Vegan pregnancy. Iron woman.

veganpregnancy

We have heard from vegetarians that certain gynecologists have given the warning recommendation to eat meat again during pregnancy.

The argument that a vegetarian diet leads to dangerous iron deficiency during pregnancy if there is no meat on the plate got us thinking.

As if there wasn’t a huge country called India where millions of women have lived and continue to live with vegetarian pregnancies for hundreds of years.

During a vegan pregnancy, we recommend that you inform yourself well, read the books mentioned below and have your blood checked every one to three months for proteins in the serum (albumin) , B12 and vitamin D (25-OH) and iron metabolism (ferritin) and take supplements.

We have had good experiences with spirulina. The blue-green microale also provides plenty of iron for pregnant women in pressed form and also supplies mothers during breastfeeding. It is worth buying the organic food supplement from Naturkraftwerke, for example in a health food store. Similar products are offered cheaper on the Internet, but the sources seem dubious to us and we miss the missing organic seal. A tip for women who drink coffee: The tannin in coffee inhibits iron absorption. There should be at least one hour between taking the spirulina pellets and drinking coffee.

Unfortunately, literature on vegan pregnancy is thin on the ground in German-speaking countries. We therefore limited our recommendations to reading written in English.

Enjoy reading.

 

 

The vegan kitchen Blog likes to recommend a few books about the subject:

Plant based diet and keeping growing belly?

The exciting news of Alicia Silverstone’s vegan pregnancy broke in January 2011, shortly after the public also found out that Natalie Portman was pregnant. Alicia’s book, The Kind Diet, made waves through the vegan community in 2010 with its three recommendations on changing to a vegan diet, going from “flirting” with veganism, to “vegan,” and on to “superhero.” When you reach the superhero level in the book, there’s a focus on macrobiotic, whole food options, and while the recipes do include some ingredients that are a little harder to find in grocery stores, the food is fabulous and makes you feel amazing. The book is full of recipes, but it also has helpful tips on veganism, the foods, and staples for the kitchen. When she announced her pregnancy, she said on her website, “I’m excited about documenting this time in my life, and sharing all of my experiences with you.”

We love hearing all the positive feedback from women who have vegan pregnancies, and for Alicia Silverstone, pregnancy was very smooth, and she credits her diet. Going forward, Alicia plan to raise her child vegan, as she said to OK! Magazine, “He was grown on vegan food and we’ll continue nourishing him with a healthy diet… He’ll be eating an organic plant-based diet. I intend to take great care of his precious new baby body so I’m committed to giving him nothing but the purest and most healthy food possible. We want to keep his immune system strong so that he’ll be super healthy – which is just one of the many reasons he’ll eat vegan.”

Plant based diet for your child after?

 

img_3151

Paediatric dietician Helen Wilcock, a member of the British Dietetic Association, says she tries not to be judgmental about the rights and wrongs of vegan diets for young children, but any parent wanting to raise their child as a vegan needs to be very well-informed. “Vegan children can be deficient in vitamin D, calcium, iron and possibly vitamin B12, so they need supplements,” she says. Another difficulty is protein. “If a child eats meat and fish, it’s easy to get all the right amino acids. But if a child is getting protein from pulses, the problem is that one type of bean might not provide every amino acid, so there has to be a good balance of pulses.

Children raised as vegans-who consume no animal products, including meat, eggs, and dairy products-can easily obtain all the nutrients essential for optimum health from plant-based sources.

Hot Dogs, Heart Disease, and Upset Stomachs

Children raised on the “traditional” American diet of cholesterol- and saturated fat-laden chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and pepperoni pizza are showing unprecedented rates of symptoms of heart disease, the number-one killer of adults.1 The American Heart Association cautions parents that atherosclerosis (fatty deposits on arterial walls) can begin in early childhood and advises multiple daily servings of fruits and vegetables as one way of establishing and maintaining good heart health.2

Obesity has more than doubled in young children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years.
3
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports an alarming increase in the number of children diagnosed with type 2 diabetes-a disease that normally affects adults-and most of those cases involve obese kids.
4
A review of recent obesity studies concluded that, even with good blood pressure and metabolic rates, “there is no healthy pattern of increased weight.”5

Acclaimed pediatrician the late Dr. Benjamin Spock wrote in his book Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care, “Children who grow up getting their nutrition from plant foods rather than meats … are less likely to develop weight problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer.”
6

