The vegan communities did fantastic jobs in alluring consumers away from meat consumption. I turned a vegetarian, and my diet consists of the consumption of variety of protein sources including complete protein sources such as buckwheat grains and buckwheat noodles mixed with bean salads.

At least one good thing about me being post-menopausal and overweight (not obese): Bone health - though I still hope to get rid of that excess weight as it saps my energy.
To add to the discussion about iron: There is also mechanism for the absorbtion of iron from plant ferritin that was discovered about 10 years ago. It seems to be as efficient as iron absorbtion from heme iron (especially from legumes). Therefore legumes and meat are on equal footing in this regard.
If on a mainly fruit based raw vegan diet, what do we need to be concerned with? Great discussion as always. Keep them coming. Keep us properly, and accurately informed. Blessings,
Here's my research. I'm a 52 year old plant based vegan who is making consistent strength gains at the gym. I'm losing body fat while still getting stronger. Yesterday for example, I managed to keep my calories under my maintenance while exceeding my daily protein need. And I did this using only chickpea spaghetti, plant based meatballs and plant based ground beef. To add to that, 240 of the calories came from hempseed oil that I threw in for flavor, which I didn't even need. Spare me the BS about needing animal products to get stronger or do a body recomposition.
You might also wanna try some pea - rice combination plant proteins for a supplement instead of having as much calories come from the other sources especially oils.👍🏼
i follow a low/no SOFAS wfpb diet, and i literally walk 30k steps at work in heavy steal toe boots. by the end of the day i have zero soreness and zero joint pain. that alone is enough for me to eat this way for the rest of my life
Talking about fractures with BMI the probable cause is heavier people move less and more slowly, someone weighing 500 pounds moves between the kitchen, bed and toilet/bathroom only. Someone weighing 150 pounds of average height is out and about, they are more likely to be killed in car accidents too.
The difference is Vegans do it for compassion, not for health as people on a Plant Based diet do. So some Vegans don’t consider health as much. Although I think that is changing now, hopefully! 🌻✊🏽🌎
To me the biggest myth is that a vegan diet is automatically healthful. I've watched enough vegan TH-camrs to know that there are many vegans who load up on oily, sugary, processed food and eat no legumes and barely any vegetables. I see that the doctor has several copies of Dr. Greger's, "How Not To Die." on his shelf. I wish Dr. Nagra had taken the time to differentiate between a healthful WFPB diet and a junk food vegan diet. Even Dr. Greger has said that being vegan is not automatically health promoting.
@@pythonjava6228 I just re-listened- twice- and I only heard one sentence claiming vegans eat a variety of minimally processed plant foods not that they should.. He even goes on to say that those who adopt a vegan diet for ethical reasons and know little about nutrition are doing pretty well. This is what I'm talking about. Anyone under 50 can do pretty well on ANY diet. Give it time. I've known ethical vegans who eat horribly: tons of sugar, white flour, oil, etc. with few vegetables and legumes.:. not all, of course, but there are a number of them. He really did not address this at all.
@@sectionalsofa Give it time and you will end up like Steve Jobs, Andy Kaufman, Robin Gibb, Linda McCartney, Gilda Radner, Dr. Henry S. Lodge, Dr. Clive McCay, Mr. Rogers, Nathan Pritikin, Euell Gibbons, Dr. Paavo Airola, and the list is endless.
I will say this, although it’s anecdotal; About a year after I became a vegan, (just last year) I fractured my 5th metatarsal in my right foot (Jones Fracture) while playing basketball. I’m 30 and in my entire life I’ve never broken a bone until that point. Having said that, across the board in every other area, I felt healthier, lighter, safer, cleaner, happier, and more clear.
So, about iron … if ferritin levels are normal but serum iron levels are low, should a person be taking iron supplements if all other tests are normal?
If you worry about it take a vegan Source iron pill that has vitamin C for activation in it. They’re very cheap, then after you have your blood work done see if it helps.
Most of you probably know3, good sources of vitamin D, as well, as B12, are mushrooms, if you're not allergic, and fortified soy, and almond milk. Tofu is also fortified with vitamin B12
Funny liked it before I watched it. I almost talked a 65 year old I met today that was so good at talking and listening. I am looking at more Raw foods as well as microgreens.
Oh wow this video explains my condition a lot. I used to have really low iron & low Hb count in my meat eating days but once i switched to wfpb, i got higher Hb count.
Herbivores being discriminated is a reality. Plant based diet as sustainable for health is a fact. Vegan morality as a consensus is a objective truth. Even when one of them is facing controversial situation , the rest is still a fidel scientific control.
The overweigth fracture risk reduction, I suggest is not due better bone density, but the much simpler answer that the overweight are far more less active.
Overweight people are getting weight-bearing exercise every time they move or walk around. Older ladies who are very thin have fractures all the time because they never ever get any kind of weight-bearing exercise. Although supplementation for frail bones can sometimes help, weight-bearing exercises, even walking is better in the long run. Do some kind of weight lifting exercise.

I’m plant based but just will not give up my wild salmon and other wild seafoods. The Finns like mentioned in this video, are very high fish consumers like the rest of Scandinavia and Europe and they live long lives. If we add seafood to vegan diet we have an excellent complete diet. It’s excellent for B-12 and other very important nutrients.
seas are already decimated from overfishing and fisheries are on its own a special kind of pandora's boxes. So, have it your way if you must but to say that this way you have "an excellent complete diet" is misleading as you can get same nutrients elsewhere minus the mercury et co.
I like the documentary Game Changers where it shows a meat eater's blood being thicker than a vegan's blood, and I think it is due to the variation in dietary fats.
I am a nurse and have drawn many vials of blood in my life. You can see fat deposits in the vial after drawing blood on some patients. It is more common in the cardiovascular units.

animal protein does not have any known toxins that were generated by the host. Plants use toxins to defend themselves from being over eaten or eaten at all. Looking at seeds they are covered with another food source for the eater so the actual seed is not digested, avocado is high in histamine more than likelly so your GI does not keep it inside long enough to get fully digested, eat only animal flesh and you will see your GI keep the protein inside longer and it gets fully digested, there are carnitine transporters in the human stomach , plants do not offer carnatine
