well-balanced approach that offers benefits beyond the prevention of
chronic illnesses that are often caused by poor choices in diet and
lifestyles.OU's School of Nursing Vegan Diet course is designed to
emphasize health enhancement benefits. Veganism
is often a misunderstood lifestyle choice. While some still view it as
"new age," researchers are finding evidence that following a balanced
vegan diet boasts a host of health benefits while preventing major
diseases such as most cancers, heart disease and type II diabetes.
Additional benefits include weight reduction, increased energy levels
and better health. Oakland University Instructor Marilyn Mouradjian,
MSN, RN, is a practicing vegan who has long incorporated the benefits of
the vegan diet in her nutrition courses. Those enrolled in the course
will enjoy a tasty approach to a wide

drugs as well.
