Tomato Lemon Sweet and Tangy Dressing

The tanginess of the tomatoes and lemon juice nicely offset your favorite sweetener

This dressing comes together quickly and is surprisingly rich, despite having no oils, seeds, or nuts as a base. The tanginess of the tomatoes and lemon juice nicely offset your favorite sweetener in this recipe—which yields about 1 cup but can be scaled up or down as needed. Try it on any green salad, but also consider putting it on fruit salads or pasta salads!

  • 2-3 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1⁄2 bunch of basil or 3 Tbsp of dried flakes
  • 3-4 Tbsp sweetener of your choice
  • 1-2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cloves garlic or 2 Tbsp garlic powder

1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor.

2. Store this dressing in the fridge. It will keep for about a week.

Living Healthier And Longer Lives Than Ever Before

Maybe it’s time to bring a Blue Zone to your home…

Vegans have a lower risk of all-cause mortality and live longer, as shown by studies comparing mortality rates among vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters.

Residents of Okinawa, Japan—home to a Blue Zone where people live longer and are healthier on average than anywhere else—live off plant-based diets.

The results of a recent study in the journal PLOS Medicine found that people who eat lots of fruits and vegetables tend to live 10 years longer than those who don’t.

Norwegian researchers sought to better understand how sustained differences in diet affect life expectancy, given that dietary risk factors are estimated to cause 11 million deaths and 255 million disability-adjusted life years annually.

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, which categorizes disease mortality rates by individual foods, researchers created a computer model to determine how long people could live if they ate an “optimal” diet instead of their typical Western one.

Researchers defined a plant-based diet as one that “has a substantially higher intake of whole grains, legumes, fish and fruits while reducing red and processed meats—and including nuts.”

Let’s Lower The Risk of Heart Disease

Maybe it’s time to consider a novel approach to healing heart disease

Heart disease is a leading cause of death, but many forms are preventable by eating healthier and exercising regularly. Unfortunately, heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States. More than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease every year—that’s one person every 33 seconds! The good news is that many forms of heart disease are preventable through lifestyle changes such as eating healthier and being physically active.

Heart disease can be prevented by eating a diet rich in whole grains, legumes, or polyunsaturated fats. You can also reduce your risk by exercising regularly, such as walking or cycling, and shedding pounds if you’re overweight.

The American Heart Association recommends keeping our intake of saturated fat to no more than 7% of total daily calories. Any amount above that can eventually damage the arteries and lead to heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It’s also a leading cause of disability, affecting more people than all forms of cancer combined. In addition, cardiovascular disease can lead to heart attack or stroke, which are life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention.

Research has shown that vegans and vegetarians tend to have lower cholesterol levels than non-vegetarians and also a reduced risk of heart disease. A vegan diet is typically high in fiber and antioxidants, both associated with lower cholesterol levels. Fiber helps you feel full faster and longer, so it’s a good idea to eat plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables daily.

Analysis of studies involving more than 70,000 people found that Vegan and Vegetarian diets are associated with a reduced risk of death from ischemic heart disease and stroke. Vegan diets are also linked to lower blood pressure levels, lower rates of type 2 diabetes, and a reduced risk of certain cancers. A vegan diet can be challenging to follow if you don’t plan ahead because many foods are made with animal products.

A large-scale study involving more than 125,000 people found that those who consumed more animal protein were at an increased risk of heart disease compared with those who ate less. Moreover, vegan and vegetarian diets are linked to lower rates of this disease compared with omnivorous diets. A vegan diet can be challenging to follow if you don’t plan ahead because many foods are made with animal products. If you decide to go vegan, discuss your plans with your doctor so he or she can help ensure that you get all the nutrients you need compared with omnivorous diets.

Maybe ts time for a change?

If you are thinking about eating more of a plant based diet, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Think about it… The new proteins drinks are mostly pea based not whey. Blessings, Dr Bobby.

RAW VEGAN CARROT CORIANDER RICE – By Gena

raw carrot rice

Raw Carrot Coriander Rice (vegan, gluten free, raw)

Serves 2

4 large carrots
2 tsp tamari
3 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp coriander (dried)
1/2 tbsp rice vinegar

1. Peel and chop carrots roughly. Add them to a food processor and pulse to process until they are chopped to the size of rice. For best results, squeeze the carrot rice through a cheesecloth or paper towel to remove some moisture, and then return to the food processor.

