Anne Hathaway Shares Why She Quit VeganismThe Princess Diaries star recently shared in an interview with Tatler magazine why she quit veganism. The movie star went vegan back when she was preparing for her role as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. According to Women’s Health Mag, after the film, Anne became fully vegan and reportedly one of the “lifestyle’s most enthusiastic proponents” who even had a vegan menu at her wedding. The star earlier shared about her decision to stop drinking and now she has quit veganism. She told Tatler magazine about why she quit her vegan diet. The story goes back to her Interstellar days. She, along with her co-star Matt Damon and her husband Adam Schulman, went to dine together at a restaurant in Iceland. Matt said that he would take anything served in front of him, and when Anne Hathaway was offered salmon, she asked if it was local. She said that eating the salmon made her brain feel like a “computer rebooting.”
The actor previously told Harper’s Bazaar about her bidding adieu to veganism while shooting Interstellar, where she had to fit in a 40-pound spacesuit.
The actress now lives on a paleo-style diet. What do you think about Anne Hathaway’s decision to leave veganism? Let me know in the comments.

Brian May Set to Wear Vegan Shoes for His Next TripThe animal rights activist and legendary lead guitarist of Queen has recently shared on an Instagram post about a pair of Italy-designed, £220 shoes that are made of no animal-based material, thereby making it environmental-friendly. According to his Instagram post, the legendary guitarist has worn Adidas and Nike trainers on stage for the last 34 years, dating back to the band’s iconic 1985 Aid performance. He said that now he plans to move on from such shoes and adopt the new vegan and eco-friendly Yatay’s, which he first tried at the February Oscars ceremony. The animal rights activist and musician thanked the manufacturers for sending him the pair of “fabulous VEGAN shoes.” May has campaigned against fox hunting and badger culling.
A PETA approved Vegan YATAYBrian May wore the shoes of a luxurious Italian shoemaker. But that said, the company is ethical and knows the art of luxury without taking a toll on the planet and harmless animals, which is not often the case with luxury fashion brands. Featured in leading fashion magazines like GQ, the brand’s website states:
The company makes vegan and eco-friendly shoes and strives to reduce negative environmental impact from their data center. What is your say on Brian May’s new vegan shoes? Would you buy a pair of vegan sneakers from YATAY? Let me know in the comments. The post Queen Legend Brian May Will Wear Vegan Shoes for Upcoming Tour appeared first on Raise Vegan.

Accidents, emergencies and the worst may happen so it’s essential to teach your children what to do if these scenarios do occur. Here are three simple yet life saving things to teach to your children, both young and old. You might also like:
Life Saving Things All Kids Should KnowBasic First-AidVery basic first-aid is an important skill for not only you but for your children to know. Teaching your children how to properly wash, disinfect and bandage a wound (even if it’s only a small papercut) is a great habit to instill from a young age. For very minor injuries, this is something they can do themselves with your supervision. Along with this, you can take a class as a family on CPR if your children are old enough as this is a lifelong skill that is always handy to have. Emergency Phone NumbersEven if your children can only memorize a few important numbers (yours, a trusted relative’s and 911), having a list of all other important numbers available to them can be a life-saving choice. With everything from poison control to the local police department to Auntie’s work, having a well-organized and easy-to-read list in a location that everybody in the family knows is a household essential. Of course, make sure that your child also knows how to make phone calls in case of an emergency! Most smartphones have an “emergency call” option so you would be able to make a call without having a phone’s passcode. Trusted NeighborEstablishing a strong relationship with a nearby neighbor is an important part of any support system. With a trusted neighbor available, having your child know that they could rush over in case of emergency if you are not available is vital. I remember one time when I was a kid, I was riding my bike and fell in a rose bush (I still have the scars from it today) and as my parents were out, it was my close neighbor that was able to fix me up and take care of me. Which of these life saving things have you already taught to your children? Do you have any others to add to the list? Let me know in the comments below.

Via https://raisevegan.com/life-saving-things-all-kids-should-know/ During your spring cleaning endeavors, you may have thought that you got in a pretty good cleaning. You used your favorite all-natural cleaning products to scrub all the nooks and crannies in the bathroom, you organized all your kitchen cupboards, and maybe you even practiced a little bit of Feng Shui to help harmonize your living spaces. Despite all of the hard work you’ve done, there are a few things you may have missed that are in dire need of a good cleaning. These things are fairly easy to clean and only take a minimal amount of time. Here are a few things you should make time to clean this week that you may have forgotten about while spring cleaning.

