My name is Laura Perez Gavidia, and my story began the day that I started having joint pain at the age of 18. 

Ever since then, I started analyzing and reading about natural ways on how to treat pain without any medications I would later become dependent on. This is how I came across veganism and also became aware that I was doing things in life the wrong way. I was sleeping bad, skipping meals and stressing too much, and on top of that not eating enough veggies. 

Beetabella is is a blog dedicated to recipes and inspiration for a lifestyle away from medications and free from stress as much as possible!

THE NAME

“Beet” in Spanish (Betabel) + “Ella” = Beetabella
I changed the name of the blog twice before staying with this name!
Take a wild guess at what the original two names were going to be.
The first name was going to be “The Sweet Potato Life”/ Then, I changed my mind to “HeartBeet” but at the end I ended up changing my mind again, and I am super glad I did!

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE BLOG

With simple eyes you only see food and the tasty values it holds. With enlightened eyes you’re able to discern that food should be more than just flavor; it should be the most powerful and clean fuel for your body to make sure you maximize its physical, emotional and spiritual capabilities.
Adopting a plant-based diet has afforded me a second chance to a life full of energy and smiles, a life where I do not need to depend on medications to be able to function.
