Why You Should Go Vegan & 7 Easy Vegan Recipes

Surely you hear more and more talk about the world of veganism, right? It is a lifestyle that, although it has existed for years, it has not been until very recently that it has become popular. But, although you think you know EVERYTHING about this lifestyle, lets look into why so many people are going vegan nowadays..

The first vegan was the philosopher Pythagoras. One of the first and most famous vegans was the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras who lived during the 6th century B.C. In addition, Plato, Da Vinci, Tolstoy and Voltaire, and other historical figures were also vegan and had a plant-based diet. Did not you know?

Being vegan is not just about food. The main feature is that vegan people substitute food and animal products for other healthy and ecological alternatives. The vast majority of them reject any type of animal product and that is why they not only have to think about what they are eating, but also in clothes and cosmetics since leather and some ingredients come from animals.

A vegan's diet is not always healthy. Did you think being vegan is very healthy? Well, not quite. Yes, it is true that many more vegetables and fruits are eaten in the vegan diet, which helps prevent some diseases and be healthier, but certain ultra-processed foods with excess fats, sugars or salt are also accepted in a vegan diet. Consuming too much plant based protein cookies will have the same effects of eating too much regular cookies.

Being vegan doesn't make you lose weight either. As we have just commented, there are foods such as sweets, fried and desserts in the diet of vegans who are not healthy at all, so eating vegan does not mean losing weight. Also, although the meat has a lot of fat, there are many diets to lose weight that include it.

Vegans have a better sex life than those who eat meat. According to some research it has been proven that by eliminating red meat from the diet, body odor is more sensual. Surprise! In addition, in other recent studies, it was found that vegan people have a better sex life than carnivores. For what is this? This occurs because some plants positively influence some hormones involved in sexual performance.

Although, did you know that vegans have to use specific condoms? Normal condoms are made with casein, a protein that comes from milk and serves to make the latex softer and more elastic. Luckily, in the contraceptive market, there are more and more laboratories that produce condoms suitable for vegans.

Would you like to consume more vegetables, but you don't know how? These recipes will help you achieve your goal, while discovering the richest side of plant-based food.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
