One of the main reasons people adopt a vegan lifestyle is because they want to be healthier and live longer. Although a fully vegan lifestyle will certainly make you healthier, there some specific foods that you should make sure to include in your diet if you want to live a long life.

Turmeric

Tumeric is a great spice to add to many vegan meals. It helps your body to fight of inflammation and viruses. Recent studies have also shown that it can prevent cancer and Alzheimer’s. Check out these healthy turmeric chips!

Hemp Seeds

Hemp has many great benefits, and this includes being a part of your diet. The seeds are a great source of vitamin E and protein.

Garlic

Garlic is one of those things that people either absolutely love or absolutely hate. Hopefully you love it (if not then check out garlic capsules at your local health food store), because it is great for improving your immune system and for your joints.

Blueberries

These sweet treats have some amazing health benefits. They can decrease inflammation and guard cells (which helps prevent colds). They have also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers, stroke, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. For the healthiest options, try out our Blueberry Kombucha Bars or Blueberry Walnut Bars.

Wine

If you enjoy a glass of wine when relaxing after a hard day of work you’ll be happy to know that this could help you live longer! Red wine is high in polyphenols. These antioxidants help increase circulation and prevent coronary artery disease. Of course, more than one class a day can become harmful so in moderation please!

Asparagus

Asparagus is full of b12 and potassium, both which help aid in cell repair throughout the human body. If you're looking for the healthiest asparagus snack, check these out.

Legumes and Beans

Both legumes and beans are a fantastic way to get protein when you are on a meat-free diet. They are also high in fiber and low in fat. Studies have found that people who get a majority of their protein from beans instead of meat are healthier and can live longer than those who don’t.
