We all know that we would benefit from eating more

We all know that we would benefit from eating more veggies. However, actually doing so is that challenging part. But in 2021, we are not just talkers; we are doers. So what are some of the things you can do to make eating veggies more enjoyable so that you actually don’t mind eating more of them? First of all, you want to learn how to correctly season your veggies. The following spices and herbs tend to go great with vegetables, so use them freely and frequently: rosemary, oregano, basil, parsley, cumin, thyme, lemongrass, coriander, dill, ginger, garlic, and curry. You can also try Sriracha, hot sauce, low sodium soy sauce, or adding nuts and seeds. Undoubtedly, steaming is the healthiest way to cook most vegetables because the nutrient loss is minimal. But a lot of people don’t enjoy steamed veggies. So another thing you can try to roast them in the oven. You’ll see how incredibly tasty veggies can be. Also, there are so many different kinds of vegetables available, so it’s kind of natural that you don’t like each and every single one of them. So, don’t try to force yourself to eat the ones you don’t like because that actually might be counterproductive because it may make you want to eat fewer vegetables overall. What is a vegetable that you just can’t stand but everyone else loves?

Although I know the importance of getting blood te

Although I know the importance of getting blood tests, I hate getting them. It’s been this way ever since I was a little child. So the day before I had to get a blood test, my mom gave me a pickled beet salad. She ensured that enting beets cleans your blood, so there was no need for me to worry because the blood test would come back with good results. Now, I haven’t found any scientific studies that back that statement up, but it sure helped take away some of my fear. Besidesbeets do have incredible health benefits, so even if they don’t clean blood, there are still plenty of other good reasons to enjoying this delicious food. Do you also hate getting blood tests, or is this something you don’t mind at all?

According to Dr. Greger, one of the most trusted p

According to Dr. Greger, one of the most trusted physicians advocating for a plant-based lifestyle, you need to 1️⃣eat at least 3 servings of B12 fortified foods throughout the day 2️⃣with one serving containing at least 190% of the daily value.
3️⃣You also need to make sure that each serving is at least 4-6 hours apart. The reason for this is that your body can only absorb up to 1,5 - 2 mcg B12 in the given timeframe, even if you consume more than that. And you need at least 4 mcg of vitamin B12 a day to meet your need. 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕12 𝗮𝗿𝗲

Let me introduce you to chickpeas, also known as

Let me introduce you to chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans or magic beans. Okay, I made up the last one, but hey, it is true. I’m amazed all the time about how versatile chickpeas can be. I mean, seriously, is there something that you can’t do with them? Crave a delicious spread - make hummus. Want a healthy snack - Roast them in the oven. Desire so vegan chicken nuggets? A burger? A no-tuna salad? No problem, the magic chickpea can do it all. And if she wasn’t doing enough, she is also incredibly healthy. Good for the body and good for the taste buds? Talk about magic? Or is it just plants 😉

The Daily Dozen list, created by Dr. Greger, is an

The Daily Dozen list, created by Dr. Greger, is an easy and practical tool to help you implement a nutrient-rich and health-promoting diet. The list contains 12 items that you should check off ✅ every day. Ten of them are food groups, along with suggestions on how many servings you should eat of each. The other two items promote a healthy lifestyle. What I love about The daily dozen list is that it encourages you to eat a varied, balanced, whole-foods diet without prescribing you what meals/recipes to make. It just helps you pick ingredients that will be the most beneficial for your health. It’s a convenient tool to make healthy vegan eating a lot easier and take away a lot of the stress around “What should I eat today.” Still, there are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind. Have you tried the Daily Dozen list? What was your experience?

Do plant foods have vitamin B12? Well, in short:

Do plant foods have vitamin B12? Well, in short: some do, most don't. But either way, plants are not a reliable source of vitamin B12. Some foods, such as shitake mushrooms, fermented foods, and nori algae, contain small amounts of the vitamin but not nearly enough to allow you to reliably meet your vitamin B12 need with them. Also, it is uncertain how well the body can absorb the B12 available in these sources. So, even if a food has vitamin B12, that doesn't necessarily mean the body can use it. So, if you want to get your B12 from plants, then the only way to do so is through fortified foods.* But often, taking a vitamin B12 supplement is the easier, more affordable, and more reliable option to meet your vitamin B12 need.

1️⃣eat at least 3 servings of B12 fortified foods throughout the day

What is one of the best things about the cold seas

What is one of the best things about the cold season? That’s right, oranges! They are so flavorful and make any dark and gloomy day that much more bearable. Every once in a while, I treat myself to some delicious freshly squeezed orange juice, and each sip is a taste of heaven. No store-bought options could ever come close. Do you agree? Oranges are also great for on the go. You just put them in your bag, and once you want a snack, just peel it and enjoy. And if all of this isn’t enough to motivate you to eat more of them, then all the excellent health benefits they offer undoubtedly will. What’s your favorite way to enjoy oranges?

Vegans who regularly take a supplement and take it

Vegans who regularly take a supplement and take it in sufficient amounts (2000 mcg a week or, if you choose to supplement daily, 50 mcg a day) should have no problem meeting their vitamin B12 need. Still, because a deficiency can have very severe consequences, it is recommended to get regular blood tests done to check your vitamin B12 levels. In addition, it is good to be aware of some of the most common deficiency symptoms, so in case you experience any of them, you can seek medical advice. So, here are some of the most common deficiency symptoms you should look out for: Early deficiency symptoms:
➡Fatigue
➡Paleness
➡and anaemia. Symptoms of a severe deficiency:
➡Abnormalities in your blood
➡Depression
➡Dizziness
➡Dementia
➡Trouble concentrating
➡and confusion
