Cutting out animal products also leads to a sort of mental clarity – which was totally unexpected! Even though I was vegetarian for a long time, going vegan was still a huge change and I felt SO MUCH better – not only about the choices I was making, but also just physically.

But as stated, so can every other diet. Veganism as a concept is a much healthier (for the reducing the risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes) that many other diets out there. Of course, if done incorrectly, binging on sodium laden pre-made foods all the time, obviously you will not reap the same benefits from the diet. As a recent vegan of about 2 years, I have never felt better eating a plant based diet.
