Growing research suggests that in addition to how much protein we consume each day, the type of protein we eat influences healthy aging too
This also helps up fibre which will reduce a lot of health problems and possibly lower the stress on our healthcare system! Double win!
I’ve been a vegan for sixteen years for ethical reasons. The health benefits are a nice bonus!
Beans. Cook 'em.
Yeah, their list was “beans beans beans beans beans beans and pumpkin seeds.”
What else would you expect from the glo-bean-dmail?
There’s a lot of obsession over protein, but most people don’t need a lot. 50g per day is a common recommendation, and it’s very easy to get that much without focusing on “protein source” foods. If you’re an athlete and especially putting on muscle then you need lots more. I have seen vegan bodybuilders out there but I suspect a lot of them build most of their muscle on a meat-heavy diet and then went vegan later.
I suspect a lot of the high-protein discourse and anti-soy nonsense comes from animal agriculture lobby groups (and the seed oil bullshit). High protein milk?? Just a way to charge 2x for milk which is already high in protein. Greek yogurt? Look at the ingredients, it’s yogurt with added whey protein - just buy Balkan yogurt for half the price and add your own protein powder. Your mixed nuts are high in protein? Yeah no shit, and potatoes are gluten-free and water has no trans fats.
