This summer heat is killing me! It got to the point where every time when I enter a place with air-con on, I instantly get a bad sore throat. I thought of some cough syrups but I couldn't find any vegan alternative. Would you guys recommend something effective and vegan-friendly?

Ever heard about "Atherosclerosis" ? Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque. This one affects the arteries and blood flow to the body. In a normal arteries blood will flow freely, how ever when this ones have too much plaques also...

I'm currently working with a company called Arbonne who are a vegan certified company (PETA certified in the USA). They do everything from nutrition, baby range, health/beaut etc. Products such as toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, protein shakes. I've been using the products for about 3 months...

Hi, I'm 15 years old and have recently transitioned to a vegan. I did it for ethical reasons, but I want to be healthy too. (This list is supposed to supply food for 2 people and is meant to last a week) I've been struggling with what to buy and would hope you could suggest removing or adding...

Hey, I'm a fairly new vegan, veggie for 8+years, spent a couple months transitioning, and been vegan for over a month. I am so confused about amino acids and protein. Do I have to combine foods to get my amino acids? Is there something that covers all bases? I feel like everything I read...

Do you think this could have been a B12 deficiency issue? Could a deficiency start so fast in an active person? Hello, My first week of being Vegan and I think I already messed up and freaked myself out. I was doing fine and feeling great until the 8th day. That day I felt really tired, dizzy...

I've been vegan for a year and a half now, and have very little concerns. However, I've noticed whenever I eat tofu more than twice a month, I miss my period. Sometimes for one cycle, and sometimes for 3. I've heard that soy can cause hormonal imbalances in pre-menopausal women, and some...

My brother, who is three years younger than me (I am a teenager), seems to be very close-minded when it comes to the reasons for being an ethical vegan. He doesn't understand how the milk, egg, honey, etc. industries are cruel and often asks me why, so I give him a logical and clear explanation...

Hey Y'all! I'm a new member on here and newly vegan! The reason I'm transitioning is I find myself very sluggish at times, minor depression issues, and I also recently discovered I have heart issues (AFib)! Now hearing that description you might not think I'm living a healthy life style, but I...

so I've been vegan for about 18 months, did my medical checks ones every three months and it always have been perfectly fine (and even better). yesterday I've been through some blood tests since my period is off track and my hair falls. Today my doctor called my parents to inform them I must...

Hello! I've been vegan for a year and a few months. I was vegetarian a year before going vegan. I'm having reoccurring hair loss ever since changing my diet. I'm 18, so it can't be due to age. Random patches of thinning hair and breakage. This has happened twice as an omnivore, but it's due to...

Hello, all! I'm new here hoping to connect with vegans with the same goals in mind. I've been vegan for about 2 years, originally transitioning from vegetarian for weight loss reasons. As you probably already know there are tons of reasons to be vegan and that's why I'm still a vegan. I did...

(I don't know if I posted this in the right place, I didn't see a spot for parenting.) A little bit of background, I'm a vegetarian. I don't use products that were tested on animals, I don't buy leather or fur, I don't drink milk. I enjoy the occasional egg breakfast provided by my mother's...

Hi guys, So I know there are MANY questions about the poop of a vegan, but none seem to answer my questions. I've been a vegan for just over a year now & my "movements" are still sh!t (pardon the pun) My stools are soo loose & sometimes resemble diarrhoea. None of these issues occurred when I...

Hi all, I've been vegan now for just over 2 weeks, prior to this I was vegetarian for just over a month. Following becoming vegan I have been feeling really sick on and off pretty much the whole time. I've been tracking what I'm eating to make sure I'm getting all the right things and taking a...

hi everyone I was wondering if i could get some help? I've recently gone vegan (2 months ago, cold turkey) and from about 1 month ago I've randomly been getting dizzy spells. (such as if i stand up to fast) I've never had a dizzy spell in my life so to me its quite an unusual experience. I'm...

Need some advice from other vegans. I went vegan 3 months ago, up until now i've been fine but now i'm feeling quite weak and have body aches and pains everyday, my body snaps and cracks a lot also. It's possible I could feel poorly because I have not been taking a b12 supplement but have...

Hi everyone! So I became vegan just under four weeks ago from a full blown meat eater - no transition period. I have however dropped a dress size from a uk12 to uk10. I was average weight to begin with and I haven't exactly been dieting as such as a vegan just Trying out lots of different new...

Hi guys, I saw a few posts on people feeling under-the-weather and once I like you thought that if we are eating so many fruits and vegetables - why are we getting sick? The video that illuminated the issue for me is this: Dr. Michael Greger talks about why a 40 year vegan dies of a heart...
