With Veganuary just gone, being vegan is certainly in vogue but what are the pros and cons of a vegan diet?

To find out the truth, the pros and cons of being vegan and whether it is for you, I’m joined on this week's Real Health by professional dietitian, Maeve Hanan.

Maeve gives some great tips on making sure your diet is balanced and what kind of foods to focus on - and it's not just about fruit and veg. Plus she addresses the role of a vegan diet for athletes as well as the growing interest from teenagers and 20-somethings.
