Hi!

 

Is there any nutritional value in a potato?

 

Being a vegetarian (very little dairy ad eggs) how can I make sure that I am

getting proper nutrition?

 

I take a multivitamin, ginkgo, calcium and vitamin C.

 

Thanks.

Jerry - The Ultimate Meal is Vegan and supplies lots of protein and other

stuff. It is sold in health food stores. Soy products are also a great

source of protein.

I am not a nutritionist in any way - I work in a health food store. Hope

this helps...

 

Regards,

Amanda

Jerry,

 

There is nutrition in a potato... and in most vegetables. In fact, Kale is

an extremely high source of iron, which you will need, being a vegetarian.

A book that I have found rather useful for determining nutritional values

for a vegetarian and vegan diet is "The American Vegetarian Cookbook" ... it

has pages full of info on what vitamins and minerals are in what and

actually explains a lot of the myths of protein and dairy products and why

we have been led to believe that they are "good" for us.

 

here is a link for it if you want to see what it looks like.. read reviews

 

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446515612/qid=972916224/sr=1-18/102-

8215557-3997767

 

just click on it to see it.

 

This is a very basic book....... but it is really thorough for standard

vegetarian diets and for food combining.

 

If you are interested in Ayurvedic cooking.. let me know and I will give you

some titles.

 

Sat Nam,

Kelly

Hi Jerry:

 

> Is there any nutritional value in a potato?

 

Sure - primarily carbohydrates, but also protein, niacin, potassium,

calcium and other trace elements as well - mostly in the skin.

 

> Being a vegetarian (very little dairy ad eggs) how can I make sure

that I am getting proper nutrition?

 

Complete protein is an issue for us veggie types (rather than

sufficient protein, which really isn't a big deal). Make sure you

get grains and legumes every day - together they provide a complete

protein source. Soy is a particularly good protein source, as are

nuts and seeds.

 

Variety in your diet is important - there are certain things that are

more difficult to get as a veggie eater (particularly with little

dairy), although if you are getting whole grains, legumes, nuts &

seeds for the protein, you'll also pick up a fair amount of these:

 

Vitamin B-12 and D, calcium, zinc, iron.

 

> I take a multivitamin, ginkgo, calcium and vitamin C.

 

Be aware that the average multivitamin is based on the RDA

(recommended daily allowance) - the RDA values are not amounts that

support optimal health, but only the values necessary to avoid

deficiency diseases - there's a big difference.

 

Here is a pointer to a great web site that will answer many questions:

Blessings,

Sadhant

Jerry - yes there is nutritional value to a potato. All whole foods have

some nutritional value. Variety is important, and the suggestions for

complete proteins from other responses are key for a vegan. Here is some

basic additional info from a couple of sources.

 

"Potatoes, being rich in Vitamin C, have been used in Ayurveda as a cure for

scurvy for centuries. They are also recommended as an easy to digest starch

for those with nervous indigestion or indigestion related to liver

weakness." (p.156, The Ayurvedic Cookbook by Amadea Morningstar) They

contain an abundance of carbohydrates that are already in the form of

sugars. . . neutralizes body acids. . .and rich potassium content (p.504,

Healing with Whole Foods - Oriental Traditions and Modern Nutrition by Paul

Pitchford)

Hi

I have studied nutrition and agree with Sadhant on how important it is to

supplement with nutritionals. I have been taking a product for two years

that I believe to be extremely beneficial in supplementing what I am able to

eat. This product has in it the OPTIMAL AMOUNTS of vitamins and minerals so

that your body can take what it needs and keep working at an optimal level.

I agree that B vitamins are essential for any vegetarian, especially when we

are working with the central nervous system, as in kundalini yoga. I would

invite you to explore the products that supply the correct ratio of

essential nutrients that the human body needs to function well.

Dear Kartapurkh Kaur,

 

I personally take Hematinic Formula by Solar. it is a iron, liver vit b 12

formula. It prevents excess fatique for me. Also you can take Vit B

complex and sublingual Vit B12, but I find I need the iron too. Actually I

take all 3. Also you need a good mineral supplement everyday too. I found

that makes a big difference.

 

Sat Nam,
