1) Life- Vegans on average live 6 years longer than non-vegans. 2) Good Cholesterol-The average vegan total cholesterol level is 128. 3) Only 2% of vegans are considered obese. 4) Reduced saturated fats. Dairy products and meats contain a large amount of saturated fats. By reducing the amount of saturated fats from your diet, you will improve your health tremendously, especially when it comes to cardiovascular health. 5) Fiber. A diet high in fiber (as vegan eating usually is) leads to healthier bowel movements. High fiber diets help fight against colon cancer. 6) Magnesium. Aiding in the absorption of calcium, magnesium is an often-overlooked vitamin in importance to a healthy diet. Nuts, seeds, and dark leafy greens are an excellent source of magnesium. 7) Protein. That protein is good for your body is no surprise. It may be a surprise to learn that most Americans eat too much protein and in forms such as red meat that are not healthy ways of getting protein. Beans, nuts, peas, and lentils are all great ways to get the right amount of protein in a vegan diet. 8) Environmental-Seven kilograms of grain are required to produce 1 kilogram of beef; the conversion is 4-to-1 for pork and 2-to-1 for poultry. Each kilogram of meat represents several kilograms of grain that could be consumed directly by humans, not to mention the water and farmland required to grow the grain. To put this in uncomplicated terms, the beef in a Big Mac represents enough wheat to produce five loaves of bread. Huge amounts of food - not to mention the water and farmland required to grow the food - can be freed up by modest reduction in meat production. For example, if the 670 million tons of the world's grain that is fed to livestock were reduced by 10 percent, the resulting grain could feed 225 million people or keep up with growth in the human population over the next three years. 9) Ethical & Humane Treatment of Animals- Animal cruelty is predominant throughout the world, in slaughterhouses, egg and dairy industries, and animal testing labs. 10) You are in Good Company! Top entertainers, authors, musicians, political figures, athletes, and other notable people are living examples of how to be at your best and contribute to making the world a better place.
