Sick looking Vegans - Why do vegans not look healthy? (VIDEO)

Following plant based diet is a great step towards long term vibrant energy and health, but it is far from the only factor. No matter what you eat, a sedentary lifestyle is damaging to health and bears responsibility for growing obesity problems.

As Fred explains in the video below, just because someone proclaims themselves to be vegan or vegetarian does not insure that they are a picture of perfect health. Why, you may ask? Well the answers are simple.

Here are a few possible conclusions:

• Being a vegan or vegetarian is no protection from unhealthy habits such as eating the wrong types of foods. After all French fries and potato chips are generally plant based.
• Even extremely unhealthy processed, junk and “fake” foods can be vegan or plant based.
• Overeating is another unhealthy habit which contributes to poor health.
• Lots of cheese and dairy for vegetarians can lead to a host of health problems.
• Exposure to toxins in the environment (water, air, industrial life in general) can negatively affect a person’s health regardless of how healthily they eat. In many cases the healthiest people are the most sensitive to environmental toxins, but they don’t always listen to their bodies.
• Stress - from jobs, toxic relationships and the hustle and bustle of modern life can drain the life energy out of even the most conscientious vegetarian or vegan, causing them to appear debilitated.
• Plus there’s always the possibility that professed vegans or vegetarians are not being completely honest and are eating foods which they claim not to be? 

Scientific evidence actually shows, that people who consume a plant strong diet and avoid the pitfalls listed above, will naturally look more healthy and more attractive, because the chlorophyll, carotenoids and other vitamins and antioxidants in vegetables makes skin appear healthier in color and makes them look more attractive when measured against tanned skin and a face of a person, who eats considerably less vegetables and face color is close to what is generally considered "normal" (photo).
