[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have realized that there is something to be said for “health nuts” - they look good, feel good, and don’t age as much. I want to hear from the health nut out there what their advice is. What is your biggest piece of advice on getting healthy and making yourself feel good? Diet, supplements, exercise, meditation, acupuncture, etc? [/quote]

Whether I look good I will leave to the judgment of others  :D

I am indeed a health nut though. My advice is plant-exclusive diet. And I mean plant-based WHOLE foods - beans, sweet potatoes, green vegetables, oatmeal, black/brown rice, etc. Not processed and/or plant junk food like plant-based "meat." [/quote]

This. 100% the reason I look and feel 10 yrs younger. [/quote]

[b]With all due respect, every vegan I know looks pretty bad.[/b] I'm not saying your health has not improved since I don't know, but being vegan does nothing for your looks.[/quote]

This is so true!!! Why though?  [/quote]

They are missing essential nutrients.  There any many essential minerals and nutrients that are mainly in animal products.  You just can’t get enough with plants alone.  Even with supplementing, it isn’t the same as getting nutrients from food sources and you still may miss trace elements that are needed for optimal health.

Personally, I think for optimal health, you need to consume at least one animal product daily.  For me, this is usually yogurt, eggs, sometimes cheese.  I have fish and chicken maybe 2-3 times per week with dinner. Otherwise, I eat lots of beans, lentils, vegtables, fruits, nuts, whole grains. [/quote]
