Begin a Vegan Lifestyle for Better Health

Beginning a vegan lifestyle for better health is based more on a person’s desire to have a lifestyle change than going on a diet. Vegans adopt this lifestyle based on their belief in animal rights.

Products made from animals such as leather, wool, and down are also not used by vegans. The testing on animals and the process by which the products derived are something that vegans do not believe in. They believe that animals were created to live peacefully alongside humans.

The environment also plays a factor in adopting a vegan way of life for some people. When livestock is farmed, vegans feel that the process is inefficient due to the production taking resources people could use to produce crops. The acceleration of  topsoil erosion which lowers crop productivity, is thought by vegans to be an effect of livestock farming.

There are many health benefits associated with becoming vegan including less risk of developing health risks such as cancer, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. It was found through a study of half a million people that red meat eaters died more prematurely than those who did not consume red meat or processed meat. It is the vegan’s thought that humans were not meant to consume cow’s milk because of the difference of protein content found in cow’s milk than the proteins found in human milk.
