She has quibbled with me over the morality of consuming dairy products, but she has never stated, implied, or insinuated that subsisting on vegetables, whole grains, and soy is unhealthy. In fact she seemed pleased with my diet when I explained it to her.Love,Anna the only thing i would recommend to you is just taking a calcium supplement. Especially being a women, having enough calcium for our bones is incredibly important. I, personally, take a daily multi vitamin and a seperate calcium pill. I think thats sufficient. My only concern with some people I know who are vegan is that they are very unhealthy. Consist on chips and salsa and manwich. heart,jen.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 calcium is actually easier fer veggies/vegans to get then it is fer the rest of the carnivores out there an overload of protein does horrible things to calcium in our bones collard greens, broccoli, kale, turnip greens, and fortified tofu, along with fortified soymilks, are all great sources of calcium just remember to vary yer diet, and get plenty of magnisium as well its b12 that is the tough one fer vegans....it use to be found in our soil(bacterai) and was uptaken by various root crops, but modern agriculture basically killed that off... fraggle the only thing i would recommend to you is just taking a calcium supplement.

My dentist told me that. heart,jen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I am in my mid-30's and have already been told to start taking calcium (my mother was recently diagnosed with osteop...however you spell it). My doctor suggested taking it at night because it's most effective then. batcat ----------- the only thing i would recommend to you is just taking a calcium supplement.