Foodborne illnesses affect more than 48 million people annually and kill more than 3,000.
7
Consumer Reports found that 97 percent of chicken breasts that it tested “harbored bacteria that could make you sick. “8 E. coli bacteria can be deadly, especially to children, and sicken thousands of people each year, with the most common cause being the consumption of ground beef.9

Fish flesh also poses health risks. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), residual industrial compounds that can still be found in the environment, have caused cancer in animals and skin problems and liver damage in humans.
10
Fish flesh has been found to harbor levels of PCBs thousands of times higher than those in the water in which the fish live.
11
Fish also accumulate methylmercury in their bodies, and pregnant women and children have been cautioned by the Environmental Protection Agency not to eat fish flesh that may contain high levels of this toxic substance.12

Dangers of Dairy Products

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against giving cow’s milk to children under a year old.13 Dr. Frank Oski, the former director of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University, goes further: “There is no reason to drink cow’s milk at any time in your life. It was designed for calves, it was not designed for humans, and we should all stop drinking it today, this afternoon.”
14
Dr. Spock agreed, saying, “[T]here was a time when cow’s milk was considered very desirable. But research, along with clinical experience, has forced doctors and nutritionists to rethink this recommendation.”15

Cow’s milk is one of the main causes of food allergies in infants and children, second only to eggs.16 Millions of Americans are lactose-intolerant, which can include symptoms such as bloating, gas, cramps, vomiting, headaches, rashes, or asthma.
17
As early as at age 2, most people begin to produce less lactase, the enzyme that helps to digest milk. This reduction can lead to lactose-intolerance.
18
Even breast-feeding infants can have digestive problems if their mothers drink milk, as the proteins can be transferred to them through the breast milk.
19

Some common childhood ailments, such as chronic ear infections, asthma, and skin conditions, can also be eliminated if cow’s milk is avoided.20

Nutrition in Vegan Diets

Nutritionists and physicians have learned that plant products are good sources of protein, iron, and calcium because they can be easily absorbed by the body and don’t contain artery-clogging fat. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics states that “[w]ell-planned vegan … diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence.”
21

The following is a list of nutrients and the ways that you can obtain them on a vegan diet:

  • Protein: In the United States, consumption of too much protein is a much bigger issue than not getting enough. Protein deficiency is common only in countries suffering from famine. Children can get all the protein that their bodies need from whole grains in the form of oats, brown rice, and pasta; nuts and seeds, including sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, and spreads such as tahini and peanut butter; and legumes, including tofu, lentils, and beans.
  • Iron: Some babies’ intestines bleed after drinking cow’s milk, increasing their risk of developing iron-deficiency anemia since the blood that they’re losing contains iron.
    22
    Formula-fed babies should be given a soy-based formula with added iron to minimize the risk of intestinal bleeding. Iron-rich foods such as raisins, almonds, dried apricots, blackstrap molasses, and fortified grain cereals will meet the needs of toddlers and children 12 months and older. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, so foods rich in both-such as green, leafy vegetables-are particularly valuable.23
  • Calcium: Broccoli, kale, tofu, dried figs, tahini, great northern beans, blackstrap molasses, and fortified orange juice and soy milk are all excellent sources of calcium. As with iron, vitamin C will help your child’s system absorb calcium efficiently.
  • Vitamin D: Cow’s milk does not naturally contain vitamin D-it’s added later. Vitamin D-enriched soy milk provides this nutrient without the animal fat. A child who spends as little as 10 to 15 minutes three times a week playing in the sunshine, with arms and face exposed, will also get sufficient vitamin D because it is synthesized in the skin when the skin is exposed to sunlight.24
  • Vitamin B12: Whereas other primates get their necessary vitamin B12 from dirt, unchlorinated water, feces, and insects, commercially available B12 tablets will ensure an adequate amount of the vitamin for your child.
    25
    Vitamin B12 is also found in fortified soy milk and many cereals.

What You Can Do

A healthy vegan diet is easy to plan and maintain. Products fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 are available in most grocery stores. Mock meats, which can be especially appealing to kids, are also readily available in most grocery stores and many restaurants. For tips on tempting your kids with delicious vegan dishes, visit

Werni’s books tip

I met Werni at Lily’s for an unconventional and very spontaneous book tip review.

IMG_8294

I met Werni over a Blue Lagoone Lilys Ice Tea.

Werni is the green good soul of several properties here in Zurich, he looks after the well-being of their residents, makes these buildings a better place every day with his creativity and technical skills and that in the middle of Kreis4 and 5, as well as in Zurich- Altstetten.

