Arthritis? Go Vegan!

If you’re vegan, or heading that way, you know that it’s a great lifestyle – for the animals, the environment and your health. It now turns out that a dose of the good stuff could also help cases of arthritis (painful inflammation of the joints - no fun at all). According to the Daily Mail, ditching ‘bad cholesterol’ which is found in animal products, and munching down on a decent amount of fruit, veg and other natural vegan food boosts ‘levels of natural antibodies to fight compounds in the body that are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis’. Indeed.

Apparently, there are around 400,000 Britons suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but if those 400,000 people go vegan, that’s a LOT of soothed joints and a LOT of animals saved, don’tcha think?

This is so true! I have had arthritis since I was 2 years old (called Junior Rheumatoid Arthritis) and I had been on pain medication and anti-inflammatory medication most of my life. Two years ago I went vegetarian, then vegan. I am happy to say that I have no more symptoms! I can’t say enough for eating a meat-free diet!
