Why being Vegetarian / Vegan is the way to go

I must admit 1 month ago I would have completely dismissed the idea of going Vegetarian, let alone going Vegan.

Though, I think we all need to have an open mind. We must be able to make choices based on facts and to be the healthiest you can be.

What is the Definition of being Vegetarian and Vegan?
Vegetarian is not eating any meat from red meat, poultry and seafood. Can still eat eggs and dairy.

Vegan is not eating anything derived from an animal.

So what has helped me make this choice? .... A few things but mainly a few documentaries on how animals are manufactured to cater for our needs. 

The first documentary I watched was, Earthlings. One word SHOCKING!

The second documentary I watched which really made me think, was this video called "Vegucated". 

Its really important to let you know that Its not about being an Animal Activist or Animal Equality. Its all about giving your body the best nutrition possible to live a healthy life.

After watching these videos, you realise that eating flesh from an animal is not the way to go to be healthy. Im not saying eating Animal flesh is not healthy, its the way that Animal flesh has come about and you can see from these documentaries that its not natural and not clean.

So I made a choice about a month ago to begin a journey where I will try to be as close to Vegan as possible. That means to be at least Vegetarian.

There is also a study, called the "The China Study" which shows that people who ate more plant based foods were less likely to get diseases like heart disease and some cancers. Here is another video about this study.

I think its taking Health to another level, though, if you really value your health, than making sure you eat CLEAN food is the best choice.

I can say that the last month has not been a big change, its just a choice to choose a healthier alternative. It has also encourage me to cook vegan meals which previously I wouldn't even think of cooking. I feel inspired and passionate about making sure my family gets healthy meals.

By changing to a Vegan or Vegetarian diet, combined with the healthiest nutrition in the world in Herbalife Nutrition and regular exercise I know I can live a Healthy & Active lifestyle.
