Positive Aspects of Veganism

Being a vegan is a personal choice and everyone who makes that decision has their own reasons for it. Some reasons are for health purposes while others are engaged with vegan river cruises and eventually adopt this kind of diet after they find it satisfying. While it is true that a vegan diet is often lower in cholesterol, saturated fat and calories than any non-vegan diet, one should take into account all aspects of veganism before considering changing their eating habits.

Vegans shun not only animal products, but also anything that comes from an animal, such as honey or leather (which is the primary source in making sweaters, bags or wallets). As a result, they avoid eating meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and often any food that contains ingredients derived from animals, including gelatin, whey, casein and lactose. Below are some notable positive aspects of this lifestyle.

Nutritional Balance

One of the biggest criticisms of veganism is that a diet free of meat, eggs, and dairy products can lead to deficiencies in key nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, or omega-3 fatty acids. On the other hand, experts point out that the modern Western diet is already deficient in multiple vitamins and minerals due to soil depletion and over-processing of food.

A vegan diet can be very healthy if you make sure you are getting enough vitamins and nutrients. Research suggests that vegans suffer less from heart diseases than non-vegans do. This may be due to their lower cholesterol levels, which are associated with lower risk of heart disease. It may also be due to their higher intake of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, which have been linked to lower levels of inflammation in the body.

It's a Healthier Option That Is Also Better for the Environment

The impact of animal agriculture on the environment is shocking. In fact, animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined. Animal agriculture also uses a majority of our fresh water sources and is considered one of the leading contributors to world hunger.

Eating meat is incredibly detrimental to the environment, more so than driving cars or using electricity. Since animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, then switching from animal-based diets to plant-based diets would have the same impact as taking all cars off the road for a year. Moreover, producing meat also requires a lot of resources, including water and land, which could be put to better use growing crops for humans to eat (like fruits and veggies).

Animal Cruelty

Many people who eat meat do so partly because they love the taste. Others justify eating animals by claiming that it is healthier than a vegetarian diet. But if you care about cruelty to animals, veganism is the only way to be sure that you are not participating in it. It's impossible for vegans to purchase meat or any animal products from companies that hurt animals. And remember, just because the animals aren't dead doesn't mean they aren't suffering—in fact, it's even worse. Many animals are kept in tiny cages where they can barely move and forced to produce milk or eggs day after day until they become sick or die.

There are several reasons why some people choose to be a vegan and most of them witness the positive outcome of it. They could still enjoy most of the activities that non-vegans can and sometimes beyond that. Their culinary cruise vacations are enjoyable and guilt-free even when fruits and vegetables are on the table.
