IS VEGAN MAKING MY LIFE MORE POSITIVE?

Veganism has been a transformational journey for me. A journey about compassion and also a journey about pain. It still hurts me so deeply to see all of the sufferings in the world. At the same time, it warms my heart that people are becoming more open to this lifestyle and saving animals as a result. Besides this friction between pain and joy, they’ve been some other significant learnings since I became vegan almost three years ago. In this post, I’ll be sharing my honest experiences and lessons of what it’s like to be vegan. This is not a post about glorifying veganism. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.  I think many vegans are so focused on putting themselves in the best light in an attempt to inspire others to make the change. I get it. This very blog is a prime�example of that. However, there’s also value in absolute honesty in what it’s really like to live a vegan lifestyle. It’s refreshing to see the challenges and what you could potentially expect. Note: since publish...

WOW Mystery of Walt Disney World’s Bermuda Triangle

isneyland is about rides, but Walt Disney World is about infrastructure. Consider that in order to get Disneyland built, Disney asked the city of Anaheim to run a sewer line and allow them to demolish part of Cerritos Avenue… and that’s about it. Walt Disney World involved such matters as land reclamation, mass transit, hotel operation, urban planning, drainage, waste treatment…It’s said that Walt Disney chose the location of Walt Disney World based on Bay Lake and its natural island. In the 1969 press conference announcing the first phase of Walt Disney World, Roy Disney remarked: “I remember when we walked out there one day – we had looked at the land from the air, from the ground, tramped a lot of it, and Walt stood alongside of Bay Lake and he said, ‘This is where we’ll put the park’.” And they did.Bay Lake… what is up with Bay Lake? I’d wager that despite its incredible importance to the development of Walt Disney World, most visitors never even see the darn thing. But it’s the sole part of Walt Disney World that Walt Disney actually saw: the forested shores of Bay Lake, the natural mangroves and water reflecting the blue Florida sky, the island just off shore. Soon, the bulldozers and steam shovels would arrive and change central Florida forever. Yet this weird little corner of the “world” has been home to more failed projects, bizarre schemes, and unlikely adventures than any other at Walt Disney World. It defeats all challengers, having remained defiantly underutilized while Walt Disney World groans with expansion around it.Bay Lake… what is up with Bay Lake?

Intermittent Fasting Made Me Lose 20 Pounds

About a year and a half ago, I set out to lose nearly two decades of weight I had put on thanks to desk jobs, poor eating, and an out-of-control soda addiction. At 5 feet 10 inches tall and 208 pounds (lb), I was looking to get to a goal weight of 168 lb, which is closer to what I weighed in college. Knocking some of the obvious targets out of my diet — Coca-Cola, pizza, bagels, and pasta — made a quick dent in my weight, and got me to 188 lb. It was a 20 lb weight loss in just a few weeks. When my weight began to stubbornly plateau at 188 lb, even after I joined a boxing gym, I asked for help. And that’s how I stumbled upon intermittent fasting, a style of eating that places more of a focus on when you eat instead of what you eat. Combined with exercise, this diet plan helped me reach 154 lb.The idea behind intermittent fasting is that it increases your metabolic rate, which helps you burn more calories. And by restricting the time periods during the day when you eat, you take in fe...

WHY I GO VEGAN

The number of people cutting down on meat and dairy, or cutting these foods from their diets entirely, has been rising over the last decade. The number of vegans in the UK, for example, quadrupled between 2006 and 2018, according to research by The Vegan Society. One common motivation for shunning steak and stilton and going vegan is the promised health benefits. The vegan diet is generally considered to be higher in fibre and lower in cholesterol, protein, calcium and salt than an omnivorous diet – but there are still misconceptions and concerns around cutting meat, fish, eggs and dairy completely from our diets.   One common concern is whether a vegan diet provides enough vitamin B12. B12 helps prevent nerve damage, and is found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy, but not in fruit or vegetables. It's recommended that adults consume 1.5 micrograms of the vitamin per day. “A B12 deficiency can lead to neurological symptoms such as numbness, and it’s irreversible if the deficiency...
