Reflection on veganism (my history)
It all started when I was 20 years old, I was of good physical build, and I was training in the gym. Start consuming drinks, and metabolism acceleration foods. As time passed, I began to suffer from high blood pressure and the heart muscle had thickened.
It was there, when I knew that my life had to change, and to start a diet that would not cause harm to health. I met some colleagues who told me about being a vegan. I started eating and preparing dishes of this food and it was so I became a vegan.
Veganism is not only changing the habit of eating, it is a way of life. The mere fact that it respects the life of every being that breathes is something gratrifying.
For me being vegan is a philosophy of life, where animals have a fundamental role.
Reasons to lead a vegan life:
1.-VEGAN FOR ANIMALS
Animals are sentient beings and therefore have the right to life.
2.-FOR HEALTH
A balanced vegan diet can increase the energy level, make your skin look younger, improve your digestion and reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer.
3.-BY THE PLANET
The production of meat and its by-products has a very great weight on our planet. Immense amounts of water and grains are required to feed the animals.
4.-FOR HUMANITY
Veganism is a sustainable way to live and it is also a more effective way to feed the human family. A vegan diet requires only one third of the earth needed to maintain an omnivorous diet.
5.-BY LIVING AND ENJOYING A CONSCIOUS LIFE AND FEEDING
There are many vegan recipes that you can enjoy taking care of animals, your health, the planet and humanity. Living vegan is an adventure like no other.
Last year in my cardiology clinic, I feel very healthy and I owe that to veganism.

Make a vegan, change the world.
I have been vegan for 2.5 years now, and I have never felt better! It's much better to be conscious of what you are eating and how that is impacting your body and even the environment.
Would you say that going vegan reversed the high blood pressure and heart muscle thickening? Do you eat a whole food plant based diet or do you also eat processed vegan foods?
