Im 38 years old and since going plant-based (vegan), Ive never been healthier. I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian before that and I was still always sick, always had the flu, always borderline anemic and chalked it all up to just having an unexplained weak immune system. Turns out it was all that dairy I was consuming. Since cutting out all animals and animal products from my diet 3 years ago, I have not gotten the flu once so far, I feel healthier than ever and I have more energy than I thought I ever could. I also build muscle mass so much easier because Im not depending on acidic proteins that require an insane amount of energy to digest. Im consuming easily absorbed proteins that dont deplete calcium from my bones and are excellent sources of complex carbs and fiber, unlike animal products. Even according to my family doctor, based on my last physical, Im her healthiest patient. My only regret is that I didnt go vegan way before.
