Benefits of being a vegetarian. A vegetarian is someone who doesn’t eat meant of any kind. No fish, no beef, no pork, nada. However this person may eat some animal products like honey, or eggs. A person can be a vegetarian for a number of reasons, moral, religious, or plain old dietary restrictions. Whether or not you’re a veggie, there are some benefits to this lifestyle, which we’ll explain coming up in this video!

Summary:
Vegans (total vegetarians): Do not eat meat, poultry, fish, or any products derived from
animals, including eggs, dairy products, and gelatin.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians: Do not eat meat, poultry, or fish, but do eat eggs and dairy products.
Lacto vegetarians: Eat no meat, poultry, fish, or eggs, but do consume dairy products.
Ovo vegetarians: Eat no meat, poultry, fish, or dairy products, but do eat eggs.
Partial vegetarians: Avoid meat but may eat fish (pescatarian) or poultry (pollo-vegetarian).
Sometimes people start off with becoming partial vegetarians, and then working your way up to full veggie, or vegan. LIke we said before, pick the one that works best for you and your personal choices.
Now, on to some great benefits of becoming a vegetarian.
1 - It’s just better for you: The fact that you’re choosing foods that are automatically less processed, and contain fewer chemicals means you’re being kinder to your body. We’re told from a very young age to eat our veggies, and by introducing them more into your diet, you’ll be giving you whole system the rush of vitamins and minerals it craves.

2 - Lowers your Cholesterol. Cholesterol only comes from consuming animal products, and some dairy. If you’re not eating any meat or full fat dairy products then you’re cutting out your cholesterol intake completely. HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL says having lower cholesterol has been shown to give you a longer life, and can reduce the risk of many chronic illnesses.

3 - Reduces the risk of diabetes. Because you’ll be eating things that are more natural, and less processed (like hot dogs) you’re likely to have lower blood sugar, reducing your risk of diabetes. Keep in mind, regular exercise is really important as well, but a plant-based diet can really make a difference.

4 - A healthy glow. Normally when people say you’re glowing it’s in reference to pregnancy. However, a vegetarian diet can help your skin appear more hydrated. Things like raw veggies that are water based will naturally put more water into your system. Also vegetables are packed with antioxidants that help fight off disease. The healthier you are inside, the more it’ll show on the outside.

5 - It’s good for your gut. You’ve probably heard the phrase “add more fiber” before. That’s because fiber keeps us regular, and is necessary for proper digestive health. Guess what has lots of fiber? Seeds! According to HEALTH LINE Chia seeds are one of the best sources of fiber on the planet! They also contain magnesium, phosphorus and calcium for an added benefit. Popcorn is also a great source of fiber. Not the stuff you buy at the movies, unfortunately that treat is usually dripping with butter and salt. We mean the kind you make at home, free of any extras. It’s a wonderful, quick and easy snack for a veggie.

We all have our go-to meals, the ones you just know won't disappoint! These are 5 of my meals that I eat all the time 😊 Maybe you'll feel inspired to try a new one 💚

Dr Michael Greger - How Not To Die

Michael Herschel Greger (born 1972) is an American physician, author, and professional speaker on public health issues, particularly the benefits of a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet and the harms of eating animal products.

In his lectures, videos, and writings about nutrition he tries to persuade people to change their eating habits from a Western pattern diet to a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet—optimally to vegan diet—and says that such a diet can prevent and reverse many chronic diseases. He is critical of other doctors for not challenging their patients to adopt plant-based diets and to avoid animal-based products and criticises the US government for giving watered-down advice about healthy eating in its guidelines, in order to protect the economic interests of food producers—especially those who make junk food or produce animal-based food.

On The Daily Climate Show with Anna Jones:

- could veganism be the answer to global warming? One group of scientists say that by stopping farming animals for food, greenhouse gas emissions would fall by the equivalent of a 68% reduction in carbon dioxide.
- and as the number of koalas declines around the world, there's some good news from Longleat Safari park as the first Southern Koala to be born in Europe emerges from his mother's pouch for the first time.

Activist Regan Russell was killed while trying to call attention to the cruelty of animal agriculture. This is her story.

65-year-old Regan Russell was killed by a pig transport truck in front of Sofina’s Fearmans slaughterhouse on June 19. She was at a Toronto Pig Save vigil with some other activists giving pigs water on one of the hottest days of the year.

That day, Regan Russell was opposing Ontario’s 'ag-gag' Bill 156, which had passed two days prior.

Some claim vegan pet food may be less palatable, or may compromise animal welfare. But are such claims actually true? In 2020 we surveyed dog or cat guardians asking about behaviours displayed by their pets at meal times. Analysis of the behaviour of 2,308 dogs and 1,135 cats revealed no significant differences overall, between animals fed vegan or meat-based diets (conventional or raw meat). Our results indicate that vegan pet foods are generally at least as palatable to dogs and cats as conventional meat or raw meat diets, and do not compromise their welfare, when other welfare determinants, such as nutritional requirements, are adequately provided. Full study: Knight A and Satchell L (2021). Vegan versus meat-based pet foods: OOwner-reported palatability behaviours and implications for canine and feline welfare.

Let's chat!! Today I wanted to talk about making the switch to a plant-based diet and what you can do to make it easier! Whether you haven't started yet, are on your journey, or a full blown vegan foodie, these tips can help you! What's your most helpful veganism hack?

Philip McCulloch-Downs is a vegan artist using his art to speak about animal rights. In this video we get an insight into what drives his work, what he hopes people feel after looking at it, and where it all began.
