The Vegan Lifestyle: Why It’s Healthier Not To Eat Animals
Digestion on a Vegan Diet
Obviously, when you change the way you eat, your digestion will need to adapt. First off, you are going to be consuming a lot of fiber, found in fiber-rich vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Because of this, you really need to drink a lot of water, at least two liters a day. If you don’t do this you may get gas, constipation, and bloating.
On the opposite side of the coin, if you are used to eating mainly meat and suddenly change to a fiber-rich diet with a lot of water, you may get severe diarrhea (in the beginning) as your body adjusts to the new change. It may take a few weeks until your body gets used to its new diet. As a rule, always keep hydrated, and keep a water bottle nearby. Find out one of the best things a vegan diet will do for your body!
