On the fence about embracing veganism? Here are 20 reasons why becoming a vegan is the best decision you’ll ever make…
- You’ll stop animals from being exploited
- You’ll have more energy
- Your skin will look better … it will GLOW
- You’ll be less likely to develop obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer
- You’ll dramatically reduce your carbon footprint
- You’ll be taking better care of the planet – not just animals
- You’ll help to save endangered species from extinction (meat production = deforestation = lost habitats = lost species)
- You’ll be doing your part to make sure EVERYONE on the planet gets the food they need
- You’ll be doing more than vegetarians by taking a stand against the egg and dairy industries
- You’ll actually save money on your food, which means you’ll have more to do all the other awesome things you love
- On average, you’ll be saving the lives of over 50 animals each year
- You will still get to enjoy the world’s best grilled cheese sandwiches and cupcakes (even in non-vegan competitions, vegan chefs are kicking butt and taking names!)
- You’ll reduce the likelihood of consuming antibiotics and hormones (YUCK! … and super dangerous)
- You’ll give your immune system a huge boost (say goodbye to the common cold!)
- You’ll have more endurance, less “sluggishness” and more focused energy
- You’ll smell better naturally (think breath and armpits)
- Your digestion will improve
- You’ll meet an awesome community of other vegans (and share recipes, too!)
- You’ll be less achy and experience less muscle pain (uric acid and lactic acid produced as a by-product of your body consuming meat causes your muscles to recover slower)
- Your sex drive will be amazing
