Vegan Deficiencies

While veganism with a whole food, plant-based diet has huge health benefits, there are unmistakable nutritional deficiencies in pure veganism, but they are not what is commonly assumed, i.e., protein deficiency

The most obvious one is B12, and most vegans know that they must take a B12 supplement to correct this. But other less obvious common deficiencies include: Omega 3 fats DHA and EPA, iodine, zinc, calcium, choline, vitamin d3, and the essential amino acid lysine.

Therefore, while the vegan diet, of all the diets, may be the healthiest, it needs to be tweaked quite a bit for one to avoid these very specific deficiencies on a pure vegan diet, which all can have seriously negative impacts on one’s health.

What Is Healthy Cooking?

Vegan Cooks

So many really brilliant vegan youtubers. I regularly follow about 5 of them and have learned a lot from each. These people are just so clever and imaginative with food. Here is the latest genius vegan cook I’ve been following. Does these simple but very healthy and original meals:

Fiber and Your Health

Weight Control

On a plant-based, whole foods diet, you can eat as much as you want and not gain weight. Such food is nutritional dense but calorie lean. No calorie counting, no fretting about weight, no worries. What’s not to like?

Nutrition Chaos

If you read widely in terms of nutrition, you see every claim made by a particular group will have counter claims made by opposing groups — each group having a set bias in terms of advocating a specific diet. So it is much like a war of competing claims. Therefore, there is little doubt that as a science, nutrition is perhaps the most controversial area of study, given this background of competing vested interests.

But there is little to doubt on one point that has been proven over and over again with statistically sound evidence from large-scale experiments — that the vegan, plant-based diet is the healthiest relative to longevity and overall health, and this by a large margin when compared to any other sort of diet.

So if you want to live a long life and in good health, the choice to do so — to the extent you can influence it — is absolutely clear.

Sadly, relatively few people make that choice because they don’t want to give up the foods they have come to enjoy — despite the consequences. The vast majority of people make a compromise with the devil sacrificing their health for pleasure.
