Did you know…
The consumption of animal fats and proteins has been linked to heart disease, colon cancer, lung cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, obesity, and a number of other debilitating conditions.
Cows’ Milk – Contains high amounts of fat and protein that is way too much for people.
Eggs – Higher in cholesterol than most foods and are the leading contributor to cardiovascular disease.
But there’s good news…
The American Dietetic Association reports that vegetarian/vegan diets are associated with reducing the risks for all of these health conditions.
A well-rounded vegan diet will contain:
- Protein – From legumes (e.g., beans, tofu, peanuts) and grains (e.g., rice, corn, whole wheat breads and pastas)
- Calcium – From broccoli, kale, collard greens, tofu, fortified juices and soymilks
- Iron – From chickpeas, spinach, pinto beans, and soy products
- B12 – From fortified foods or supplements
- Fiber – From whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans

Great post! I just started a blog about going green and my last article was about being vegan!
I am vegetarian and turning more and more vegan. I feel healthier and what is really great (as a vegetarian anyway) is that I can eat a lot of chocolate.
Of course a vegan diet is also healthier for the planet .
You gave great points here. I did some research on this subject and have found nearly all people agree with your blog.
Thank you for this great post I wish everyone could understand the advantage of eating healthy especiacially Veg. We would have less sick people in this world but few care others don’t -sad but continue sending the message maybe someone will listen before it is too late.
Vegan is the way to go -I don’t understand why people choose unhealthy options -Then they start complaining of bad health-Always vegan forever vegan)-:
Owning a juicer is a great start. Get one of those juicers which can also prepare sorbets from frozen fruit, and nut butters. They are called masticating juicers, and are a great investment because they’ll do so much more than juicing. You can also find very good ones between 100$-200$.
