    The major thing that many critics of veganism conveniently overlook is that simply eating an omnivorous diet containing either a modest or high level of animal products doesn’t mean you are not going to be deficient in any or all of these. One of my meat-eating friends (I am the only vegan in my circle, sadly) has been diagnosed with B12 deficiency and has recently had a course of injections. I had personally never met anyone before that I knew had this issue.
    I occasionally chew on a B12 tablet (I tend to forget) but, unlike when I was a meat eater I get an annual blood test which my doctor screens for potential deficiencies due to my diet. About to have my 3rd annual test next month. So far no issues. My B12 was a little down last year but still comfortably in the ideal range. But if any issues arise I will make sure I address them.
    The reality is that being vegan actually makes you more aware of your body’s needs rather than just assuming everything is ok so that’s a big plus.

    • @animalsarebeautifulpeople3094
      @animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 Před 11 měsíci

      Yeah actually i started to take b12 supplements way before i went vegan - b12 deficiency is very common due to the fact that it's made by bacteria and we live in a totally sterilized world today - has nothing to do with animal flesh. In fact animal victims are supplemented with b12 before being viciously killed for their flesh - so why not take the supplements directly instead of forcing the victim to take it only to mercilessly terrify and torture the victim until their body is literally chopped up into little pieces that we stuff our faces with...

    • @katelijnesommen
      @katelijnesommen Před 11 měsíci +6

      Yes, B12 is one of those nutrients that people are often deficient in for a long time without realising what is causing their symptoms, and my doctor told me (when I was diagnosed with dangerously low B12 levels despite being a vegetarian who eats dairy and eggs) that many people do get enough on their diet but can't absorb it sufficiently, in which case eating meat won't help at all and you'll need to supplement no matter what your diet (usually with injections because the oral supplements also won't absorb well). After really making sure I got enough B12 via food for a year after my initial deep deficiency was fixed with a round of injections it turned out that my levels were dropping again. I'm likely to just need an injection every 6-8 weeks for maybe the rest of my life. I actually know several people who also need regular injections, some with autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto which apparently interferes with B12 absorption. It's not rare for meat eaters or vegetarians to be deficient in B12.

    My everyday go to foods are cooked lentils, beans, chickpeas (Instant pot is THE best thing I ever bought for my apartment), hemp seeds (put them in literally everything), ground flaxseed and sunflower seeds, TOFU, canned tomatoes, bananas, peanut butter, dates, onions and garlic, and whatever fresh seasonal vegetables I have on hand.
    Great tofu scramble - sauted onions with zucchini, add crumbled tofu, kala namak, turmeric, can of tomatoes, half cup of black beans and cook till done. Add fresh scallions, chives and some fresh salad like cucumbers or tomatoes. I also add 2-3 spoons hemp seeds and 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed.
    Easy lentil salad - 300g cooked lentils, 2 tbsp olive oil, aceto balsamico, 2 spring onions, 2 tomatoes, 2-3 tbsp hemp seeds, 2 tbsp ground sunflower seeds
    Tofu and broccoli - extremely easy, on iron cast skillet fry cubed tofu and broccoli on 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Add dressing - mix soy sauce and sesame seed oil 1:1.
    Tofu pesto feta - in a jar crumble tofu, add 2 tbsp pesto, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp hemp seeds, roasted sunflower seeds, scallions, and chopped tomatoes, close the lid and shake baby shake. Leave for few hours in a fridge.
    Date fudge - freze date paste, chop into little cubes and dip in melted chocolate ( or coconut oil mixed with cocoa and maple syrup)
    Lentil stew - saute onions, garlic, ginger on lots of olive oil. Add coriander seeds, cumin, mustard seeds, cardamom and curry or garam masala. Add 300g carrots. Add water and cook for 5 min. Add 300g dried ( but previously soaked for few hours with water changed) lentils and 2 cans of chopped tomatoes. Add salt to taste and cook until done. During last 5 min add chopped kale or spinach. Serve with olive oil and lemon juice.

      you might want to look up oxalates and the dangers those pose, and phytates and lectins. I use soaked black eyed peas, red lentils, mung beans, and green peas for my proteins. All are low oxalate. Much of what you listed is high oxalate and will poison you over time causing mystery inflammation. Its happening to millions of people, and it flies under the health radar of most people who think they are eating healthy. Spinach for example should not be consumed by anyone, ever. It is not a health food, and can be easily swapped for healthy leafy green alternatives that are low oxalate.

