In
veg news, a forum on the many health benefits of the plant-based diet
is held for Formosan (Taiwanese) medical students. Organized by the
National Defense Medical Center in Formosa, the seminar was based on the
book “The Essential Diet for New Age.” This publication has been
recommended by more than 100 physicians in Formosa (Taiwan) and very
favorably reviewed in a number of media, including the popular TVBS
television station. It contains 31 vegan doctors and dieticians
presenting their clinical findings as to the numerous ways that the
animal-free diet enhances well-being. Twelve of these writers were
invited to share their understanding of the veg concept.
Interview in Chinese Dr. Cheng Huaxing Chief Physician of Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital Vegan Formosa (Taiwan)
Chief Physician of Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital (m): Modern medicine can
cure our diseases to a certain extent. But our lifestyle, especially
our diet, plays a more important role in getting the proper nutrition
and care for the body. So the vegan diet is a very good choice. It gives
a good balance.
Dr. Lin Jiayi Chief Pediatrician of Taipei Hospital, Department of Health, Vegan Formosa (Taiwan)
Chief
Pediatrician of Taipei Hospital (f): I am a pediatrician. More and more
reports are pointing out the positive effect of the vegan diet on
children’s development. One of the latest reports mentioned that eating
more dark green vegetables and dark yellow vegetables can help children
reduce body fat and increase bone density. So for children, a vegan diet
is the healthiest.

In Chinese Shen Pei-Ying Medical student Formosa (Taiwan)

products. The vegan diet is a healthy diet. Be Veg, Go Green 2 Save the
Planet!
