Why I Choose to be Vegan...A million reasons.

I thought for my first blog post I would explain why I chose to be vegan. This is a question that I am faced with so often and I still never know quite how to answer. The first thing that usually blurts out of my mouth when I make an attempt to answer that question is "for a million reasons!". That really is the truth, there are so many reasons and I find new ones daily.


The first reason is because I believe that living authentically involves aligning your actions with what your values are. I want to live with compassion, with an open heart, prepared to learn new things. I want to take care of what has been given to us(the Earth), and not take things for granted but live in a place of gratitude. I know that being vegan supports compassion, is the most environmentally positive change that you can make, I know that it is the healthiest decision I can make for my physical body as well. One of the changes that I never expected was having a clear conscious about what I was eating, knowing that nothing was harmed, knowing that what is on my plate are the best things that I could be putting into my body! The truth is there are no negatives with going vegan, everything is positive. It's good for me, good for you, good for the animals, and good for the environment!


One last thing, can I just encourage you to get educated about your own health. What we feed our bodies is so important. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! This is YOUR life And YOUR Health! Make no excuses!