2. Pulse in the almond butter, coriander, tamari, and vinegar. Adjust seasonings as desired. If you have a food dehydrator, you can skip the cheesecloth/paper towel step and dehydrate the mixture at 115 degrees for an hour or so. Serve in raw nori rolls, or as a raw side dish!

Served wrapped in nori, with some spinach, too

Great texture!

I’d serve this rice dish with a nutrient dense salad of choice. The sushi rolls also make a great appetizer.

Thank you Gena for making this amazing recipe. Posted first on thefullhelping.com

Life In The Raw – Yes Even Raw Vegans Need To Laugh

 

  • Bob C. – How many vegans does it take to change a lightbulb? Two, one to change it and one to check for animal ingredients.
  • Told by an omnivore friend with intent to anger – How many vegans does it take to change a lightbulb? None, vegans can’t change anything.
  • Bianca & Jade – How many meat eaters does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they would rather stay in the dark about things.
  • Amanda – Why did the chicken cross the road? Because Colonel Sanders was chasing him.
    SchneidersWhy did the vegetarian cross the road? Because she was protesting for the chicken, MAN! (Pump fist in air for emphasis) [This one did make me chuckle for some reason.]
  • Why did the tofu cross the road?To prove he wasn’t chicken.
  • The parrot joke – A man had a parrot that could talk. Unfortunately, it swore a lot. In an effort to get the parrot to be quiet, he put him in a cupboard. The parrot continued swearing and after a while the man decided to put the bird in the freezer. After that, the parrot started swearing even more. After a few minutes, he suddenly became quiet. The man opened up the freezer and the parrot said, “I’m sorry, sir, it will never happen again.” As the man took the bird out of the freezer he wondered what the difference was between the cupboard and the freezer. Just then, the parrot said, “So, uh, what’d the chicken do?”

  • Dada Unmantrananda – Why don’t yogis eat chickens? They have eggs in them!
  • Colleen’s roomate at school made this joke up herself – What do you call a vegetarian who goes back to eating meat? Someone who lost their veg-inity!
  • Inspired by Wastel a meat eater – Did you hear about the new study saying vegans are more likely to go blind? I guess it’s because you don’t get the proper nutrition. Vegan: Nah, it’s just from reading all of those tiny ingredients lists.
  • Nina – I’m not vegetarian because I love animals, I’m vegetarian because I don’t like vegetables.
  • Linda: – Do you know what veganism is? Jeff: No, tell me. Linda: It means no eggs and no milk! Jeff: Hmm, but how do you bread your steak?
  • H.Ko.Kent: Tell me, how do you spice your veggie-burgers? Linda: I don’t know, but the main thing is that it mustn’t taste good!
  • What did one vegetarian spy say to the other vegetarian spy?We have to stop meating like this.

    Tom responds:What about milkweed?
  • A Seinfeldism pointed out by Peter B. – Isn’t it wierd that we drink milk, stuff designed to nourish baby cows? How did that happen? Did some cattleman once say, “Oh, man, I can’t wait till them calves are done so I can get me a hit of that stuff.”

    • On Eating People

     

    • Cleveland AmoryA missionary was walking in Africa when he heard the ominous sound of a lion behind him. “Oh Lord,” prayed the missionary, “Grant in Thy goodness that the lion walking behind me is a good Christian lion.” And then, in the silence that followed, the missionary heard the lion praying too: “Oh Lord,” he prayed, “We thank Thee for the food which we are about to receive.”
    • Seen on a message board – I follow a strict vegan diet. I eat only vegans.
    • Amy W. – Do you serve vegans here? Of course, how would you like them cooked? (This actually happened when my dad called a restaurant.)
    • Etan W. – Two chums were talking at a ballgame and one offered to buy the other a hotdog. “No thanks,” came the answer. “I’m a vegetarian. I mean, I’ll eat a little white meat, but…” “Oh, I understand. Hey, I’m no cannibal. I mean, I’ll eat a few white people, but…”
    • If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
    • A bumper sticker – 9 out of 10 cannibals agree–vegetarians taste better!
    • Yaron Livne from Israel- A vegetarian, a meat-eater, and a cannibal walk into a bar, the veg’ orders a salad, the other orders a burger, than the bartender asks the cannibal “anything for you?”, so he replies, “no thanks, i’ll wait till they’re done.”
