…??? Now I’m raw vegan, b*otch.

I’m happy to write some stuff up, but but in the meantime I have friends that compete in professional body building and strength comps they have a site already set up for general vegan health questions and nutrition especially for body builders and active people. I don’t have this handy at present but I’ll give them a call and get the
website.

Vegans like anyone though can be very unhealthy, especially now with fake meats and products
hitting the market like no tomorrow. Which can have higher amounts of sugar salts and fats. some may be good in moderation a quick nutritional rule if thumb the less processed the better.

I’ll get that site for you soon. Where abouts is the discussion. I’m from Australia the current fatest country in the world, so nutrition is starting to get pushed very hard in our media now.

If I could post to there’s and contact there’s Writter I would. They speak about calcium being the best source from milk thus is blatanty wrong just to let all know I’m also a body builder and semi pro fighter. I don’t supplement at all except b12 in vegan milk
Based products.

It seems whom ever wrote the original article had some major biases and no proper current reaseac h.

Any diet where a person doesn’t consume a variety of foods restricts vitamin and mineral intack and having one intack out of wack can cause further problems with other vitamins and minerals and that also means having to much.
But the down side of eating meat and diary are fairly well known now, increased rates of being overweight increased risk of cancer bone disorders bowl issues and so on. Being vegan with a proper diet is healthier I’m unsure of the raw aspect at least being 100% raw could have downfalls but as I’m not raw and haven’t studied on this I cannot comment. But like u said in the original comments eat enough food to Live a healthy life with variet and drink plenty of clean water and vegan diets will help to promote a healthier life but don’t be confused you can have overweight vegans to.

I’ve had a chance to read over the comments and your comment stuck out.

B12 is very important for the human body, but we store much of it over time. If a person went from eating meat and or diary to vegan it should take 5-15years to be diffient. So if you went 1 year vegan and are having b12 issues there is moat probably something very wrong. B12 has been found to absorb in small amounts more frequently then in large amounts. A good supplement is a fortified soy milk or similar. You may need continually shots though as you said it occurred after 1 year being vegan. Other vitamins and minerals can play a role in obsorbtion so watch these.

There are also current studies determining if we can obsorb the b12 which is produced in our bodys in the lower intestine, seems very interesting.

I for 1 have been a vegan for over 5 years own and run a health company and studied in nutrition.

Vit d firstly is produced photochemically in the skin.
2- bone issues, “calcium” this is another major issue a vegan that ears enough calories to live a healthy life will consume enough calcium to promote bones to become denser. Up to the age of around 35 our bones are getting denser then they begine to decrease in size. Conclusive studies have found the one important thing to increase bone density is density training “weights” “running” so on anything that puts inpacks the bone.

A further point on this many foods that are high in calcium ex diary actually are also filled with antinutriants or toxins which can take much needed vitamins out of the body. You need 2 parts magnesium and high vitamin d to obsorb calcium.

Please people read actually health articles published by “who” and others look up blue zones on the Internet these are zones where people peodomiantly live to over 100 and there diets are vegan.

In Australia by 2020 we will have a 25% obese rate. That’s 1 in 4 people will be obese this does not include just overweight people. Vegan diets are not the problem look around read learn and learn to quickly read through bull s***.

The difficulty comes in when one caters to a child who was at first raised on the standard American diet (SAD) and expects the same textures, flavors, etc. and therefore refuses the new and different diet so the weak parent is boxed in to only a few of the wide variety of things that should be in the child’s diet so as to insure adequate vegetable sourced protein and other nutrients are consumed.

The strong parent educates his or her self and as time goes on the child also on these nutrients, prepares nutritionally bountiful meals and insists the child eat correctly which results in a slender but awesomely healthy, balanced, intelligent and beautiful child blossoming forth. I know as I am watching this happen not only in my family but several others right now. Our view of what is healthy is in many cases skewed in this country to see fat as healthy and slender as sickly whereas both ranges can be malnourished and unhealthy but only one of these can be healthy.

Being overweight is always unhealthy and is caused by toxicity and malnourishment. To reiterate, it is absolutely necessary that one study and research to do ANY diet correctly and not just assume that a little of this and a little of that is going to cover a child’s needs, not to mention the other stages in our lives.

At this point a organic raw vegetarian diet offers the BEST NUTRITION POSSIBLE for the human body when done correctly but JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DIET can be devastating to the health if done incorrectly.

Yet, i have not paid close attention to balance, i am depleted in vitamin D and B12.
so i am taking supplements now. Also there is a famous family storm and jingee who have 5 raw kids, they are skinny, but she tales them for check ups and they are in perfect health the oldest is 12 the youngest 2.

so you just have to research and know what you are doing with any eating regime.
