1) A diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in red meat is a protective factor agains CVD, type 2 diabetes, and even cancer! We all know someone if not many someones who has one of these chronic diseases. And I don't know about you but I like not having one of these, because living is Awesome!
2) You will feel great! The saying is true you are what you eat so why not eat great things to be great! Since being vegan I have found that I not only have more energy but I also sleep better and focus better.
3) You get to learn how to cook. I must admit I never cooked much from scratch before I was vegan but now I am always in the kitchen. It is so fun, I actually get to use my Pintrest recipe board
4) You can actually eat more. Because of a theory called volumetrics which explains how fruits and vegetables have less calories by volume than many other popular foods. Also they contain more of the nutrients that your body needs! So all this eating more makes you feel fuller which means you also feel happier.
5) Self mastery. Just think about it we can actually choose what we want to do! So that means choosing to treat our bodies well and using them the way we want to. No more being a slave to those donuts or that candy bar by the Walmart check register. When you control what you eat you can start to control other things in your life a little better to. Maybe you can control your temper better or if your like me you can start to control your sassy sarcasm a little more.
So try it! Take the Vegan challenge and enjoy the benefits!
