Here's What Happens To Your Brain And Body When You Go Vegan | The Human Body



Thinking about skipping out on meat and dairy? Going vegan is becoming increasingly more common, but is it actually good for you?

Following is the transcript of the video:

What happens to your body when you go vegan?

Thinking of making the jump to a vegan diet? You’re not alone.

In your first few weeks, you may feel especially tired. Without meat, vegans often have a hard time getting enough vitamin B12 and iron, which helps make red blood cells and transport oxygen throughout the body. But it’s nothing a supplement or handful of nuts can’t fix.

You may also discover that foods don’t taste the way they used to. That’s because your zinc levels have taken a hit, affecting your overall sense of taste and smell.

On the plus side, expect to lose some weight right away! After switching, new vegans lost an average of 10 pounds over a 10 month period. Plus, a 2009 study found that average BMI was lower for vegans than all other diets.

Another benefit that you may experience is a healthy decrease in cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart disease risk. In 1999, a study showed that vegans were 24% less likely to have clogged arteries from saturated fat and cholesterol.

While your arteries are better off, your bones may not be. If you’re like most Americans who get their daily calcium from dairy products, you may see a dip in calcium levels.

But you can combat this simply by boosting your intake of kale, broccoli, and other leafy greens. Plus, cutting out dairy might make you more … regular. 60% of humans don’t have the enzyme to properly digest lactose in dairy. The result is cramping, bloating, and even diarrhea. Swapping dairy with high fiber veggies will make bathroom trips a lot more productive.

Like any diet, veganism has its pros and cons. Be sure to research and see which diet is best for you.

  1. A whole foods plant-based diet is the best. There is no "Vegan" diet.

  2. please choose vegan options. even if vegan is a kind of "new world difference"

  3. why do some many people dismiss the idea of being vegan?? It's simple. Cognitive dissonance. they cant believe that something so programmed into their belief system could be wrong so they deny and demonize any information to the contrary! stay strong vegan friends!

  4. I am 3 weeks in and I did t experience any of this. I eat whole foods and raw u til 4pm.

  5. Vegans, educate yourself on ethics, health, and environment, and act your parrhesia! Watch documentaries, check the data, read the statistics, articles, and more.

  6. I agree. Going vegan was the best thing ever. It really helps reduce the hassle from attacking, violating, chopping and storing human flesh.

  7. i have a balanced diet, so ill stick with that

  8. Yeah yeah go vegan and malnourished

  9. Iron is easy food tastes better

  10. Feel way better. Just take a multivitamin

  11. B12 doesn't come from meat. Its from a bacteria from the soil. Protein isn't created by animals either and only comes from plants. Education is key.

  12. That’s why you turn vegan while your taking Multivitamins.

  13. Stop being vegan was the best decision of my life, never been so proud of myself

  14. Vegan is the best way to loose weight because the food is horrible so you dont eat

  15. been vegan for 5 years and it's been the best thing i've done for my health. i have more energy than i had back when i ate dairy/meat

  16. Oh man this wasn't too well researched wasn't it.

    B12 & iron deficiency can be found in just about ANY slice of the population.

    Bone density problems are HIGHER in countries where the MOST dairy is consumed (also correlates with countries that have the most overweight populations).

    For the low energy vegans though: sugar is your friend. 😉

  17. UNPASTURIZED milk has all the ENZYMES NECESSARY TO PROCESS MILK SUGAR, LACTOSE. There simply is NO replacement for the nourishment of meats. This video is ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! You’re MISREPRESENTING INNUMERABLE FACTS! EVERY “VEGETARIAN & VEGAN” video I’ve seen are ALL COMPLETELY MISINFORMING VIEWERS!! You should be permanently REMOVED from EVERY PLATFORM because you’re HARMING PEOPLE!! IT’S CRIMINAL!!!

  18. In Romania we go vegan for 40 days ( Easter and Christmas Fasting )

  19. Scients and nutritionists have discovered grapes and banana makes you happy and sweet things like sweet syrups and all sweet juice produce serotonin and makes you happy and hot drinks like tea ,coffee, cuppochinu, hot chocolate have antioxidants and makes you young and a vegan pepperoni pizza or pizza with mushrooms and bell peppers and vegan almond cream puff and vegan pastry which its cream is mixed with banana and vegan mayonnaise and vegan mild mustard and vegan fruity icecream these foods are very delicious and good for body health and mental health and cure all diseases if all mentioned be done and make you beautiful 👍👌✌️

  20. STOP SPREADING PROPAGANDA ABOUT VEGANS FFS!!! WE CAN GET ALL THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED WITHOUT YOU IDIOTS DRIP FEEDING US MEAT AND DAIRY!!!

  21. Well i guess im turning vegan for half year maybe or more idk i wanna lose weight

  22. I was really sick eating animal flesh and milk then i became allergic.

  23. I'm vegan mostly on keto. Feeling amazing. It's been 12 years, whith a little side shifts to vegetarianism. Don believe this BS. Each situation is individual.

  24. I tried a challenge where I went vegetarian for a week and after that I just kept going and now I’m fully vegetarian

  25. I get skinny and unhealthy looking , I looked frail and all the b14 I took was not enough. I want back to meat and my muscles came back.

  26. Fake. Iam vegan 22 years , iam look super , I have 43 yo ,

  27. I’ve been vegan over a decade and I feel and look a million bucks!!!👍🏼❤️

  28. I am vegan and never tired. I lost loads of weight, so goood. My brain works better. Take omega 3 (algae) and B12. Everyone should take these anyway as most people including non vegans fall short!!

  29. The term Vegan wasn’t a term is 1999 but you say you have a study about them from that year.

  30. Man as a vegan I had nothing but issues, I'm glad I no longer one.

  31. No carnivores to scrap with, 😂 awesome. I am telling my wife's nephew to watch, what the health. Get an early start.

  32. I have been a strict vegan for 16 days now. I quit smoking pots and also the same day. I did in 2017 because I was diagnosed with inflammation. My numbers were great 10 months later. But I was eating donuts and vegan cheese, processed stuff. Today, I trained6. It was just at a much higher level. My zone 2 level heart rate average was 10 beats, higher. This time, my wife is on board. She feels so good. This time, I am eating enough food, and dinner is at least an hour of chomping. It's when I am starving that the meat is calling 📞. We still have a couple of wolves in the house.

  33. I went vegan for 2 weeks. I instantly developed numerous boils all over my body that refused to heal. It's not that I love meat and animal products so much, it's just that I hated the effects going vegan gave me. Plus, the imitation meats were absolutely horrible, every brand I tried. We're born omnivore and I discovered it's not nice to fool with mother nature.

  34. Went plant based. Never felt worse. Ended going carnivore in order to cure my health issues. 2 years and never felt better.

  35. I urge everyone here on this platform battling with diseases or viruses to try DR ALAHO OLU on YouTube channel herbal supplements, he cured my HSV-2. He’s a blessing to me, he changed my life completely……
