UTIs are a key reason we're often told to wipe from front to back after using the bathroom. That's because the urethra -- the tube that transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body -- is located close to the anus. Bacteria from the large intestine, such as E. coli, are in the perfect position to escape the anus and invade the urethra.
A vegan diet does not include any animal-derived products, such as meat, fish, milk, eggs, butter or cheese. It does include non-animal products such as vegetables and fruits (including potatoes), grains (bread, rice, oatmeal, etc.), beans (including lentils), nuts etc.
Fruits and vegetables are staples of the vegan diet. As many omnivores or meat eaters would guess, fruits and vegetables are staples of the vegan diet. Vegans eat them in salads, casseroles, stir fry dishes and with dips such as hummus and baba ghannouj. All vegetables and fruits are considered vegan in their natural, raw states.
