We all want to feel special and we all want to feel what we are doing will be massively interesting to other people. This is basic human nature. As children, many people learn that to complain about their health can attract a sympathetic ear. Many people bring this thinking to their adult life and assume that telling others they are unwell is a good way to make friends.
If you want to be healthy you need to eat a balanced diet, mange your weight, exercise regularly, balance your stress with down time, avoid alcohol and drugs, and get plenty of sleep. A vegan diet is a wonderful way to get a balanced diet. It is also an excellent way to manage your weight at a healthy level. A vegan diet may help you sleep better also, if you focus on natural foods. But regardless of the fact you are vegan, if you want to be healthy you need to eat a balanced diet, mange your weight, exercise regularly, balance your stress with down time, avoid alcohol and drugs, and get plenty of sleep.
Many people in society today eat nutrient-poor processed food, are over-weight, do not exercise, proudly seek out a high-stress lifestyle, drink or drug themselves to deal with the stress, and do not get enough sleep. This is not healthy. It is also common to hear from people living this unhealthy lifestyle to say, a few weeks into their vegan journey, that they are not feeling well and need to eat meat. They think it is veganism that is causing their problems. It isn’t. They problem is their lifestyle. If you want to be healthy, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle. Veganism can be a major part of this.
The phase ‘pudding vegan’ is often used to describe a person that does not eat meat, dairy, eggs, or fish, and just lives on junk-food. Whilst this is technically vegan, they do not get the health benefits they would get from a balanced vegan diet.
