It's okay that not everyone needs to become a vegan to feel better and have a healthier diet. Each one chooses the lifestyle you want to take and this also includes your food. On the other hand, there are factors that vegans take into account and should be applied by all. Keeping a diet does not mean that you will stop eating meat, but that you will consume everything in a conscious and correct way.
Vegan food
1 – Proper nutrition is worth more than medicine
There are people who insist on taking medicine to lose weight and forget about food. It's okay that in some cases they are important and even essential, but you can have a lot more health with a correct diet than taking thousands of pills every day. The items that you can consume in your food and that help control your rates without any kind of secret are a proof of this.
2 – Overheated food may lose nutrients
One of the most common things you'll see in vegan food is low-temperature heating or consumption of dehydrated products. Regardless of whether you are vegan or not, a low-temperature diet will make it much more nutritious. This is because high temperatures oxidize your food and generate free radicals that will harm your body. So, it is much better to leave a food cooking for longer than putting it on higher flames in the oven just for something to cook faster.
3 - Refined carbohydrates hurt your health
Are you one of those people who always give preference to oils, sugars and other refined carbohydrates in your food? You should know then that you may be making one of the biggest mistakes for your health. This type of food has no fibers, very few nutrients in its composition and still favor your hunger. So, give preference to processed food as little as possible or totally natural.
If you follow these simple steps above you will you realize how vegan food is very healthy and can stick to your routine. Try it!

Very good tips @pyotan :) I completely agree that vegans apply certain principles in their diet that we could all use, vegan or not. This is the main reason why I eat vegan a lot, and make vegan recipes, though I'm not fully vegan. Cheers!
Eating a lot of vegetables is indeed great, i think we all agree on that aspect
and eating starchy high fibre roots is also part of our long term evolutionary history
fruits less so. They come with the seasons, rather than being prescriptive about them, we eat them when they are in season
Beans have a few problems, they are high in leptins and antinutritional substances, many people have problems with them. some more than others. For example Kidney beans, Fava bean and Soy are actually quite toxic, while lentils, mung bean and chickpeas are much less so
likewise grains are not equal. Wheat, Oats, rye and barley are good food for some , and yet poison to others. Brown and red rice, Amaranth are quite easy for most
I myself limit my grain intake and carb severely, to less than 100g sometimes less than 50g per day and i find that suits me best
Its certainly possble and fine to get your protein from vegetable sources, though i use a mix of eggs, tempe, poultry, seafood and meats as its fairly complete and easier on my gut health than beans
what i see lacking in this chart youve posted, are fats
i try to get 60% of calories from fats. various types. coconut, butter fat, olive, squid etc. It is necessary to meet your Essential fatty acids need somehow, and to keep balance of w3 and w6. for me its easy as i keep the majority as inlamation neutral monounsaturated and saturated fat
how do you do this? the chart above is quite highly favouring pro-inflammation w6 fats from seeds and nuts
