Plant protein sources include legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans), tofu, tepeh, quinoa, nuts and seeds. These options offer all the essential amino acids for your health.

Not necessarily. With a little knowledge and planning, it is easy to maintain a balanced vegan or vegetarian diet. The key is to include variety and ensure that each meal contains essential proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats and micronutrients. In Vivea, we help you create a plan adapted to your needs and tastes, ensuring that important nutrients are not missing.

Yes, iron is present in vegetable foods such as legumes, tofu, spinach, seeds and oats. However, iron of plant origin is not absorbed as easily as animal iron. Fortunately, combining these foods with sources of vitamin C (such as citrus, peppers or strawberries) improves absorption. We help you adjust your diet to optimize iron absorption.

There are many vegetable sources of calcium, such as tofu, broccoli, rizada cabbage, almonds and fortified vegetable drinks. The key is to choose calcium-rich foods and to combine them with vitamin D for better absorption. In Vivea, we guide you to make your diet rich in calcium and other nutrients necessary for bone health.

If not properly planned, a vegan diet may lack calcium and vitamin D, which are key to bone health. However, with the inclusion of vegetable sources of calcium and exposure to the sun for vitamin D, you can maintain strong bone health. In Vivea, we help you ensure that your diet is balanced and that you receive all the necessary nutrients.

In some cases, such as vitamin B12, omega-3 and vitamin D, supplements may be necessary, as these nutrients are not found in large quantities in plant sources. We guide you on the right supplements for your diet and how to integrate them safely, ensuring that your health remains in your best condition.

Yes, vegan athletes can get enough energy, protein and other essential nutrients from plant sources.

We help you design a food plan that supports your physical performance, covering all your energy and nutritional needs.

A plant-based diet can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and certain types of cancer.
