WHAT IS VEGANISM?
Veganism is an ideology that is against animal cruelty and exploitation in any form- food, cosmetics , clothing & entertainment. So, being a vegan means adopting a lifestyle that consciously excludes the use of animals or animal related products.
You might be at any point in your diet journey, perhaps you are considering veganism. Or you are following it but with struggle. No matter where you are in your journey , here are top 4 reasons why you should consider veganism
WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER VEGANISM?
1. Less carbon footprint
According to Oxford University, going vegan is the ‘single biggest’ way you can reduce your environmental impact on the planet.
2. Healthier and Happier
Vegans are less likely to develop heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure mostly because their source of nutrients come from plant based sources. And so they are not struggling to digest or burn animal fat.
3. Prevent Weight Gain
4. Kinder to other lives
3. Prevent Weight Gain
Obesity is by product of our lifestyle and food choices. A Vegan’s diet is entirely plant based. This means more fiber intake. Fiber aids easy digestion.
On a Vegan diet, you will also consume lesser calories. As long as you eat fresh, nutritious fruits, vegetables, lentils, beans, nuts and seeds. So, it’s much easier to lose or maintain weight.
According to PETA, more than 100 million animals are used in the USA alone for experiments. Animal testing could mean burning skin, administering drugs or toxic substances that could leave animals traumatised , infected with diseases , sometimes even dead.
Apart from consuming animals for food, many are used to test products as well.Testing cosmetics on animals is an unkind process. These animals are also confined to small cages and kept in conditions that most humans would call torture, if inflicted upon them.
Why use products when you know animals are put under a lot of distress and suffering? Cruelty free products are healthier and less toxic.
