Healthy on a Vegan Diet

KALE This is a leafy green vegetable from the Brassica family of vegetables which include Broccoli, Cauliflower and Brussel Sprouts. It’s probably one of the most nutrient-dense foods that you can eat and is loaded with antioxidants and bioavailable nutrients to maintain your health. Kale contains a significant amount of Beta-Carotene, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin, which are good for the eyes, immune system, skin, and general health. Lutein was found to significantly increase hydration and elasticity and lipid levels of the skin in human volunteers that consumed 10 mg of lutein daily for 12 weeks. There was further improvement if lutein-based cream was …

Another garden update! I’ve put almost all the plants in their best places after observing the sun and shadows during different times of the day. Everything seems fine, no transplant shock or any signs of the plant not doing well. The tomatoes are now at the side of my house, 3 of them planted near the trellis to the left and 1 on the right side near the greenhouse.

Its been a few weeks now since I started to garden and grow my own food. I hope it all works out because this is my first time trying!

That’s okay, I think it’s a good success rate for my first …

There have been some big changes lately in my diet. Over the years of eating a healthy both cooked and raw diet, I noticed that I felt better after a raw meal rather than a cooked one. I never really thought about this other than at the moment I experienced it. Cooked meals make me feel heavier, less sharp and I started to experience intermittent signs of acid reflux which led to some swallowing issues. This problem was solved by eating Manuka Honey. It not only healed my throat and stomach but allowed me to eat properly again. I believe the …

I’m still experimenting with removing certain foods out of my diet in order to help with the nasal symptoms I’ve been having. They’ve been going on for a while now and nothing has worked to help get rid of the problem. One possible reason could be certain foods I’m eating. My diet has changed drastically over the last few years, and perhaps I have an allergy to some food and this is what is causing the problem. It’s difficult to gauge the success of removing foods from your diet and symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms can take days to appear, and sometimes symptoms …
