CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Adopting a vegan diet is nothing new in western culture. Many people choose to shun meat and dairy for ethical, religious or health reasons.
But could the benefits of this way of living help you?
In case you didn’t know a vegan is a person who neither uses nor consumes animal products. Chances are you know one.
Many people experience benefits from this style of eating.
Which could be the reason the number of faithful vegans is on the rise.
In the U.K alone, there has been a 350% increase in veganism since 2008.
The plant-based diet that shuns meat and dairy can have a positive impact on your health if done properly.
Within the first few weeks new vegans notice an energy boost.
As long as you’re staying away from processed foods and carbs your gut health can improve too.
After several months that decrease in processed foods has also been credited with clearing up acne.
On the down side the vitamin D stored up from consuming meat is being depleted.
Make sure to counteract this by taking vitamin D supplements especially in the winter.
For those who decide to be vegan permanently remember to consume foods rich in calcium or take supplements.
This will keep your bones strong as you get older.