    A tip for the calcium... I eat a head of bok choy almost every single day by eating it raw and using it to make a salad instead of using other greens. This is a great way to get your daily calcium. It has a very mild flavour so it will just end up tasting like whatever dressing you put on it. You can also blend it with your smoothie.
    Ps. bok choy is very cheap and also can be grown all year round, so you can easily grow your own any time of the year.

      That’s not exactly ideal for increasing your calcium intake.

      Taurin and creatine are synthesized by the body - that's how all mammals do it, us included. For choline there is no set recommendation, because the jury's still up of how much is really needed. So what exists is not a recommendation, but only an "adequate intake", which is deducted from the choline intake of healthy people, presuming that if they are healthy, there intake of choline will not be bad.
      Even vegans often have too high ARA levels, what's primarily important is the balance of Omega 3 to 6. If you are worried, let your GP make a blood test and see if everything is fine.

    Hi there! I LOVE a good supplement and also fortified processed foods, but if you feel like maybe you're not getting enough of those (or too much) or whatever it is, I recommend delicious southern-style collards (no ham hock, obviously), blanched greens with a dipping sauce (like vegan fish sauce or some other savory sauce you can make), stir-fried greens in a little healthy oil (like canola), swapping out lettuce in sandwiches and burgers for spinach/collards/kale, adding a few handfuls of greens to any soup you make, and of course, adding a more neutral tasting green (like spinach) to smoothies. At the Asian Market, there are so many beautiful fresh greens that are perfect for hot pot, blanching, stir fry, soups etc. Of course, cooking your greens always makes it easier to eat more of them, so always cook them when you can! Lots of flavor = more delicious = wanting more greens 😉

    kombu seaweed, and other seaweed, has very high iodine, and some fruits too. also, calcium can be obtained from other things besides greens, seeds especially almonds, legumes especially soy, some grains especially quinoa, and some fruits. its in quite a lot of plant foods. just pointing out some additional sources

    Make sure to shake the plant milk a LOT because all the calcium sinks to the bottom and most of the fortification is left as a thick liquid stuck to the end of the bottle when you throw it out otherwise.

    Protein ball recipe from video:

    3/4 cup quick oats
    80g protein powder
    2/3 cup peanut butter
    1/3 cup maple syrup
    1/3 cup ground flax
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/8 tap salt
    1/4 cup chocolate chips
    (Q: any alternative suggestions for banana in this? I wonder if it would work with apple sauce [i hate the taste of raw banana but wanna try this recipe, I wonder if it would bake well? Will test and come back with results])

    2 cups sounds like it could potentially be too much kale or greens for some people. I eat one or two servings every day. Greens are particularly good in stews.
    It's not necessary to get more than 600-700mg of calcium per day to be healthy, for most people. Excess calcium can have potentially negative health effects. I stay away from most fortified plant milk as it often contains too much calcium. If you eat alot of beans in your diet, you're easily going to hit that 600-700mg calcium goal.
    Vitamin A actually isn't rare among plant foods- any food that has some orange or red color will tend to have substantial amounts. Even foods like potatoes or khorosan wheat (kamut), barley or farro will still have some beta carotene.

      Yes. Broccoli contains very little calcium, especially compared to other greens. You would have to eat over two kilograms of it every day to meet calcium requirements. As per sesame seeds, only unhulled (the big, round, green ones) contain calcium, and it’s not particularly well absorbed due to their phytic acid content.
