Vegans Have Cleaner Basements<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Vegans, you\u2019ve all been grilled on how you get your protein. Perhaps you\u2019re sick of being asked, but I actually think it\u2019s still a good question. Most people don\u2019t know what to do and even feel paralyzed by the idea of changing their food habits to reflect less reliance on animals.\u00a0 For their entire lives they\u2019ve decided their dinner menu based first on what meat was available and then how to complement it with the right starch and vegetable.\u00a0 This decision-making process is based on successful media propaganda, culture and tradition; all of which are very powerful players.\u00a0 If it\u2019s going to change, then we have to first look at the common myths out there and also see if our own approach to Vegan eating is based on correct information.<\/p>\n

Myths and Assumptions About Animal-based Vs. Plant-based Protein<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Children need animal-based protein to ensure proper growth and development.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. A meal is not a REAL one unless it involves meat.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. There is no way you can feel physically satisfied unless you\u2019ve had animal-based protein in a meal.<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. The amount of food a Vegan needs to consume is substantially higher in order to get enough protein.<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. If you\u2019re not eating animal protein, then you have to rely on soy protein powders, shakes and bars in order to fulfill your daily requirement.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Children<\/strong>:\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look first at mother\u2019s milk.\u00a0 It has absolutely everything a growing child needs during the period of the most rapid growth and brain development. The average protein concentration in mother\u2019s milk is a comparatively low 1.4%.\u00a0 Most infants are weaned around their first birthday and then oftentimes are switched over to cow\u2019s milk.\u00a0 But while mother\u2019s milk was designed for human children, cow\u2019s milk was designed for calves.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a perfect replacement for mother\u2019s milk as so many assume that it is.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need animal protein per se; we need the amino acids that are inside that protein.\u00a0 There are 21 amino acids that our body needs for optimal physical health, 9 of which we can only get by consuming them.\u00a0 Those 9 amino acids can all be found in plant-based foods.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Is It Still A Real Meal? <\/strong>It takes time and creativity to adjust your thinking here.\u00a0 If you\u2019re new to Veganism, experiment with new recipes, get ideas from other people, go to a Vegan restaurant but more importantly accept a paradigm shift in your thinking because it\u2019s not based on fact.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Meal Satisfaction<\/strong>: To feel satiated after a meal is an interesting concept.\u00a0 It has to do with how your opinion of the taste combined with the circumstances around it.\u00a0 In other words, it\u2019s the difference between eating a meal while enjoying a good conversation and a pleasing ambience and one that takes place in your car between errands.\u00a0 But in terms of physical satisfaction with the food itself it does need to have substance.\u00a0 No one wants to be starving 30 minutes later.\u00a0 Satisfying plant protein sources include quinoa, nut and seed-based butters or other dishes, avocado<\/em><\/strong>, potatoes, whole grains, spirulina, smoothies, legumes, fermented soy, etc. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Vegans Need Double The Food.<\/strong>\u00a0 This is perhaps the greatest misunderstanding out there right now since the opposite is actually true.\u00a0 The USDA nutrient database suggests that 1 out of 10 calories consumed should be a protein calorie.\u00a0 That means if you\u2019re an adult female you need roughly 46 grams a day and for males about 56 grams. But if you look at other research conducted around the world, it suggests that 25-35 grams is a better estimate and perhaps even less if that protein is consumed from live foods.\u00a0 The standard American diet has most people eating 50% more protein than they actually need.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a list of some foods and their protein content:<\/p>\n

    Artichoke Hearts:<\/strong> 1 cup=8 grams<\/p>\n

    Avocado:<\/strong> 1 medium=4 grams<\/p>\n

    Black and Adzuki Beans:<\/strong> \u00bd cup=9 grams<\/p>\n

    Broccoli:<\/strong> 1 cup=5 grams<\/p>\n

    Hemp Seeds:<\/strong> 2 tbsp. =5 grams<\/p>\n

    Spirulina:<\/strong> 1 cup=64.37 grams<\/p>\n

    Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas):<\/strong> 1 cup=15 grams<\/p>\n

    Lentils:<\/strong> \u00bd cup=10 grams<\/p>\n

    Baked Potato with Skin:<\/strong> 5 grams<\/p>\n

    Bok Choy:<\/strong> \u00bd a head=6 grams<\/p>\n

    Dates<\/strong>: 1 cup=3.6 grams<\/p>\n

    Zucchini<\/strong>: 1 medium=4 grams<\/p>\n

    Sundried Tomatoes<\/strong>: 1 cup=8 grams<\/p>\n

    So, let\u2019s put a quick meal together using some of these ingredients.\u00a0 Shredded zucchini lightly saut\u00e9ed in coconut oil then combined with canned chickpeas, sundried tomatoes, fresh garlic, sea salt and pepper.\u00a0 <\/em>That meal will provide you with about 15-20 grams of protein<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Powders, Shakes and Bars<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yes, they’re convenient but it\u2019s not at all necessary and you stand to overdose on protein by relying on them as meal replacements.<\/p>\n

    I read an excerpt from a book by Dr. Gabriel Cousins recently which dealt with the health of our bodies at the cellular level.\u00a0 He referred to the Wendt Doctrine, a 30-year research study conducted by a group of German physicians looking at the relationship between protein consumption and degenerative diseases.\u00a0 They found that excess protein clogs the basement membrane, which is a filtering membrane, located between capillaries and cells.\u00a0 This membrane helps regulate the flow of nutrients and waste products between capillaries, cells and fluid in the tissues.\u00a0 The more excess protein there is in the diet the more protein is lodged in the basement membrane.\u00a0 This eventually leads to a clogged membrane and is the start of ill health. They also found that abstaining from animal protein and consuming a plant-based lower protein diet reversed that state.<\/p>\n

    So if you\u2019re Vegan congratulate yourself and then feel free to tell your friends and co-workers that you have a cleaner basement. I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll get it right away!<\/em><\/p>\n
