Being vegan is still thought to be so absurb in the world today. "Thats for the hippies and the tree huggers". But is it really all that crazy?
Think about it. All vegan is, is eating plants and things that grow in nature. The crazy people should be the ones who eat animal flesh and the liquid that comes out of their bodies!
I will get into the nitty gritty at some point on my blog but I really wanted to open up on why I went vegan and why you should too.
When I was 16 years old I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease. It has since become more commonly known but in case you havent heard of it, in short, its a inflammatory bowel disease that is literally a pain in the arse.
Its been 8 years now and I was still in the worse comfort and missing out on a lot of things because of it. After watching the documentaries on Netflix and wanting to follow in my healthy brothers footsteps, i decided to make the switch and go vegan.
It legitimately only took 2 weeks for my inflammation in my intestines to go down, the blood in my stool to go away, my weight to go down, and my stomach pain to diminish. TWO WEEKS!
Its been a month now since I have been fully vegan and I couldnt even convey through words how much better I feel and how much more energy I have.
Now, I get the question all the time "Isnt it hard to not eat dairy and meat? Isnt it expensive? How are you getting protein and all your nutrients? Etc. People when you think about what your actually putting in your mouth and in your digestive system, then it doesnt become hard to cut those things out of your diet! No its not expensive, its actually cheaper. I mean cmon youre mainly buying rice and beans! Rather than your $30 pack of meat! And yes, im probably getting more nutrients than those chemically enhanced products that I was eating!
I truly believe that I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease because of the food that I grew up on. I feel as though the food processong companies are doing worse and worse things little by little that is recking our bodies and I want to encourage every single person to make the switch with me and be healthy for the long life that we deserve to live!!!
Until next time 🌱
