The suffering of animals, whether cows, chickens, or fish, is one of the primary reasons why many people around the world choose to eat a vegan diet. Every living being, regardless of whether they are useful to humans, has rights and deserves to have their best interests considered. We can alleviate the unnecessary suffering and deaths of countless animals, as well as the irreparable damage done to the earth, such as air and water pollution, land erosion, waste of precious energy, and deforestation, by shifting to a plant-based diet.
The Advantages of a Vegan Diet
Vegan diet reduces unnecessary suffering and killing in the world, while also increasing compassion for all living beings and a sense of lightness in oneself. It's not difficult to see how this makes chemical and biological sense, because when any animal is stressed or killed, hormones are released and become lodged in the meat you eat. Being a vegan helps to protect other animals that are used and killed for human purposes.
Vegan diet is healthier and may help to prevent disease. Vegetarians are less likely to develop heart disease, obesity, colon cancer, adult-onset diabetes, osteoporosis, gout, gallstones, kidney stones, lung cancer, or breast cancer, according to the American Dietetic Association.
Vegan diet have the smallest possible environmental impact. According to a 2016 report on food and climate published in the academic journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, if everyone went vegan, the world's food-related emissions would be reduced by 70% by 2050.
What is the best way to go Vegan?
Maintain your end goal in mind, but proceed at your own pace. Some people are able to go vegan overnight, which is fantastic if that is the best approach for you. But don't worry if you believe you require more time. Going vegan, like any other lifestyle change, takes some getting used to, as well as time to figure out what works best for you.
One of the simplest ways to increase the amount of plant-based foods in your diet is to make small changes to your everyday meals. You could begin by eliminating meat or dairy one day per week and work your way up from there. You could also experiment with changing one meal at a time, such as having vegan breakfasts the first week, adding a vegan lunch the second week, and so on. You can also experiment by making some of your favorite recipes plant-based by replacing meat in your favorite chili with beans or lentils, make some delicious veggie burgers, or make vegetables the star of that stir fry in place of chicken.
