Jessie J is one of our favorite vegan celebrities and she recently explained her decision to embrace a plant-based diet. The famous singer said she made this choice with the hope it would help her reduce chronic pain.

In a recent interview with Plant Based News, Jessie J admitted she started this journey by cutting out sugar from her diet, because she wanted to manage her chronic pain caused by fertility issues in a natural way.

“Four years ago I cut out sugar from my diet to try and stop bacteria from building up in my body. Once I cut out sugar I realized how much I began to enjoy food when it was good for me – and it was balancing out everything – my health, my moods, my sleep,” explained the singer.

Jessie J decided to cut out meat from her diet two years later, and went full vegan about a year ago. She’s still at the beginning of her journey, but sees this as a unique opportunity to love herself, her body, and the world as a whole – and inspire other people to do the same.
