Welcome to How To Go Vegan podcast. Hopefully you’ve looked at the episode Introduction to Plant-based Nutrition which includes important information about Vitamin B12. If you haven’t listened to that particular episode I invite you to do so before listening to this one.  But if you listen to only one episode on this site, I invite  you to listen to Becoming Vegan: My Personal Experience Before I start, I would just like to say that at times I’m going to compare animal sources of various nutrients with plant based sources. If I do this, it’s simply to to demonstrate the clear health issues, backed by science. Although I do this, I want to be clear that for me, it wouldn’t matter if animal sourced-nutrients were better healthwise for us. Even if they were not harmful, I would not consume them because they are products of great violence and also because we can be vegan and we can easily meet our nutrition requires from plants and other non-animal sources. But I will demonstrate the differences between plant vs animal sources with some examples of non-animal nutrition studies, to demonstrate how superior a plant based diet is. Some of the information I’ll provide in these episodes about nutrition are sourced from a site Nutritionfacts.org which personally I find very beneficial. It freely provides regular science-based public information on the latest in nutrition research. So I invite you to check it out. And a please read my full disclaimer about external sites.

“Free Range” Eggs

An easy and comprehensive podcast guide for those interested in becoming vegan.

Beautiful, articulate perspectives on the value, morality, and purpose of a vegan life. Softly spoken with grace and eloquence, but not without conviction and a well-argued moral underpinning. Outstanding! Worthy of listening to again and again.

Absolutely Beautiful

How To Go Vegan Podcast : A Comprehensive Resource for Those Interested in Becoming Vegan

Excerpt: Welcome to How To Go Vegan podcast. Hopefully you’ve listened to the episode Introduction to Plant-based Nutrition which includes important information about Vitamin B12. If you haven’t listened to that particular episode I invite you to do so before listening to this one.  But if you listen to only one episode on this site, I invite  you to listen to Becoming Vegan: My Personal Experience Before I start, I would just like to say that at times I’m going to compare animal sources of various nutrients with plant based sources. If I do this, it’s simply to to demonstrate the clear health issues, backed by science. Although I do this, I want to be clear that for me (and other vegans I know), it wouldn’t matter if animal sourced-nutrients and animal products were better health-wise for us. Even if they were not harmful, I would not consume them because they are products of great violence and also because we can be vegan and we can easily meet our nutrition requires from plants and other non-animal sources. But I will demonstrate the differences between plant versus animal sources with some examples of non-animal nutrition studies, to demonstrate how superior a plant based diet is. Some of the information I’ll provide in these episodes about nutrition are sourced from a site Nutritionfacts.org which personally I find very beneficial. It freely provides regular science-based public information on the latest in nutrition research. So I invite you to check it out. And a please read my full disclaimer about external sites. So on to Magnesium. What most of us do not know is how important magnesium is to our overall health. One of the most significant factors in calcium deficiency is low levels of magnesium. Magnesium (as well as Vitamin D from sunlight or from supplements) is necessary for calcium uptake. If we do not have enough magnesium or Vitamin D, it would not matter how much calcium is in our diet, we can be deficient. Our major source of magnesium has always been plants. A little known fact is that deficiency in magnesium rather than calcium is mainly responsible for arthritis and osteoporosis. About 50 to 60% of a person’s magnesium is stored in the bone, and therefore, it plays a key role in bone metabolism. Studies have revealed that even a mild ongoing magnesium deficiency can lead to a significant amount of bone loss. Magnesium is a co-factor for over 100 enzymes involved in the control of blood sugar and glucose metabolism. As such, low magnesium status would be expected to have wide-ranging adverse effects on blood sugar control. A 2011 study, noted “magnesium is an essential mineral in whole grains, leafy green vegetables, legumes—meaning beans, peas, lentils and soy, and nuts, as well as seeds, that acts as a co-factor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the human body.” A diet low in magnesium has been linked to unwanted increases in the inflammatory process. Chronic and low-grade inflammation has increasingly been tied to increased risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Low magnesium has also been linked with depression. A considerable body of evidence indicates that a higher intake of dietary magnesium may favourably affect a cluster of metabolic and inflammatory disorders including many of our top killers like diabetes and heart disease. The number one killer of both men and women in the United States is heart disease. What most of us may not know is that according to the American Heart Association, the majority of Americans who die of heart disease, do not have any history of symptoms prior to their fatal heart attack. Their first symptom is literally minutes before they die. People dropping dead in their 30s 40s and 50s. Many autopsy reports of people who suddenly died this way with no prior history of heart problems revealed significantly low concentrations of magnesium in their heart muscle. Please listen to the full podcast episode to find out more about how important magnesium is to our health.  Thanks for listening    18,443 total views,  12 views today

Why Being Again? Shared with kind permission of Joanna Lucas.  Excerpt “Celeste left this world entirely on her own. She had been forced into existence by human greed, she had been a prisoner of a crippled body all of her short life, but she exited entirely on her own terms, just before noon, one summer day. Celeste, wherever you are, “Il y a longtemps que je t’aime, Jamais je ne t’oublierai.” “I’ve loved you for so long, I will never forget you”. This will be a life-filled year. Maybe not happy, maybe not comfortable, but beautiful, and true – like your life. Worth living. Worth beginning again.” Joanna Lucas  Joanna also writes “If living ethically is important to you, please remember that there is nothing humane about “humane” animal farming, just as there is nothing ethical or defensible about consuming its products. When confronted with the fundamental injustice inherent in all animal agriculture—a system that is predicated on inflicting massive, intentional and unnecessary suffering and death on billions of sentient individuals—the only ethical response is to strive to end it, by becoming vegan, not to regulate it by supporting “improved” methods of producing dairy, eggs, meat, wool, leather, silk, honey, and other animal products. For more information, please read The Humane Farming Myth. Live vegan and educate others to do the same.” Please read my disclaimer about external sites, social media groups, organisations, products, individuals mentioned or that appear on this site.   23,021 total views,  10 views today

Vegan : Easier Than You think

Part of a slow release of already existing episodes. “It’s been nearly 14 years since I had my vegan epiphany and vowed to never again partake of or participate in anything offered by the machine of violence that we call the animal industry. Since that time, my appreciation of veganism has continued to grow and deepen, until it has become such an integral part of my ethics and my values that I can no longer imagine being able to separate from it, and still be able to look at myself in the mirror with a clear conscience. To no longer be vegan would mean to deny the most obvious truth I have ever learned, and to turn my back on every single animal who is counting on me and others like me to advocate for them in a world where they are seen as disposable objects rather than sentient individuals. To no longer be vegan would mean to pretend that I do not know what is really going on – on the farms, in the hatcheries, in the slaughterhouses, in the laboratories, in the oceans, and everywhere else on this planet where animals are treated as resources for us to exploit. To no longer be vegan would mean to deny my true nature as a person who can feel for the pain of others, and who aspires to live as peacefully as she can in this far from peaceful world. To no longer be vegan would mean to return to a world of darkness, for it would require me to close my eyes to the light of moral progress that illuminates the way forward to a better world for us all. But perhaps an even more saddening thought is that it would require me to extinguish the light of my own integrity, which is the source of my faith in myself, and which I count on to show me my own next steps on my way to a better self.” Angel Flinn (Gentle World) To find essay start here Shared with kind permission of Angel Flinn, Director of Outreach at Gentle World (A vegan intentional community).
