Hot out of the oven...Veganism

(Adapted from: vegan planet by: Robin Robertson)

Note: Living Better Cafe is bring you Fresh out of the oven news, that you're going to love.  That no other blog source will ever  take you close into the story. I say more good reasons to love L.B.C, not only are you revising original recipes. You're also making them more healthier for you, while saving money in the long run.

** Just want to make this clear I am a meat eater, and I don't discriminate on anyone chose of eating lifestyle.

When it comes to different varieties of eating lifestyles, veganism is one source everyone seem to head for.
As most vegans will tell you, a diet without animal products can be good for your health.
There are more than 12 million vegetarians in the united States, it is estimated that nearly 50 percent made the choice for health reasons. Considering these 12 factors:

1.) A vegan diet has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, adult-onset diabetes, and osteoporosis.

2.) The journal of the American medical association has reported that a vegetarian diet can prevent 97 percent of coronary obstructions.

 3.) Osteoporosis is a disease of protein excess. The protein in milk actually inhibits the body's  ability to absorb the calcium from milk. Many plant based sources of calcium are easily assimilated into the body.

4.) Dairy consumption has been linked to heart disease, cancer (especially breast cancer), allergies, sinus trouble, migraines, and psoriasis.

 5.) Diary foods can create excess mucus in the body, which can host cold and virus germs in the respiratory tract.

 6.) Vegans and vegetarians tend to be slimmer than meat eaters.

 7.) Studies show that plant based diet can increase your life expectancy by 7 to 15 years.

8.) The feed given to livestock is sprayed with pesticides. More than 90 percent of the toxic chemical residues in foods consumed by Americans come from animal products.

 9.) More than 60 million pounds of antibiotics per year are fed to livestock. These are passed on to people in meat and diary products.  This results in a diminished effectiveness of antibiotics used to treat human illnesses.

 10.) Meat also contains bovine growth hormone, which can cause early maturity in children. 

11.) A vegan diet can reduce the risk of food poisoning. According to the center for disease control, campylobacter infects up to 90 percent of all chickens. In addition, each year up to 20,000 Americans become I'll from E.coli found in meat.

12.) Cornell university's long-term study of diet and health, called china project,  showed that 80 to 90 percent of all cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other forms of degenerative illness can be prevented by adopting a plant- based diet.
