A brief explainer of the Whole-food Plant-based Diet

Here's a nice straightforward explanation of what the whole-food plant-based diet is that I would like to share with you. As you'll see, it's pretty simple really. And I like that they say at the end it's not really a "diet"; it's a "lifestyle".

That's how I like to think of it, and it's not something to be afraid of. "Diet" makes it sound like depriving ourselves to lose weight. But really the WFPB lifestyle is a complete change of heart in how we view what we choose to eat. Everything we put in our mouths we intend to be real, health-giving nutritious food. And it's not hard to find. It's just a matter of choice. Give it for health!

"The WFPB diet doesn’t include any meat, dairy, or eggs. It’s not, however, the same as a vegan diet, which is defined only by what it eliminates. A WFPB diet is defined also by what it emphasizes: a large variety of whole foods."

Vegan Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Recipe

It's fall in the northern hemisphere, and here in the United States it's all about "pumpkin". It's funny how different cultures view this wonderful (in my opinion) vegetable. Growing up in New Zealand, pumpkin was a regular feature in the "Sunday roast of lamb". Now when I was growing up it was still the steam age in the mind of many of the younger generation, and the traditional family roast of lamb can in no way, shape, or form can any longer be considered "traditional". An interesting cultural difference was that British immigrants back then turned their noses up at pumpkin because where they came from it was considered nothing more than cow fodder. Interesting, eh! No doubt that attitude has changed now too. Pumpkin doesn't seem to get much airing here in the U.S. until the fall and Halloween come around. Then it's BIG! Jack-o-Lantern carving parties, pumpkin flavored coffee beverages at Starbucks, and of course, pumpkin pie at th

The Importance of Vitamin B12 in the Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease

There is one vitamin that all vegans and vegetarians MUST take as a supplement, and that is vitamin B12. There are two reasons for this. First, vitamin B12 is an "essential" vitamin, which means it is something we must have otherwise we will develop a deficiency disease, but it is a vitamin that is not made by our bodies so must be consumed from food or supplements. Food is always better than supplements, but because of the nature of vitamin B12 we basically have no option other than to take a vitamin B12 supplement. Which leads to the second reason why we need to supplement vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is actually created by bacteria in soil and is not found in plants. In the past, we were able to get the small doses of vitamin B12 that we need from the residual soil left on plants that we ate. However today we don't forage for food, and most of us don't grow our own vegetables, but rather we head off to the supermarket or grocery store and buy bags of triple-was
