A major challenge for vegans, who maintain a diet free of animal-derived ingredients, is getting the full range of vitamins and minerals traditionally provided by meat and dairy. Fruit and vegetables are high in vitamin C and fiber but often fall short in vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Fortunately, there are a number of breakfast cereals and soy milk products that are specifically fortified with these and other essential nutrients. Yeast extract is also an excellent source of vitamin B12 and adds a distinctive flavor to dishes such as tofu and lentils.

Beneficial to the heart, EPA and DHA are two types of omega-3 fats typically found in seafood. Certain ocean vegetables, such as kelp, contain these fats, as do supplements composed of micro algae. Alternatively, vegans seek out seeds and nuts, ranging from flaxseeds to walnuts, that contain omega-3 rich oils. These can be incorporated in salad dressings that feature leafy greens, which are also an excellent source of iron and iodine.

Yoga is a dynamic discipline whose practitioners are continuously developing new techniques and poses. On such example is the reverse warrior pose, a version of the classic warrior pose. Common to vinyasa flow yoga in recent years, reverse warrior maintains the forward-facing leg stretch of warrior pose and reverses it for the top half of the trunk. Supporting the stretch with one hand on the extended back thigh, the practitioner stretches the other arm out over the head in a backward direction. This side stretch is an excellent way of opening the intercostal muscles, which inhabit the space between the ribs.

Another new variation in the yoga repertoire is the goddess pose, which involves standing with legs spread as wide as possible and the knees bent at a 90-degree angle. The arms are similarly extended and turned upward at the elbow at a 90-degree angle. Borrowed from martial arts, this pose has been known in Tai Chi as “horse stance” for many years. It involves opening and extending the limbs, as well as steadying the core, and is particularly popular among expectant mothers.