He shares the same healthy ideologies with the vegan kitchen, wears green clothes every day and always, and circulates on his scooter between the different circles to do “good”.

He is providing us with plenty of good reading material today, so if you don’t have any fresh reading material for 2014 at home yet, you’re sure to find it here:

Minimizing meat consumption by just a fifth of the current level!

The new study by the Universities of Hohenheim and Göttingen examined the effects of reduced meat consumption on global agricultural prices and global food production,
The result is amazing:

A 19% reduction in meat consumption in industrialized countries would not only lead to a global reduction in meat production of 2.5% and a reduction in the world market price for meat. The lower demand for animal feed and the general decline in consumption could also lead to a fall in prices for other products such as grain. Poor countries in particular benefited from these price reductions.
Minimizing meat consumption by just a fifth of the current level would therefore appear to be a more than effective means of transforming the global agricultural sector and improving the global food situation.

world_hunger_mosambique

“70 to 80 percent of the world’s agricultural land is used for fattening, but only contributes 17 percent of the world’s food in terms of calories:If the citizens of the USA alone were to reduce their meat consumption by just 10 percent each year, the food saved could feed around 60 million people worldwide. Currently 900 million people are starving, every 7 seconds a child under the age of ten starves to death…”

Milk on the skin – dandruff on the eyes

Unfortunately, the cosmetics industry relies heavily on animal resources. Bone meal is found in every conventional soap. Anti-wrinkle creams advertise with collagen which is obtained from the connective tissue of calves. Fish scales are often used for mica eyeshadows. Most mascaras contain beeswax. Body lotions promise to nourish the skin thanks to cow’s milk. The keratin trend in hair care products is also at the expense of the animals. The protein is made from ground horns, hooves, feathers, quills and hair from various animals.

So do vegans have to give up make-up and body care rituals? No, fortunately not! There are more and more alternatives. If the vegan flower of the Vegan Society is to be found on the packaging, this guarantees that both the product and its manufacture are free from animal ingredients and animal testing. However, products without this logo may also be produced without animal ingredients. If you want to be on the safe side and check labels, you can find a list of the most common animal ingredients on the website of the animal rights organization PeTA:

The handy lexicon by Heinz Knieriemen is another way to get an overview of the jungle of Latin and English technical terms. This critical guide also provides the best information about questionable, potentially allergic and harmful ingredients.

truly vegan kitchen love: the secondhand cookbook of Sandra Forster/ Germany

 

Sandra Forster, together with Sarah Illenberger, brought a wonderful work onto the cookbook market in 2009.

The vegan kitchen has already cooked almost every recipe in the book. The special combination of rapeseed oil and agave juice, which is always mentioned in the dishes, tastes particularly “vegan” to us.

The global food waste scandal – Tristram Stuart in the Ted & the young Greens

 

Screenshot 2013-02-20 at 08.18.09

Numerous studies and investigations have shown that food waste is constantly increasing. This mainly takes place at three points: Firstly, by sorting out so-called ‘non-recyclable’ products, such as second-class vegetables[1], when they are handed over from producers to wholesalers. Secondly, products and food that are left behind in the supermarkets in the evening. What cannot be sold the next day is normally disposed of in containers[2]. Thirdly, among consumers, where a lot of food is thrown away, not least because of expired best-before dates[3].



[1 ] Second-class vegetables are vegetables that do not correspond to the standard sizes of large-scale distributors. Decisive factors are, for example, the size, curvature, color and shape of products that do not meet the standard and are therefore not sold or are taken over by the producer. The same or similar regulations also apply to fruit, eggs and other agricultural products.

[2 ] Some of the unsold food is passed on to organizations such as ‘Tischleindeckdich’ at a discount or recycled, but a large proportion is disposed of or processed into biogas.

[3 ] However, expired best-before dates do not mean that the food is actually no longer usable, e.g. in the case of information such as ‘best before’ or a greatly increased range between the ‘real’ expiration date and the (‘guaranteed’) date stated on the products.

 

Tristram Stuart: The global food waste scandal

Screenshot 2013-02-24 at 09.23.22

 

Tristram Stuart and his family have been living off the garbage cans in England for over 20 years.

The vegan kitchen got the translation of Tristram Stuart’s book “For the garbage can, how we waste our food” here.

The Financial Times called his book “Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal” “one of the most important ecological books of recent years”.

Tristram Stuarts was invited to the Ted; his presentation is quite something, listen for yourself!
