Adopting a vegan diet isn’t as easy as it looks. Here are 5 vegan entrepreneurs to look up to for inspiration.
Veganism is no longer considered eccentric or extreme thanks to mainstream acceptance. The positive impacts—both personal and environmental—of going on an entirely plant-based diet are getting recognized more and ‘going vegan’ is supposedly the biggest food trend of 2018! As more and more people, especially celebrities and influencers, give up meat, dairy, and dairy products, the world becomes more aware of the sustainable nature of a vegan diet. With the availability of numerous vegan alternatives in the market, it is also easier to be a vegan now than it was 10 years ago!
What if we told you that studies have shown a direct relationship between productivity and consumption of plant-based food? Turning vegan would not only let you have a guilt-free conscience but also improved productivity and performance at work!
