Veganism: What a Body Wants, What a Body Needs--Presentation by Ankur Jain, M.D.

Our bodies, and especially our digestive tracts, are best suited for a plant-based diet, both anatomically and physiologically. It has been proven that people who do not consume animal products have a better quality of life due to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and decreased incidence of heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, and liver disease, as well as various cancers. Besides being healthy, a vegan diet is also economical and safe for the environment.
