More and more people have been switching up their diets, they’ve gone vegan and there’s a lot of good reasons to back that up. There’s a ton of amazing ways that being vegan can improve one’s life. We’re talking about great health benefits, more cost-effective ways to utilize our resources, less stress on the environment and a lot more! 

People choose to go vegan for their own distinct reasons. This is a big lifestyle change and is easier to sustain when done whole-heartedly. In the consumer world, we show support with money and with every purchase is like a vote of support. So when buying commercial products, we should also consider not just the products but the practices and morals of the company. 

For this reason, it’s only right that we educate ourselves; so that with every peso spent, you’re supporting something you truly believe in. Moreover, a vegan-diet can lessen the risk of mortality from conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, Hypertension, Stroke, Obesity and some forms of cancer.  

Some Cebuanos have even joined this practice perhaps for the general reason that it’s the healthiest way to live. And for those looking to try this lifestyle and see if it’s fit for them or maybe just looking to try out vegan dishes from time to time. We’ve come up with a list of cafes, restaurants where you can enjoy yummy and healthy vegan dishes and treats. As well as stores that sell vegan and gluten-free ingredients for you to make your own meals at home.
