Now we're gonna go over a second reason you can go vegan : health!
the wealth of research and information on the health
for being vegan is absolutely astounding.
The little tidbits i'm about to go over
don't even come close to scratching the surface.
Let's start with a list of diseases from a diet rich in animal products.
High cholesterol,coronary heart disease,
diabetes,stroke,obesity
asthma *snoring*
high blood pressure,large bowel disorders,various cancers
gallstones,coronary artery disease
osteoporosis,kidney disease and dementia.
Vegans have a ridiculously lower incidence
of the diseases that i just mentioned.
But wait,i have the perfect argument here: i know this one person
that went vegan...and they died!
...
*crickets*
before you contribute this live changing nugget of research,
just take a moment, and think about the significance of that statement.
Well,if veganism was so healthy
and eating animals was so detrimental,
wouldn't doctors be saying something about this?They are
and no,they're not hippie doctors or gym healers,these are medical doctors.
Dr T.Colin Campbell has spend over
40 years as a scientific researcher doing federal funding studies
for organisations such at the American Institute for Cancer Research.
The American Cancer Society and the National Institutes of Health.
Dr Campbell says :"Other research shows that various cancers,autoimmune diseases,
bone health,kidney health,vision and brain disorders in old age
like cognitive dysfunction and Alzheimer's
are convincingly influenced by diet.
Most importantly,the diet that has time and again been shown to reverse
and/ or prevent these diseases is the same whole foods
plant based diet that i had found to promote optimal health
in my laboratory research and in the China Study.
Then there's the fact that 95% of all food poisining
is related to animals products.
And then we have things like the swine flu and the bird flu
and the mad cow scare,have you ever heard of
a mad melon scare??As Gary Yourofsky says:lettuce
doesn' ***! Now for the men out there,i know that you're thinking
well,i have to be manly and virile and so i need to
eat meat.Think about this,animal products are high in fat
diets high in fat restrict blood flow
in the body.Blood flow,think about it,is absolutely essential
for your most manly of man organs,in other words
vegan do it harder and longer.
Let's be honest,what is most convincing is a good before and after story
Oobie wasn't always vegan,so let's take a look
on the difference that this diet has made in her life.
Here she is before vegan and here
the radical change after.
If that isn't enough to convince you,here are some people who are vegan
So,maybe you don't care about animals or about the environment
or feeding the hungry,do it for the most american
no,the most human reason:
your ego! So that wraps up our little nugget on health
I'm headed to the gym,Oobie's gonna rest and we'll see you next time
for the third reason to go vegan.
