Shorter Stints of Veganism Can Help Your Health in the Following Ways
You don’t have to forgo eating meat for the sake of health
I choose not to consume animal protein — but that’s not saying it is wrong to do so.
Everyone has their nutritional preferences and is accountable for making their own decisions.
I recommend adding a lot more vegetables into your diet, which may mean eliminating a couple of meat days per week.
That small window of opportunity to go all-in on veganism will not harm your health; it will enhance it in so many ways.
I did this recently during the Orthodox Easter period when I became more intent on making particular days completely vegan for my daughter.
I didn’t hear her complain, and she immensely enjoyed the food.
It gave her body and stomach a break from the constant overfeeding of meats.
So, if you do think your family (especially teenagers) might protest — give it a try with one meal, and then add a few more as time progresses.
I guarantee that they may not even notice! As long as the dish is delicious, no one cares!
