WHAT'S MOST NUTRIENT DENSE? PLANTS OR LIVER???

Описание: If you like the work Vegan Linked is doing and want to help us keep the cameras rolling considering contributing here: https://veganlinked.com/fundme/
All the nutrients you need originate from plants without the stuff you don't need that the animal's DNA created for that animal. Name ONE nutrient we need from animals that animals make that we can't get from plants.

I have noticed whenever Dr. Michael Greger or Nutrition Facts posts something, like on Twitter, about nutrient density people go bonkers with assumptions and a misunderstanding of what nutrient density is. Lately I’ve been hearing people say the same thing or hint around to it on my channel and social media. So, maybe this will shed some light on things.

Reductionism is a way of looking at single nutrients. This is actually a very scientific approach, if you’re a scientist you want to focus on a specific nutrient and hone in on mechanisms of action. But, as a lay person, like me, it’s better to focus on whole foods, holism. Really, doctors should too because they aren’t “scientist” perse. And they would encourage their patients not to supplement with pills but let food by thy medicine.

Unfortunately, people think protein is the most important nutrient. It’s as if they think it’s the only nutrient. The question isn’t “where do I get my protein?” it should be “where do I get my fiber?”

All nutrients are important in their own right. And there’s still so much that we don’t know, even the people who know the most. And studies are done on the general population, which may not necessarily apply to someone on restricted diets. So, even RDA’s may not be accurate. Esp. since activity level, environmental factors, genetics, and lifestyle of course play a part.

So, I don’t supplement (except B12 which comes from bacteria, not animals or plants). And I don’t count calories. And I don’t worry about protein. I just eat when I’m hungry and try to keep it as healthy, diverse, balanced and whole food as possible. And, all in all, I don’t want to be neurotic about it, so I may not be all the perfect. But it’s easy when I immerse myself in whole foods by only having those around. And understanding the health benefits is extremely inspiring to take the time and at least cut up a head of romaine and throw a can of chickpeas, or peas, or kidney beans, or black beans, etc… on it, along with various seeds, artichoke, olives, a little nooch, herbs, raisins, vinegar, etc… whatever. Easy, I can do this before someone has a grill hot and ready.

There’s some other topics I need to tackle but for now I need to get back to work! Hope this isn’t vegan cheesy and makes sense lol
