Show love this Valentine’s Day

THIS Valentine’s Day, be kind to your heart by ditching artery-clogging animal-derived products in favour of plant-based foods, which are cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat.

A wealth of scientific evidence backs up the benefits of eating vegan – including a University of Oxford study which found that those who don’t eat meat are a third less likely to develop heart disease.

What’s more, in his landmark book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr Caldwell Esselstyn documents his 100% success rate for helping people unclog their arteries and reverse heart disease through a plant-based diet – and he counts former US President Bill Clinton among his satisfied clients.

Of course, Valentine’s Day is also the perfect time to extend a little love to animals by leaving them off our plates.

PETA is offering free vegan starter kits – containing delicious recipes, tips on eating out, and more – to anyone wanting to make the switch. Go on, order one – you’ll love it!
