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.

I had chronic GERD (heartburn/indigestion) that was really bothersome.

It went away pretty much immediately upon going vegan. It was definitely the dairy because I was vegetarian before.

I also do a lot of physical activity that's hard on my body, and find recovery has gotten better.
