My name is Roshaira. When I was 18, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, given dietary restrictions and was told that I would have to be on medication for the rest of my life. After 4 years of struggling with this illness, I’ve had enough and started looking for a solution.
I started watching documentaries and reading studies about food and learned about the links between high meat intake and an increased risk of colon cancer. So I started going meatless 3-4 times a week for a couple of months until I stumbled upon some very interesting documentaries showing the direct link between a plant-based diet and the reverse of cancer and other illnesses. That’s when I finally decided to quit meat and dairy all-together.
I later went on to quitting eggs also, starting my journey as a plant-based eater.
