If you\u2019ve ever watched the documentary Supersize Me <\/em>then you\u2019ll know the effects fast food can have on your physical and mental health. There are other documentaries too, like Cowspiracy <\/em>and What the Health? <\/em>dramatising the impact eating meat and dairy can have on the environment, and revealing the \u2018truth\u2019 behind health organisations. All three make for some brilliant TV but the simple reality is that living vegan, even if only for a short amount of time, is really beneficial for you and our beloved Earth. And what better time to experiment with veganism than Veganuary?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A meat and dairy-free diet is better for the planet because feeding vegans requires way less energy and farmland. Meat production and animal byproducts put a strain on our resources.

In other news, because you can\u2019t rely on meat, fish, eggs or cheese anymore you\u2019ll have to replace these foods with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, peas, nuts and seeds – new sources of nutrition. With that, you\u2019ll probably improve your overall health and see positive changes: expect glowing skin and more energy!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to start<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re going to have to take some food groups away from your diet, most likely foods that you\u2019ve become very fond of over the years, whether that\u2019s meat, cheese or chocolate. But guess what? Meat substitutes are available, vegan cheeses are a plenty and you can find eggless cakes too! What a time to be alive.

Fitness fanatic? Don\u2019t sweat it – from pea protein to hemp protein, there\u2019ll no stopping you. And just in case you\u2019re still worried, know that world tennis star sisters Serena and Venus Williams have been vegan since 2011!

If there\u2019s a particular type of food you\u2019re not ready to part ways with, say milk, try transitioning ALL other non-vegan foods to vegan alternatives and get really comfortable with them before the last hurdle.\u00a0
