It is World Vegan Day today, and we are addressing some common doubts that arise when people consider making the switch to veganism. A recent study shows that many people in the UAE are embracing this diet, driven by factors such as the climate and a desire for a healthier lifestyle.
Agarwal further emphasizes that even though Dubai’s climate is hot for most of the year, it doesn’t deter people from engaging in indoor activities like yoga, swimming, and Pilates. She firmly believes that there’s no excuse for neglecting one’s health.

With no prior baking experience, Rashmi’s journey has been remarkable, as she has developed a range of products, including cookies, granola, nut butter, crackers, protein bars, and cakes, all made with natural ingredients and packed with fiber.

Nature has made such a beautiful balance with a variety of fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and grains which are just consumed native to the origin can definitely help achieve balanced nutrition. Native food is fresh, healthy, nutritious, and pocket-friendly,” she concludes.
