Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, August 10, 2022 11:00 AM I'm not a vegetarian (although my wife and son have dabbled with it). I'm certainly not a vegan. I don't recommend that anyone eat a totally plant-based diet for health reasons. Animal foods are too good, too central to our evolutionary history, and too important for our physiology to ever give up entirely. On the contrary, I think meat, eggs, seafood, and dairy are some of the healthiest foods on the planet, and most people should be eating more of them than they currently eat. However, plant-based diets are exploding in popularity and I know people are going to eat them—and I care about people's health. If they're going to do it anyway, I'd like to help them do the diet in the healthiest way possible. Eat Whole Foods Don't live off plant-based "meats" or lab-grown garbage. Ditch the Tofurkey and Facon. Don't eat canola-soaked fake chicken nuggets and mockeroni. If you insist on eating things engineered to resemble meat, maybe you should just listen to your body and eat meat. But you don't want to do that—right? Don't Base Your Diet on Grains There are dozens of reasons why grains are unhealthy, particularly as a staple food. They're high in anti-nutrients—chemical compounds that damage your stomach lining and impair your absorption of the nutrients the grains are supposedly so rich in. They're not even that high in micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, especially when you consider the phytic acid in the grains often reduces your absorption of minerals. They're high in carbs, which most people need to be reducing in their diets, not increasing. But the main reason is that there are hundreds of better plant foods to base your diet on other than grains. Legumes like beans and lentils Nuts and seeds Potatoes (complete protein) Sweet potatoes Winter squash Beets, carrots, rutabagas, turnips, and other root vegetables Eat Healthy Fats Avoid all industrial seed oils. Following a plant-based diet will necessarily increase your linoleic acid content. Therefore, you don't need any more and seed oils are the densest source around. Instead, use extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, red palm oil, coconut oil, and macadamia nut oil. These will provide stable saturated and monounsaturated fats that won't go rancid or oxidize very easily, and they'll keep your linoleic acid content low. Eat Mushrooms Regularly Mushrooms are a different category of living thing entirely. They aren't animals and they aren't plants. As such, they seem to offer special benefits and unique nutrients to plant-based dieters. For one, they can be a rich repository of vitamin D, which is a common stumbling block for plant-based dieters. Two, they offer that meaty umami punch that so many vegan and vegetarians are looking for in fake meat products. The beauty of the mushroom is it provides that without being a processed junk food product. Warning: they may have a degree of sentience, depending on who you ask (and which mushrooms you eat). Listen for any sub perceptible screams or cries of anguish when you … Continue reading "Modifying Your Plant-Based Diet" The post Modifying Your Plant-Based Diet appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
