10 Things That Happen in Our Body When We Go Vegan

6. You become more bloated.

Eating lots of veggies like brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cabbage may mean that you find that your stomach is filled with excess gas. This can leave you bloated, as your body is unable to process all the fibers. Therefore it is recommended that you drink plenty of water on a vegan diet to make sure that your digestive system is healthily digesting your food.

7. Your skin may be clearer.

What we eat can directly impact our skin. Studies suggest that plant-based diets can clear acne and in general improve the health of your skin. By restricting your intake of dairy and eating more foods that are natural antioxidants, you may be doing your skin a favor. It seems that eating a lot of dairy may negatively impact your skin because of the hormones and steroids naturally present in them.

8. Your body odor changes.

Although eating meat can make you release powerfully smelling toxins, vegetables and grains also change your smell. Some vegetables have a lot of natural sulphur in them, like cabbage and onions. When your diet includes many of these, your sweat and breath can start to smell like the food that is broken down in your body.

9. You have more energy.

It appears that a vegan diet can help your energy levels. Plant-based diets are easier for your body to digest, meaning that it isn’t so overworked. When your digestive system is working too hard you can feel lethargic and low on energy. Following a vegan diet can therefore mean that your energy levels are higher and you may notice that you are more productive during the day.

10. Your bones may fracture more easily.

A vegan diet can mean that you can have a lower level of calcium and vitamin D compared to non-vegans. This can leave you with a higher risk for osteoporosis, where your bone density is lower and they can fracture easier, according to a new study done by Oxford. They say that this is partly because vegans have a lower BMI, as they are more likely to have hip, leg, and vertebral fractures.
