Tips for an Anti-Inflammatory Vegan Diet
One of the biggest misconceptions about vegans is that we’re all super health conscious. While this may be true for some, there are plenty who change their diet for other reasons such as ethics or spirituality. When I initially went vegan, health was not my main concern – and it showed by how I shamelessly snacked on Oreos and potato chips like my life depended on it. But after being diagnosed with an endocrine disorder that caused extremely painful inflammation in my body, I knew I had to sacrifice my snacks and make some additional alterations in my eating habits. Here are some tips I’ve gathered over the years that have helped me (mostly!) successfully stay on an anti-inflammatory vegan diet.
Eating Vegan at Popular Fast Food Chains
There’s a reason why fast food chains are everywhere. They’re quick, convenient, and are typically much cheaper than your average sit-down restaurant. But treating yourself with a trip through the drive-thru can come with an added struggle for new vegans who aren’t sure what menu items are safe to eat or not. Check out this list below for some ideas of what to order next time you need an easy, vegan bite on the go!
Going Vegan at Disney
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I took a trip to the Disneyland in Anaheim, CA to celebrate my graduation. Typically, I pack my own food on these trips. While I still spent most of the trip lugging around a bag full of fruit and Tofurky sandwiches, I also wanted the chance to splurge a little bit given the situation – and considering that my boyfriend was a Disney virgin! It took some research and a lot of questioning on my part, but by the end of the trip I was pleasantly surprised by many of the vegan options we found throughout the parks! To save you the headache on your next Disney trip, here were some of our top vegan finds.
Keeping Small Animals Safe in the Heat
Most animal lovers know what steps to take to keep their cats and dogs safe in hot weather. However, not everyone is aware that smaller animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters are also at risk of heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses! Despite their size, it’s super important for owners to know the symptoms of heat-related illnesses in their furry friends, and what to do to prevent them. Here are some tips on how to keep your puniest pets happy and healthy in this summer heat!
Fun Ways to Get Masculine Folks Into Skincare
Sometimes, it can be really tough to get men or masculine folks to care about their skin. Somewhere through history, society decided to associate grooming with feminine features only. Sure, men will wash their face and groom their beards until the cows come home, but if you even mention exfoliation or moisturization, a lot of them will turn their face up.
It’s a shame, but it doesn’t have to stay this way. Social norms are not set in stone. You just have to be willing to help move things along. So, if you want to help your man along towards a better path for his skin, and he's avoiding it for the sake of “manliness,” then read our tips about how to shift the tides and get him into skin care.
