I am an older man now. Most won't believe me, saying it online, I still know it is true and some people see me, but not how far go, or could still go, it won't be the many miles I do or can do that they see, I figure from my experience well over a dozen. I walk faster than others, which I really could not do before, and I do it all barefoot, which I could not do before. I didn't even know I could come to doing this, and how I might, when I made changes that led to this, just knowing there could be betterment with those. I can squat just fine and get up again without trouble, that was not that easy before, my legs being strong now.

  • I do well (lemmy.world)
     

    Few know how healthy it can be with eating a healthy vegan way. I am old, after years of being vegan, and can do things I could not earlier in life, and even what others generally can't do. Whole foods from plants would be very healthy for us. I found it out eating whole foods from plants for ten and a half years now and I see real benefits from it. It wasn't any sacrifice with tasty meals I learned to make and enjoy more than anything.

     

    We should value a world we can have where all might flourish and live in peace. This can be without any animals being slaughtered. I found there is a much healthier way to eat, with tasty meals, having a variety of whole foods from plants and removing anything else from the regular diet, and with this there is energy for activity that is also beneficial to us. I have gone well over a decade this way. I really see benefits including more energy in older age in my life.

    The way I found (lemmy.world)
     

    I care for animals with speaking about it. I was vegan already, and for years, while not knowing I could even be healthy with it. Yet I found the way it could be. I really eat only foods, whole foods, from plants, and nothing else, and have had this way well over a decade already. I am doing really very well with my older age, too.

    I understand though that no one is interested in change to this way without meals tasting really good, I have managed that for me, and have really wonderful meals.

     

    I am vegan for animals, indeed, and there are other issues, but I learned the healthy way, it is not just what would be vegan for us, it is with variety of whole foods from plants and avoiding processed stuff that comes in many foods people eat. I do this since I learned to for the much better health there is with this a few years after being vegan, and I benefit noticeably from ten and a half years with it, there is my direct experience.

     

    I have been vegan over thirteen years, and with having the whole foods way over ten and a half years. I never cared for the faux meat stuff, not even finding them when I went vegan, and was vegetarian for several years before that. I generally keep using various sorts of beans and sometimes other legumes, now it is generally often lentils. I use hummus a lot, in meals I cook it is with medium salsa. I get plant-based milks too. Potato, whole grain pastas, quinoa, multi whole grain bread, whole grain tortilla, jackfruit, just about everything else from the produce section. I love getting the variety possible with this. I am in very good shape for my age with this.

    I don't think you will find much current information to support that. It has protein, almost anything does still. It has enough nutrition for a chick to develop, we do not need the cholesterol from it, that is detrimental for us.

  • Issues with eggs (lemmy.world)
     

    Eggs or anything else from animals will not help for better health. And, wherever eggs are taken from chickens, they are depleted, as it takes up important reserves. They should not lay so much but those domesticated were bred for laying eggs so much. If there are no chicks produced from that it is best for the chickens to feed on the eggs, shells included, to recover lost minerals and nutrition given into the eggs. Those are for little chickens to grow, it would not work right for human people.

     

    No meat from animals, directly or indirectly, still being animal flesh, is so good for us. If that is all you have, it can keep you from starving. But there are better things that will not contribute cholesterol and lead to clogging up arteries, or any future cancers. Just eating the healthy things for food that are from plants can be so good without such problems to health like those. And I would not fall for that promotion of lab meat that animals are not facing any harm that way. Cultures for it do not go on lasting anyway, fresh sources will continually be needed for any lab meat. Where would they get the animals from? There will be a supply of them kept, still. It would be less harm, maybe, but not ridding harm to animals. Reasons to really be vegan don't go away. This excerpt is from text I copied by hand from Dr. Matthew Lederman in the Forks Over Knives Plan. I care others who would benefit would know there is this information. "Prevent and reverse the leading chronic ailments, even reverse heart disease and diabetes. Other diseases that are also positively impacted by this type of diet include: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and overall mortality. Cancer is also significantly affected by this diet. In fact, the foods that make up this diet are the exact same foods that were recommended in the first "surviving cancer" dietary recommendations. There is also evidence that a plant-based diet may reduce the risk of diverticular disease, gallstones, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and kidney disease. Furthermore, after switching to a plant-based diet, people routinely report experiencing or seeing in others improvements in a range of ailments, including osteoporosis, arthritis, headaches, acne, asthma, sexual dysfunction, reflux, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, dementia, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, infertility, insomnia, and sleep apnea."

    I blog and share on media. It is not forcing anyone, but I do not hold back the relevant information I find, that shows this way I speak of, the healthy way for eating plants and not having stuff taken from animals used for that, to have it seen by anyone, that without being forced what they choose they still realize these things. Why should any be left ignorant? It is not with me being emotional about it still. Things may be sad without my being emotionally sad.

    It is all connected, this can be found to be true. Demand runs factory farming continually. Chickens are held captive until slaughtered however it is done and they value their eggs. Do you really not eat other meat? No meat is making you healthier than you could be with a variety of whole foods all from plants. And there are tasty meals, that I know about, this way. I can be a source of helpful information for that, but there are other ways of having information for that.
