Last weekend Yvonne was speaking at London Vegfest about how to raise your children heathily on a vegetarian / vegan diet.

Although eating a plant based diet helps you avoid greater risks associated with a standard diet there are optimisation issues you need to be aware of as with any diet. Getting the balance right with high sugar foods and adequate essential fats intake are just as important to keep an eye on as with a meat based diet.

25% UK toddlers lacking Vitamin D

A quarter of UK toddlers are lacking Vitamin D - Health News - Health & Families - The Independent

I think you'll find we told you so, many times, but just in case we'll tell you again.

Vitamin D  is one of the most important vitamins, especially for your immune system and for building and maintaining bone health.

Your body makes vitamin D from sunshine - If there ain't no sunshine, then she's gone, there ain't no vitamin D when she goes away.

If you spend your time playing nintendo or computer games instead of running about outside, riding in a car instead of on a bike, taking the tube / bus instead of walking through the park, thinking you look cool always wearing dark glasses or if you have dark skin to genetically protect you from a hot equatorial sun and you live in northern Europe or America then you are going to need a vitamin D supplement. A vitamin D defieciency leaves you with a greater risk of a number of different diseases not just bone problems and rickets.
