Embracing a plant-based lifestyle comes with numerous benefits for your health, the environment, and even animal welfare.

You can have many reasons for going Plantbased. But whatever the reason is, you will find several benefits in your decision.

1. Health Benefits: Plantbased can reduce risk of chronic diseases, improved heart health, and increased energy levels. It can help you have better recovery after working out.

2. Environmental Impact: A plantbased lifestyle can contribute to sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water, and preserving biodiversity.

3. Saving animals from being tortured and killed. This was my main reason next to the health benefits.

4. Transitioning to a Plantbased lifestyle isn’t as hard as people make it sound. Just don’t cook animal products. Some say they can’t give up cheese, then eat cheese and go plantbased everywhere else in your diet. Then down the road maybe try and move off cheese. Research what animals go through for you to have that cheese and venture out and try Plantbased cheeses. As with anything, some are good and some are not. But if you can’t go off cheese, then that is okay and don’t let anyone make you feel like a failure.

Food seems to be a trigger for some and when they hear you are Plantbased some become your nutritionist asking the same old question, “how do you get your protein?” The answer is plants, legumes, tofu etc.. I like to ask them how they get their antioxidants.

I enjoy a Plantbased life. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I still like milk chocolate. I do look for vegan chocolate but sometimes it isn’t.

Live your life. Eat plants and feel great.
