The Future is Vegan: Why 2023 is the Year to Adopt a Plant-Based Diet

Updated: Jun 29, 2023

Going vegan can be a great decision for both personal and planetary health. In 2023, more and more people will adopt a vegan lifestyle for the following reasons:



  1. Environmental sustainability: Animal agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. By avoiding animal products, and switching to a vegan diet we can help mitigate some of the worst effects of climate change and reduce our carbon footprint.

  2. Health benefits: A well-planned vegan diet can provide all the nutrients a person needs and may even reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

  3. Animal welfare: Many people chose to go vegan out of concern for the welfare of animals. This was in fact the main reason my wife and I chose to go vegan. Factory farming, in particular, can be incredibly cruel and inhumane. By not consuming animal products, vegans can choose to not support these practices.

Changing your lifestyle to a vegan one can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start by incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet and experimenting with different vegan food options. Replace your favourite animal-based products with alternatives.

It's important to remember that going vegan isn't just about giving up meat and dairy, it's about choosing to make a difference for the environment, animals, and your own health.

It's also important to note that transitioning to a vegan lifestyle can be done in a way that is healthy and nutritionally sound. Ideally, you should consult a health professional or nutritionist before fully committing to veganism to ensure you are getting enough nutrients and to address any dietary needs you may have.

Overall, Veganism can be a great choice for those looking to make a positive impact on their health, animals and the environment. It's a matter of personal choice and can be done however works for you. And with delicious options like Nama Café, going vegan has never been more delicious and satisfying.