Are You Spring Cleaning These Commonly Forgotten Things?Coffee MakerWhen was the last time you cleaned your coffee machine? Because I use mine to make both coffee and tea, I clean it about every week (in addition to using separate filters for the coffee and tea). Cleaning your coffee machine is easy! Simply mix one part water to one part white vinegar and run the coffee machine as you normally would. Repeat once more with the same water and then give the coffee pot a good scrubbing to remove any spots or grime. To finish, use clean, fresh water to run through your coffee maker again to eliminate the vinegar taste. Dump that water and run it again with fresh, cool water. Voilà! Like new. Air VentOne of my favorite YouTubers, Gabbie Hanna, has been doing a series where she deep cleans her house and to her shock, her viewers, and myself it was revealed that apparently, you should replace the air filter in your air vent once every 30 days. Not just spring cleaning the outside, but physically replacing the filter. Mind-blowing? It was for me. Use a non-toxic spray cleaner and a paper towel to clean out the dust or anything else trapped in the outer piece. Computer KeyboardHow often do you use a keyboard on either your laptop or computer? Now, how often do you clean it? If you’re like me, not as often as you should. Making sure that the laptop is unplugged or that your keyboard is unplugged and off, gently flip the keyboard upside down to remove any crumbs or dust. Next, use compressed air to spray around all of the keys. Finish off cleaning your keyboard by using a towelette and gentle cleanser to remove any spots or stains. Which of these things did you already clean the first time around? Which do you still need to clean? Let me know in the comments below.

The strength of the taste of metal may vary from woman to woman but it’s still undeniably there. It was found in a study that about 93% of pregnant women experience this. Are you one of them? Keep reading to find out more about why this happens and how you can combat it. You might also like:
Tasting Metal While Pregnant: Why Does it Happen?Dysguesia, also known as the metallic taste in your mouth that you may experience during pregnancy, is one of the symptoms that you may be facing during the first trimester. The taste can vary from simply feeling as if you’re drinking out of a metallic cup to feeling as if you’re actually eating a bowl of coins like it was cereal. Why does this happen? Dysguesia is a side effect of the hormone changes that happen during pregnancy, namely estrogen levels. The increased amount of estrogen can cause your taste buds to change and as all pregnant women know all too well, your tastebuds go haywire while pregnant, especially in the beginning. This also attributes to your sense of smell changing and why certain foods may make you feel sick to your stomach. It’s important to remember that even if eating isn’t as pleasant of an experience as you would like it to be, that it’s vital that you brave through it and manage to eat as many healthy foods and nutrients as you can. To help fight that metallic taste plaguing you during your first trimester, there are a few things that you can do to help greatly minimize it. Increasing your intake of more acidic foods such as citrus fruits and pickles can help naturally increase saliva production to wash away this taste. Another thing than many do, although it sounds silly, is giving yourself a good mouth cleansing with your favorite vegan toothpaste and mouthwash. Love trying new foods? Try recipes that are cold (like a delicious ice-cold smoothie) or spicy to “shock” your tastebuds and lessen the metallic taste. Did you experience tasting metal while eating during your pregnancy? What did you do to combat it? Let me know in the comments below. The post Tasting Metal While Pregnant: Why Does it Happen? appeared first on Raise Vegan.

