A lot of us go vegan for ethical reasons. It's great to experience health benefits too!

In my case, I lost a lot of weight. I feel much better mentally and recover faster from exercise.

It's important to pay attention to the negative effects, too.

A vegan friend's gums receded to the point she needed a gum graft.

The problem wasn't being vegan, of course! The problem was she didn't pay close enough attention to nutrition. She had to learn more about plant-based substitutes for things she used to get from animal products.

Still a happy vegan a few years later 👍

Just curious, do you know what she was missing nutritionally?
