J.R. Ewing, the wealthy Texas oil baron in hit series “Dallas,” is one of TV’s most popular characters. But unlike the villainous character he portrays, veteran actor Larry Hagman is looking and feeling fabulous.  According to the My San Antonio, it’s because he has become vegan, after being diagnosed with a treatable form of cancer several months ago.

“It makes me feel great!” The Texas native, 80 years young, says of his diet of nutrient-packed green smoothies (such as kale, spinach and cucumber).

It was thanks to the advice of his beautiful longtime co-star and health-conscious friend, Linda Gray (who plays his wife Sue Ellen), who sent him a chef. Mr. Hagman recalls, “Miss Gray said, ‘Well, you’ve got to be a vegan now. It’ll help you get off those steroids that meats and turkey and chicken and beef have and it’ll cleanse your body.’”

Now meat-free going on four months, we look forward to seeing the distinguished “Dallas” star in ever vibrant vegan health both on and off-screen.

Vegan Diet Given a Second Look

Posted by —

1

To accompany yesterday’s post about meat consumption on the decline, here’s another great year-end news, as reported on US  News, no less!

But today, a growing number of people are giving vegan diets a second look, and nutritionists now believe that a well-thought-out vegan eating plan could be the most healthy way to live for most people.

This article also lists out some of the benefits of a plant-based diet:

Research has found that people who follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle enjoy a number of health benefits, Sheth said. These include:

  • Lower cholesterol levels.
  • Lower blood pressure.
  • A healthier body mass index.
  • Decreased risk for heart disease.
  • Decreased risk for cancer.
  • Better control and prevention of diabetes.

Another great thing about this write-up is that it actually rebuts all of the common misconceptions of an animal-free diet.

Sheth added that research has found vegan diets to be appropriate for people at all stages of the life cycle — even people at crucial stages, such as growing children, pregnant or lactating women, and highly active athletes.

If you’re on the fence yourself or know anyone who needs some encouragement to switch to a kinder, eco-friendly, healthy lifestyle, this article is a great starting point. And of course, having delicious vegan options to try is a big plus and that’s what One Veg World is here for. :) Our international dishes recreate many of your favorites – just with no animal products.

Here’s one of our crowd favorites, the “Enchanted Garden”. This refreshing salad comes with grilled veggie (soy) chicken and a dairy-free, creamy cucumber dressing.

Have a healthy and happy day!
