:kiss: Hello! Iv'e been vegan for 6 months, and vegetarian for 2 years! And since I made the switch to veganism, im SO MUCH MORE healthy! I was always slummish, now I have more energy, Iv'e lost 20 pounds with not much change in exersize, (which is none, i never exersized b4 really lol) And my asthma is alot better, im not as depressed as I used to be, and my complexion has improved! Im telling you, going vegan is the best thing you can do your yourself! Not to mention for the animals and the environment! :bobo: Its great because I went vegan for the animals, and just look at all the bonuses I got! I had no idea!:sunny: Do any of you have any health benifits you would like to share?

I stopped eating eggs and dairy products about two months ago (I hadn't eaten meat for about a year at that time), and I have this almost unexplainable feeling about the whole thing. It's refreshing, invigorating, energizing, almost like a rush!

Oh, this is about health improvements, though. :) I feel like my skin and hair look better. My body is about the same, but I've been a regular exerciser and calorie counter for a while.

My cholesterol dropped. It was 200 when I was lacto-ovo, and a few months after I went vegan it had gone down to 170! It's probably even lower now.

Since I stopped eating dairy, I've noticed a big difference with my allergies. I used feel conjested in every morning.... kind of phlemy (sorry to be gross...) but now it only happens if I'm near alot of dust.

Yo vegan chick! Funky coencidence how we both went vegatarian and vegan at the same time! lol
And Artichoke47, i TOTALY agree about feeling refreshed, invigorated, energized! It's so true! I almost feel as though i have a new outlook on the world! It is so totaly awesom!
And pip, I noticed the thing with my alergies too, my cat alergies drasticly improved! I used to not be able to go near a house with cats, now i can stay a few hours in a cat house lol! I love it! :vebo:
