VEGAN FACTS - WHAT VEGETARIAN ARTICLES DON’T TELL YOU

What Most Vegetarian Articles, Websites, and Books Forget to Mention

Many of our standard dishes taste like baby food and branches unless … you can cook like vegan-chef-jedi.

Yes, then vegetarian food can be quite amazing. You wouldn’t want me to cook vegan food for you though. It’s also worth mentioning that dining out can be an arduous task if you live in the Midwest. The good news is bigger cities in the U.S. (or California) are quite accommodating towards plant-based dining.

That said, I have plant-based dishes I enjoy a lot and I’m super-glad I went green.

Do I like them as much as I used to like meat? It’s close, but it’s just not the same.

There are some bad-ass veggie burgers out now though.

Also, some of the new vegan protein powders on the market (e.g. Garden of Eden, PlantFusion, etc.) are impressive and taste just as good as anything out there.

“But here’s the deal: I didn’t become vegetarian/vegan for pleasure and to make my life more comfortable. I did it for better health and moral reasons. And like many things in life, there’s give and take, and a price to pay for what we want.”

I’m all in. I’m willing to sacrifice a little flavor for eight more years of vibrant life and a better planet. I know my furry friends are grateful, as well.

Sometimes I miss meat, but then I remember what I’ve seen in videos and how grossly animals are treated. When I remember this, my mind plays a trick on me, and the idea of eating meat makes me literally nauseous. I’m not saying this to be dramatic, this is precisely what happens.

I wasn’t always this way when I started to become vegetarian, but the more exposed to the images of the inhumane slaughtering of animals I became, the more this switchover happened.

Managing Expectations

I wrote this article for the person considering a plant-based diet because I wish someone had tactfully, and unapologetically, told me in the beginning:

That vegetarian food may not taste as good at first* (even though there are some great recipes).

Eating out isn’t nearly as fun in most parts of the country.

The return on investment in terms of health and “spiritual currency” is worth it.

*I acknowledge that others feel differently. I think the biggest majority (not all) of that group aren’t being honest with themselves for the sake of making the case for a vegetarian lifestyle.

I think it matters when people tell us the complete truth.

It shows authentic confidence when the time comes to explain our lifestyle to others.

This can go a long way, because when we also disclose/address the negative side of things, it feels less like a sales pitch and gains trust. It also better prepares us for the journey ahead and can lend itself to a higher chance of success.

Besides, isn’t the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle supposed to include this brand of truth?

Feedback from our Audience

Troy T. Seman wrote the comment below in response to this article and I felt is was worth sharing another view that both compliments and deviates from my own. But that’s the point, we can always learn from one another and don’t need to be afraid of views that challenge our own:

I really enjoyed that you were honest with people. I would add to the list certain social aspects of eating vegan and mention that food is cultural.

There is a HUGE social aspect to how and what we eat. Humans bond over food. This means you’ll probably develop social ties to other vegans, and ironically, some vegans can be the cruellest people [towards other humans].

I did vegan for a year. Yes, the food didn’t taste as good. Eating out is a  total b—-!  Vegetarian restaurants tend to close early. And, Mom feels bad when you bring all your own food even at holidays. 

The social aspect of being vegan, I feel, really needs to be communicated to people.

I spent a couple years trying foods and making vegan dishes before I took the plunge but nothing really prepared me for what was to come. Your family and friends will be put out or simply won’t want to go to restaurants with vegan options, or won’t want to make special food at gatherings and it’s a pain to bring enough of your own food to share.

So food is social. Food is cultural. That is an aspect to the vegan discussion that often gets left out.

Anyway. I digress. Thank you for your honesty!

Get Your Cholesterol Levels Under Control in 21 Days or Less -This One Fruit Wards Off Cardiovascular Disease

Fruit is one of the healthiest types of foods we can consume – we know this already.

Like vegetables, they are packed with flavonoids and a plethora of health properties.

But not all fruits are created equal – some are much healthier than others.

And now researchers have discovered one fruit teeming with flavonoids that  fights obesity, unhealthy cholesterol, and insulin resistance.

Citrus fruit contains a flavonoid called nobiletin. It is especially abundant in sweet oranges and tangerines.

When they occur together, obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance constitute a condition called the metabolic syndrome. It is a serious risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The dyslipidemia component is high LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol because it clogs our blood vessels), low HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol because it removes LDL-cholesterol), and/or high triglycerides that are fats that circulate in our blood streams.

Mice were fed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet to trigger obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance.

The mice were then given nobiletin to see the effects compared to the group that did not receive it.

The nobiletin-fed mice weighed substantially less than the other group. They also had significantly lower levels of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.

In those mice that already had a buildup of plaques in their arteries, they noticed that the plaques were getting smaller as a result of the nobiletin.

The scientists thought that it had an effect on AMP Kinase, which is the mechanism that regulates our bodies’ ability to burn fat for energy.

Other research suggests that nobiletin slows down the process of dementia, improves glucose and fat metabolism, reduces insulin resistance, and reduces inflammation and oxidation that damage blood vessels in cardiovascular disease.

Get Your Cholesterol Levels Under Control in 21 Days or Less - This Common Oil Stops Stroke and Heart Attack

Oil has had a bad rep. For years we were told to avoid it. But many studies now show that this generalization is misplaced, and some oils are indeed good.

In fact, according to research published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings this particular oil is full of antioxidants and dramatically cuts the risk of heart attacks and strokes by an astonishing 20%.

The hype about Omega-3 fatty acids is real. Oils, such as fish oil and olive oil, which contain omega-3 oil, are very heart healthy.

Researchers wanted to know what effect Omega-3 had on coronary heart disease (CHD), including heart attacks, sudden cardiac deaths, coronary deaths (including strokes), and angina.

They found that Omega-3 oils:

Cut CHD risk by 18% (something no drug can do!).

Lower CHD risk in people with high triglycerides (fats) in their blood by 16% and in people with high LDL (bad) cholesterol by 14%.

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid, meaning that you have to consume it in your diet, as your body is not capable of manufacturing it from other substances.

Fish, such as salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel, trout, sturgeon, anchovies, and sardines, is a common and easy-to-find source of Omega-3 fatty acid. Three portions of fish a week will give you enough omega-3 to reap the rewards.

Get Your Cholesterol Levels Under Control in 21 Days or Less -Omega-3 might be easy to consume, but there’s more to dropping cholesterol than eating fish. Here is how I got my cholesterol under control and cleared out my 93% clogged arteries – just by cutting out one ingredient.

Get Your Cholesterol Levels Under Control in 21 Days or Less -Your Fingers Indicate Heart Attack Risk Years Before the Event

One of the problems with heart health is that once the problem appears, it takes a great deal of effort to reverse it. Sometimes undergoing surgery or taking dangerous drugs for a sustained period are the only options.

But how about if you could detect heart attack risk 10 – 20 years before any obvious symptoms appear? This would give you plenty of time to make minor, positive changes to prevent the big bang.

A new, completely non-invasive test does just that. You don’t even have to have your blood or urine taken – all you have to do is look at your fingers.

According to Dr. Chris Renna, a physician at Lifespan Medicine,the EndoPat test predicts the risk of having a heart attack and determines the health of blood vessels, which play a big role in healthy cardio functioning.

People use this test as an indicator of their cardio health levels, and whether they are doing enough to remain healthy in their later years.

Those undergoing the EndoPat test are hooked up to sensors that are placed on each of their fingers. After the sensors are in place, blood pressure cuffs are used to stop the blood flow in one hand.

When the cuff is deflated, the manner in which the blood flow recovers is measured by the sensors.

In healthy patients, the blood flow is prevented by the inflation of the cuff, but when it is deflated, the blood flow spikes, before returning to normal. Those that display signs of abnormal heart functioning will only recover to the point that the blood flow was at before the cuff was inflated and when it was stopped – there is no spike.

If a patient’s test is abnormal, it’s likely they will end up experiencing problems with their heart later. The good news is this test allows the chance to take preventative action.
