You can be a healthy vegan or an unhealthy vegan, depending on what you consume.

Dr Derbyshire said: Vegans should follow healthy eating guidelines which include at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and keep fully hydrated.

Meals should be based on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, opting for wholegrain if possible and include some dairy alternatives, such as soya drinks and yoghurts.

A variety of plant-based protein sources should be eaten and plenty of fluid consumed throughout the day ideally drinking 6-8 cups or glasses which does not need to be just water.

Drinking herbal, plant-based teas, like Rooibos, can contribute to fluid intakes and research has found they are just as hydrating.

A new study on Rooibos also found evidence for cholesterol reduction, blood glucose control, bone health, memory function, sperm viability, immune balance, anti-inflammatory effects plus anti-allergy effects.
