Final Copy (500 words)Your Body Will Thank You January is a time for resolutions and new beginnings so instead of attempting to give up chocolate or promising yourself a gym membership why don’t you try something new and give Veganuary a go. There are many health benefits that come when you follow a vegan diet; Veganuary provides a range of relevant information encouraging you try veganism for a month. The benefits are so good; you may even welcome this lifestyle as a permanent change. Going vegan will provide a number of health benefits Not only are you highly likely to lose a few pounds from your healthy eating but your skin is also likely to become clearer; nuts and vitamins help to give you strong and healthy skin, hair and nails, increasing your confidence and helping you to feel revived.Another benefit comes from drinking green tea and ginger tea rather than breakfast tea with cow’s milk, the contents of these help to boost your digestion; yet another health benefit of the vegan lifestyle. Bodily odor is produced because of bacteria build up, by cutting red meat out of your diet, you will produce less of this bacteria making you feel and smell cleaner. Premenstrual syndrome is exhausting and you can find yourself both mentally and physically struggling. An animal product free lifestyle can reduce the pain and discomfort you may be feeling at that time of the month. PMS can be helped with prescription medication, but why use unnatural sources when the solution is right in front of you? The vegan diet offers low levels of fats, salt, sugar and caffeine meaning it can reduce the intensity of PMS and in some cases, make the sleepless nights, back pain and stomach cramps non-existent. Meat can carry disease, drugs / hormones, bacteria, pesticides / chemicals, parasites, fat & cholesterol. So why take the risk when you can eat vegan? A lifestyle cutting out meat can lower a high blood pressure, meaning you’re less likely to have heart problems, the likelihood of a stoke occurring is also decreased and your kidney health is boosted these benefits are also accompanied by the possibility of improved vision.Another health benefit to add to the list is the decreased likeliness of developing arthritis. Approximately 8 million people in the UK are affected by arthritis, scientists have conducted research and have found that arthritis can be less likely to occur to those who have eliminated gluten from their life.When comparing animal eaters to those who don’t consume animal produce, cancer is also less likely to develop, meaning vegans have the lowest number of cases amongst those who don’t consume our animal friends. A reverse of the illness has also been known to occur from the conversion to a Vegan lifestyle.After hearing about all of these health benefits which following the vegan lifestyle can provide I hope I have encouraged you to give it a go and take part in this year’s Veganuary. You won’t be disappointed!
