What a Vegan Lifestyle Involves

A vegan lifestyle means avoiding animal products – both in relation to food, care products, and clothing. Any scenario where animals are exploited in one way or another is not in line with a vegan lifestyle. Veganism is a sustainable solution when it comes to looking after our planet. Plant-based living is also a more sustainable way of feeding the human family, but the vegan lifestyle also involves avoiding the exploitation of animals but is not the only reason to become vegan, but for many, this is the main reason for their decision.

But this blog post is also a call to those who substituted the meat vegan imitations when turning plant-based. They may be a notch healthier than animal products, but that does not necessarily make them 100% healthy.

Optimize your Daily Performance with Better Sleep

Whether you are an ‘everyday athlete’ with children and a career, or a top athlete, you may be walking around with the belief that you need to do as much as possible to achieve your goals. Exercising is obviously really important. However, in our society, there is an inappropriate belief: namely that the most successful people sleep a maximum of 4 hours a night – or just sleep very, very little. Can this be true?
