I could write you a huge list. they all come in three catagories health, compassion and environmental.
health, because veganism is the natural diet for a human. proven by the way that we have to have it cooked, there are no natural killing tools on our body, we are anatomically simular to other vegan animals and if you look at it, 99% of food declared unhealthy and with a risk of poisoning is meat or diary. so be vegan and your body will reward you.
compassion, as you know. less killing and less suffering.
environment, because an omnivorous diet uses up 8 times as much resources as a vegan diet. factory farming is the second biggest pollutant on this planet and dairy farming is responsible for 25% of water pollution.
of course many more, I could go on all day.
only disadvantage, you will be under constant criticism from those who just like the sound of their own voice, and bugged with loads of questions about your bowel movements.

Sooo many... I have been a vegetarian for almost 7 years. Firsts of all think of all the animals you save!!! Your body stays healthy and sexy, glowing skin, more energy, less colds better health in general. Make sure you research before you do the change. Eat lots of protein like nuts beans etc. There a so many awesome vegetarian foods out there. PETA's web site can also help you. They offer FREE vegetarian starter kits as well, they are helpful and will give you lots of info. Order online at www.peta.org . Good luck!!! It will be the best thing you can do for your self and the environment!

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/Oczqa
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Personally, it rid me of stomach problems. I always used to have painful stomach problems after I ate but once I gave up meat it went away. I didn't feel "full" all the time either.
I have been vegetarian for 11 years now. I am considering moving towards vegan (giving up dairy and eggs).
It is a very healthy move to make and at the least one can always cut down on meat consumptions if they do not want to cut it out totally.
Here are some websites with good information

Wishing you all the best. :)

You can live just as long as a vegetarian eating a well balanced diet including meat, vegetables, fruits, grains and dairy. Also very important exercise.

Welcome to this section, good question. Be warned there are a lot of veggie-hating people here, i think the meat must make them agressive or something.
Veggies:
much better general health. You are likely to add 15 years to your life.
Igonore people who say you need suppliments or tablets, you do not. I've been a veggie for 26 years and very fit and healthy - I run an arable farm so need to be fit.
You'll feel better, knowing all those animals are not dieing. There is a trmendous lifting of guilt.
The downside is you have to put up with stupid statements from meat-eaters who have no expereince of the diet, they just want to knock you for it, i suspect its a guilt thing. Ignore people like tucksie.

This is what I have read and heard for years about a 100%raw 100% vegan (no animal products) diet:
Slower aging. Relief of some allergies and skin conditions such as pimples acne and eczema. Relief of some digestive problems, such as g.e.r.d.. Relief of menstrual problems. Rapid weight loss for overweight people, weight stabilization for all. Better overall mood. Loss of mood swings. Improved outlook on life. More energy. Some insulin dependent diabetics have even gone off of insulin permanently due to improved condition after going ton this diet.
Here is a link to some testimonies:

First, your saving an animal from a suffering death. Then the health reasons include that the consumption of a generous supply of whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables provides protection against chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A plant-based diet is rich in its content of health-promoting factors such as the many phytochemicals. If you want to be extra cautious, go and buy as many organic items as possible. This way, you aren't getting the pesticides and hormones that are sprayed on many conventional foods, including vegetables and fruits.

The benefit is weight loss. However, once you lose the weight, you need to switch back to well balanced diet which includes meat and dairy. Other wise, you get sick from the lack of nutrients. Science has proven that our bodies need meat.
