My wife and I have always had a fairly healthy diet, consuming both plant and animal products. However due to health issues we are open and have tried different eating habits. For now, we have decided due to evidence based findings to give a vegan diet a try.
Veganism sounds like the way to go. Here are some claimed reasons for it
Zero animal fats. Animal fats have been linked to a range of illnesses and conditions, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, heart disease, and various cancers. Lower cancer risk. Bone health. Heart health.
We first started the process of Veganism with reducing the amount of animal products in our diet. As we have never really been a fan of dairy products that was easy. We swapped the milk we have in coffees with coconut milk. We loved it.
Here is our latest shop. We have some almond milk, coconut oil, nuts and veggies. Normally we would go for coconut milk just because we prefer it.
Then the next step was to not have any meat for the week. We have had our first week of no meat intake.
We have had no problem with this.. Energy levels have not changed and we haven't had any other issues of significance. So far, we have been enjoying the change. In time I'm sure we will be able to give you an update on our dietary experiment.
One thing we are doing different to Veganism is eating our free range eggs from the three hens we own.
We look forward to discovering whether there ends up being noticeable improvements in our quality of life. Thanks for reading!
