There are so many health benefits one can expect when he or she goes vegan. So many people use to suffer from diseases that are very closely linked to their diet habits and in many more times they don’t even realize it. The key to live a healthy life or to restore one’s health is in almost any case a proper way of nutrition.
There’s no doubt that veganism is on the rise and so many people have already jumped on the bandwagon. However, a survey that was conducted by The Guardian gave very interesting insights about the time people decided to go vegan. In fact, it was conducted to find out at what age they turned vegan.
About ten years ago, when people started to go vegan they used to face some challenges when it came to replace food they used to eat with vegan alternatives. However, by now there are so many ways to replace animal products by very delicious and healthy options that going vegan has been made really easy in comparison to earlier years.
About three weeks ago, I received shocking news. The wife of a very good friend of mine had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is such a wonderful woman that it broke my heart to hear about that. After I had heard about it I told him not to rely on chemotherapy as it is toxic to the body claiming to heal cancer but in fact destroys not only cancerous but also healthy cells causing people to suffer more from the side effects than from the disease itself.
Have humans really been designed to eat meat or is meat-eating something that rather derives from family habits and cultural traditions? That’s the issue Marta Zaraska discusses in her book saying that human beings were never supposed to be carnivores at all. In fact, her thesis becomes even more explosive facing the increasing demand for meat not only in North America and Europe but much more in Asia and especially in China where meat consumption has even quadrupled since 1980.
People who are familiar with the conditions in the meat industry know that they are pretty tough. However, this report exceeds any imagination saying that workers are being prevented from going to the bathroom if they need to while they are supposed to work on the processing line. That’s why they are forced to wear diapers in order to avoid going to the bathroom.
Although this company makes so much money that it would never need to offer any dairy-free products to respond to the increased customers’ demand for vegan food and beverages they took the chance and jumped on the vegan bandwagon. Bailey’s has recognized that the plant-based food industry is currently one of the most growing industries and that it would be a dramatic mistake if they didn’t offer milk alternatives to have their share of the pie.
If people had been told that there would be a hospital in this “cattle country” promoting a vegan diet, it would have sounded unbelievable. However, it became reality that the Midland Memorial Hospital started to promote a diet based on plant-based foods in order to help its patients prevent and cure disease.
Reading the story of this man who had suffered from several health issues while his doctors were in the dark reminded me of so many people who are so often left helpless after attending their physician. This man describes how his health deteriorated gradually and the only answer of his physician was to cut off salt and to do some exercises.
Very interestingly, quite a lot of people keep their vegan lifestyle somehow a secret. It seems that they want to avoid any discussion to justify their decision why they use to live as vegans. Although they are, in fact, the ones who endeavor honestly to live a life that respects and cherishes animals by choosing a vegan diet they somehow feel to be more the victim than the victor because of peer pressure.
