Every vegan has a different story as to why they chose to give up eating meat and animal by-products like dairy and eggs. The road to relying on plant-based meals takes a lot of trial and error but many vegans swear this is the best decision they have ever made. Not only does it stop the cruel and abusive practices of factory farming, it also contribute to a sustainable food source, and reduces greenhouse emissions. Research has shown that plant based eating reduces heart disease, stroke, diabetes, fights obesity, and can prevent some cancers. Tracye McQuirter, a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) best-selling author, and a 30-year vegan says that going vegan is not just about eating healthy and global preservation, it is an act of “self-love.” Belinda White has seen the benefits of turning to a diet where she only relies on fruits.A regular meal can consist of a variety of fruits like mangoes, oranges, cherries, avocados, and tomatoes.
Avoiding any meat, or meat by-products has many benefits but there is another perk from eating fruits only that many are not be aware of.
Except the mother of three and grandmother to one is 46 years old.
For the doubters, White swears she has never had any plastic surgery. Her explanation is simple, “I am the female Benjamin Button.”
“To be intimate with someone and share the body smells,” she says. “When you become a vegan, especially when your diet is clean, you don’t have the same BO or breath.”
“I just felt old. I couldn’t get up the stairs because I was in so much pain due to the osteoarthritis in my hips and I was on three different pills a day,” she says. He cellulite has also disappeared since she relies on fruits only for her meals.
She said she learned that people are”conditioned and brainwashed as children to eat this way.”
“I feel like I have turned the clock backwards. It’s incredible. I look like I’m 28 but I’m 46,” explains White.
