Vegan For Your Health
A vegan diet improves your health and helps prevent and treat several diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. By eating a vegan diet, you will feel better and happier, and best of all you won’t be contributing to animal abuse. When you don’t consume death, suffering, and animal abuse your whole-body changes and becomes healthier. You regain your true senses of smell and taste that you were born with because as a vegan you no longer eat dead rotting flesh that changed the way you smell and taste certain foods. Your eyes and skin clear up and you can even lose weight as a vegan if you chose to be a healthy vegan who eats healthy vegan food.
Diseases caused by meat eating
Meat eating causes cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, lung, skin, and breast cancer. It causes osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, acne, and diabetes. Meat, eggs, and dairy contain high cholesterol, and saturated fat which lead to clogged arteries, heart attacks, and strokes. Eating meat causes cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It causes Alzheimer’s as well as kidney and bladder diseases and E. coli, and salmonella, and gives you high blood pressure. Meat eating also causes Parkinson’s disease, obesity, and erectile dysfunction. By going vegan you can prevent and cure all these diseases.
Vegan For the Environment
By going vegan you save an estimated 1000 gallons of water per day, around 45 pounds of grain and 40 square feet of forested land, and the equivalent of 20 pounds of CO2 every day. Animal agriculture is one of the biggest reasons for climate change and is responsible for the destruction of the Amazon Rainforests. Vast amounts of trees are chopped down in the Amazon rainforests just to create land for grazing cattle that are farmed and raised just to be killed in order to create meat, hamburgers, and other animal-based products for people to consume and eat.
Forests globally, not just in the Amazon Rainforest but in other countries as well, including Africa and Asia, are also cut down and burned to the ground just to create land for animal agriculture. They are destroyed in order to graze cows and farm animals that are killed to produce meat. The meat is then sold in supermarkets around the world, including meat that is sold in your country in a supermarket near you. By eating meat people are literally contributing to the destruction of these amazing rainforests. By eating meat people are also contributing to the killings of vast amounts of endangered species that live in these beautiful rainforests. These endangered species depend on the rainforests to thrive and live their lives. The best way to help save all these animals and to save the environment as well as create a better global climate and save the world’s rain forests is to become vegan.
A vegan diet requires less fossil fuel, less water, and less land to grow and produce plants, vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes than a meat-based diet and produces far less CO2 than a meat-based diet. All the cows that are bred into existence for the sole purpose of being killed to produce meat, around the world, produce more methane than all the transportation methods on the planet. This includes all the cars, planes, trucks, ships, and trains on the planet combined.
Methane
Methane is a greenhouse gas emitted from different sources, such as wetlands, rice cultivation, fossil fuels, biomass burning, and from ruminant Animals such as cattle (cows), goats, sheep, deer, giraffes, camels, elk, and buffalo. There are approximately 1.5 billion cows in the world and as you may know, cows eat a lot and then emit methane when they digest food in their stomachs. There are bacteria that exist inside cattle that help them break down the grass they eat but in turn create methane, ammonia, and other gasses. One cow can produce more methane per day than the average pollution from one car. The methane that cows produce, which is a strong greenhouse gas, rises into the atmosphere and traps more heat from the sun than carbon dioxide. It is harmful to the environment because it warms up the atmosphere and contributes to climate change. It is the most destructive of all greenhouse gases.
By going vegan and not eating cows you’re in fact helping to reduce the number of cattle that are bred into existence for the sole purpose of being killed for beef. The fewer cows on the planet mean far fewer amounts of methane go up into the atmosphere which then helps to heal the earth and to create a better climate for every being living on this beautiful planet.
