Let’s talk vegan health for a minute! When my son decided he was going to be vegan a few years ago I really got on his ass and told him that he needs to make sure he eats a balanced diet, and that he gets the nutrition that you can’t possibly get when you eat animal products. When you’re vegan you have to pay closer attention to make sure that you’re getting all your nutrients. It’s important to eat a lot of vegetables, and very important to eat some raw foods. You also have to eat some fermented things, or seaweed to get those important B vitamins for which it’s very easy to develop a deficiency. It’s already tough to get that B 12, then you pile the stress of life on top of it, you can run into trouble. B vitamins get sucked out of your system so quickly when you’re under stress. I knew with Sky, because he suffered from depression, that self-care is very important and I wanted to make sure that he was aware. I make sure that he takes supplements, and on the nights that he works I make sure he has dinner. I’ve been vegan since July, and after all that I said to him you’d think I would follow my own advice, right? Not at all🙄 Because I’m still struggling with depression this year, I don’t always practice self-care like I should. In December my hair started falling out...A LOT of hair. I started having some auto immune responses that are giving me problems. Lots of inflammation. For the first time in my life I’m having allergic reactions to tattoos. After doing some research, I realize that I’m probably having some malnutrition– Not from my vegan diet, but from my lack of self-care. So I took my ass down to get some liquid #D3 (Bloodwork showed I was deficient last year), B12 +B complex, and @rainbowlight #womensone #multivitamins I chose those because I only have to take one vitamin a day, rather than the three most of them will have you taking. I’m working on eating healthier again, and paying more attention to getting what I need. Just a little reminder to y’all that self-care is extremely important all the time!!😍👍🏼#vitaminD3 #vitaminB12 #selfcare #vegan #veganchick #empathchick #healthychoices #healthylife (at Coral Springs, Florida)