Pregnant with her third child, Solomon is no stranger to the beauties and the woes pregnant women across the globe experience. One of these things that no one seems to talk about? Excess stomach hair. Keep reading to find out more about why her loyal fans are praising her for posting this picture. You might also like:
Stacey Solomon Shares Stomach Hair Pic While PregnantStacey, 29, rose to fame initially back in 2009 with her secured spot of third place on the reality T.V. show, The X Factor. Since her time on The X Factor, she has appeared in numerous other television shows such as a guest spot on “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” and a panelist on “Loose Women.” With her first two pregnancies happening a while back, her first-born Zachary being born in 2008 and her second-born joining her in 2012, she had announced her third and most recent pregnancy with actor and personality Joe Swash on February 22 of this year. With this most recent pregnancy, Stacey has been sharing her journey publicly on social media, namely Instagram, posting adorable family photos and more “slice of life” posts. Thursday, she shared a photo (below) showing a pretty commonly experienced, but less commonly talked about side-effect of pregnancy: new body hair. In the caption of her photo (see above), she asks her fans and followers if anyone else has experienced having what she calls a “snail trail” of “overall fuzz” during pregnancy. Much to the happiness of her followers for talking about this all-too-common pregnancy side effect, many shared their own stories of growing a lot of hair they previously didn’t have in unexecptected places while carrying a child. Growing hair in places you never seemed to notice it before is completely normal while pregnant and it happens more often than you may think. Due to a hormone called androgens, which has an increased production during pregancy, you will have body hair that grows in much faster than you may be used to. Not to worry because this is only a temporary side effect of pregnancy, lasting usually only three to six months post-delivery. Whether you choose to embrace this extra hair like super mom Stacey or whether you feel more comfortable with it plucked, shaved or waxed, rest assured that there is nothing to worry about! It is also important to note that hair loss after pregancy is another hair-related issue that may happen which you can read about here. Congratulations on your third pregnancy, Stacey Solomon! Have you experienced new body hair during your pregnancy? What other side effects of pregnancy have you experienced that seem to only rarely be discussed? Let me know in the comments below.

This iron-fisted man had success at every turn, but he also has infinite compassion in his heart and one day, it was no coincidence that he was recognized by the entire world. The vegan boxer and World Champion Unsal Arik has sincerely answered all the questions I asked him. You might also like:
Interview With World Boxing Champion, Vegan Athlete Unsal ArikHere are excerpts from the interview with The World Boxing Champion Unsal Arik. Hello Mr. Arik. We know you by dint of the world championship and we were very proud of this. Could you tell us briefly about yourself?I was born in Germany on October 27, 1980. My deceased mother and father met here and married here. So it is my destiny to live abroad. When and how did you start your sports life?Like many young people, in my youth, I’d been keen on football and when I continued my career in Germany, I started boxing to improve my performance. This job started with jokes but then turned professional. Why did you prefer boxing?As I said, it started as a joke but afterward turned professional. I discovered myself again when I perform boxing and I set new goals for myself. These goals have changed my lifestyle and my thoughts. To what do you owe your success in sports?You need to work hard to be successful. I went to exercise while my friends were touring and had fun. When you have a goal, you should focus on it 100% and believe in yourself. I did this! How did you feel when you became the world champion?That’s a truly incredible feeling that you have succeeded in your goals. We know that nutrition is important for an athlete. How do you eat as a world champion?According to me, 70 percent of the sport is about eating. If you do not eat well, you cannot handle the sport properly. I prefer vegetables, fruits, and cereals that are always high in vitamins and proteins during intense workouts and match preparation. In the meantime, do not eat chocolate, chips-style junk food, and do not drink fizzy, sugary drinks. We’ve heard that you do not use animal products. When and how did you turn vegetarian and vegan?I have been vegetarian for 5 years and I’ve decided to be vegan as a result of my long research. I have a little dog named Oskar. I love the animals even more when my dog loves me unconditionally. And then, I’ve learned that we can live healthy when we do not eat meat or do not consume animal products. Nature has given us everything. Everything we need exists in vegetables and fruits. Are plant-based diets difficult? Are there moments that you have found difficulty in this process?No, I certainly did not have difficulty because it’s not a big change. People think that protein is only in meat products because they do not search for this. In fact, they don’t know that a bowl of lentil soup is a protein depot. As I said, there is everything in nature what we need and we don’t need to kill and eat animals to survive. What are the effects of your plant-based diet on your performance and your health?Since the day I started my plant-based diet, I feel much more powerful and energetic. According to me, one of the nicest thing is being much healthier and less sick. If an athlete can eat a plant-based diet everyone can do it. Where and how would you like to see yourself in the future?I participate in many social responsibility projects besides my sports career. For example, I’m the embassy of the Children’s Heart Foundation. In the future, I want to educate more people about veganism and animal rights…I would like to cooperate with animal rights organizations. That makes me incredibly proud. Once and for all, what is your message for the readers?Please research more and read more. Every creature comes to live in this world, just like us. Let’s not forget that animals are our friends and they deserve a better life. My beliefs taught me to live in peace, not killing! I would like to live in a world where no human or no animal being is tortured or killed. I would like to live in a peaceful world… Who is your favorite vegan athlete? Comment below.
