Our Future, AI and Veganism: 6 Reasons Why I Went Vegan

Singularity.FM

I have now been vegan for 8 or 9 years and people keep asking me how I feel and why I did it. So let me share a quick health update as well as the original 6 reasons why I went vegan. Well, since going vegan I have lost and kept off 25 pounds or about 12 kgs. My body fat has gone down from about 22% to about 14%. My blood pressure went down from about 130 over 90 to about 115 over 75. My resting heart rate has dropped 5 beats to about 52. My BMI dropped almost 2 points to 22. My iron went up. My calcium went up. My triglycerides went down. My overall cholesterol went down. My sugar is stable at 5.1. Even my urologist said that my PSA is like that of a teenager. Now, to be fair, not everything in my bloodwork is perfect and I am still very much struggling with and testing different nutritional protocols to get my LDL marker into the optimal range. However, at 48, I feel subjectively better, people often tell me that I look better, and my bloodwork is objectively better today than when I was 35 years old. So those are the effects of veganism on my health after almost 9 years. Now, let me share my original 6 reasons why I went vegan, and feel free to let me know if you agree or disagree as well as your experience and your reasons as to why you would or you wouldn’t go vegan yourself 😉 Read the rest here: https://www.singularityweblog.com/6-reasons-why-i-went-vegan/
