RE: Veganism and masculinity. Can real men be vegan?

in #vegansofsteemit7 years ago (edited)

Interesting fact, vegan men have higher overall testosterone levels than both vegetarian and omni men. Men who are vegan find building muscle easier and faster than their omni counterparts. I for one can attest to this, I have never built muscle as quick and easy with no DOMS.

Also with the lack of plaque in arteries blood flow is greatly improved, resulting in... Well I'll let you work that one out!

Sort:  

Yes, I heard about that, including a better flow in all the arteries ;)) Thank you for mentioning the health benefits for vegan men (and also + reduced risk of prostate cancer and less exposure to female hormones). Luckily, these topics are widely covered elsewhere, and in my post I wanted to talk about character and personal traits :)

Oh for sure, compassion, empathy and kindness should not be overlooked. Vegan men also have to be mentally stronger as they do not fit into the societal norms that they are supposed to. It is a much easier life to go with the crowd. As a vegan man I have had many, many jibes against my masculinity for being vegan. To me, they mean nothing, I am not vegan for approval of others I am vegan in-spite of it.

Great work too BTW, I believe that articles like this are very important. It is not a topic that is regularly discussed yet is a very important topic. Omni men who may read this need to be able to see that it is not a weakness in character, rather it is a strength.

yes yes yes :))
