.

Theres no hard impact on your back like there is with running, and instead of being bent forward like you would be on a bike, your back tends to be arched slightly in the opposite direction, Tanner said.

Clinics, aerobics fight off NCDs – Fiji Times

Posted: at 10:46 pm


IT will not take only government neither the Ministry of Health nor private organisations to combat non-communicable diseases.

It will take the desire and efforts of each and every one.

Lifestyle disease has crippled society, some have had to give up certain things or make sacrifice in order to look after a loved one bedridden as a result of NCDs. For others they have had to go on with life after losing their loved ones to these diseases.

It is death that can be avoided, diseases that can be prevented but it all depends on the choices we make, the choice of living a happy and healthy lifestyle.

For everyone has the freedom to choose but no one has the freedom to choose the consequences of the choices they make.

NCD is the leading cause of morbidity, disability and mortality in Fiji with relatively early age of cardiovascular deaths.

According to the Ministry of Health (MoH), this group of diseases, with lifelong disabilities and devastating complications is of great burden particularly to the MOH, as well as the community and the nation as a whole.

Research has seen that more women are likely to become obese as compared with men.

In what was never the case, Naitasiri, one of the most fertile provinces in the country, is now on the verge of a health crisis with more women suffering from lifestyle diseases.

The 2016 statistics released by the Health Ministry from the four health centres in the province revealed that 486 men are suffering from NCD as compared with 746 women. Of this figure, 60 men and 593 women are suffering from hypertension, while 46 men and 122 women are suffering from both hypertension and diabetes.

The Fiji Volleyball Federation, in conjunction with the Australian Government, is working closely with the ministry of health and villages in the province in trying to combat NCD.

"Findings from the Fiji NCD STEPS Survey conducted in 2002 found that females in Fiji were by far more obese than males, with indigenous Fijians almost doubling the rate of obesity compared with Fijians of Indian descent.

"The Fiji Volleyball Federation (FVF) is embarking on a program that aims to get women physically active in an effort to reduce the risk factors of NCDs. The initiative is part of the Australian Government's Pacific Sports Partnerships (PSP) program funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the Australian Aid program and managed by the Australian Sports Commission.

"PSP is supporting the Volleyball Australia and Oceania Zonal Volleyball Association to build the capacity of the Fiji Volleyball Federation (FVF) to conduct quality sport for development programs," said FVF official Semaima Lagilagi.

Over the past three weeks, officials from the FVF have been conducting health and fitness programs in the province of Naitasiri.

"The team has been working with two villages, Naqali and Naluwai, for the last three weeks," she said.

"The villagers are required to undergo a basic screening at the beginning of the program and at the end to monitor their health and physical activity levels.

"The response that we have received has been very positive.

"The villagers, precisely the women, really enjoyed the program and most of them have recommended that we visit them again."

Best Fitness Motivator: Amelia Avila Garcia – East Bay Express

Posted: at 10:46 pm


Customers love her dedication. She may not know it, but she was, and still is, my motivation for my fitness and health, explained Candy Villareal, Bladium member, who has worked out with Garcia for the past ten years. Amelia has changed my life completely.

This sentiment is common among the members. Garcia has been the Group Fitness Manager of the sports club for the past eleven years. Since joining, she has transformed the lives of countless of individuals, some perhaps initially intimidated at the thought of working out, but who found a safe heaven and a sense of community at Bladium.

It was actually those workouts with her mom that fostered her desire to become an instructor. As a college student at Humboldt State, she did just that, obtaining her certification to teach step-aerobics, and even teaching classes during her time as an undergrad.

Garcias style of teaching, and her devotion to fitness and desire help people get fit, has even converted members of the club into instructors. You gotta love what you do, and it will automatically inspire people, she said.

I tried every class she taught, because I couldnt get enough of how strong and powerful her coaching was, Jayne Gagliano, an RPM instructor at Bladium, fondly remembered. Eventually, I took her RPM class, and that was it: I was hooked, and I knew I wanted to be an instructor myself.

Garcia says that fitness should make you feel good, even if it is just a mental release, and a boost of confidence. But she also understands the struggle to find the time to work out; she is also a mom of two a toddler and a six-month baby girl and also a wife.

Not only is it rare that someone loves what they do for a living, she gives everything shes got, gushed her husband, Gabriel Avila. She leads by example.

Garcias forged a community bond at Bladium. Since her tenure began, she has made sure that members feel comfortable, and actually want to come back and become regulars. Her reach goes beyond the hours at the sports club; she uses Facebook to keep in touch with members, and shares tips not only for fitness, but also about healthy eating habits, too.

Have a question about a fitness tracker? Garcia has plenty of answers. Need a quick workout routine to try on your own? Shell even film one for you.

I want our [Bladium] family to continue to grow, make sure that new people feel comfortable, and find something they like about fitness, she explained.
