8 Life-Changing Lessons Anyone Can Learn from Going Plant-Based
Everyone has the power to improve their life.
But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. As a nutritionist and health writer who’s covered everything from the benefits of eating papaya to how mouth-breathing can cause erectile dysfunction, I’ve noticed a trend: We humans often know which habits, foods, and exercises are good for us, but we choose not to do them. And these choices — to do or not to do — determine your life’s trajectory.
Making healthy choices can transform your life in surprising ways.
When I turned 30, the decision to start making healthy lifestyle choices changed my life. First, I gave up toxic things like drinking too much, partying, and eating animal products. Instead, I chose to prioritize my health and fitness by adopting a plant-based diet.
Then, at 32, I chose to change my career. I wanted to help others improve their health, so I became a nutritionist, transforming my life once again.
When I was 34, I chose to pursue my lifelong passion of becoming a writer. Within six months, online writing about health, nutrition, and fitness became my full-time gig.
And with every choice you make comes valuable life lessons if you look close enough.
