Russell Simmons

Hip-hop and fashion mogul Russell Simmons has been vegan for over 15 years and says practicing yoga introduced him to the lifestyle. “When you meditate, you are more in tune with your body,” Simmons told the Vegetarian Times. “…when you think about what adds to your practice, what will nourish you, you know that you don’t want to put animal products in you.”

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson explained to Oprah in 2013 that his vegan lifestyle helped him flush his body of toxic buildup from over the years. “Becoming a vegan gave me another opportunity to live a healthy life. I was so congested from all the drugs and bad cocaine, I could hardly breathe, [I had] high blood pressure, [was] almost dying [and had] arthritis. And once I became a vegan all that stuff diminished,” Tyson said.
