It advocates for balanced, healthy diets and lifestyle changes to reduce diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
Mental Health and Mineral Depletion in FoodKlausGroenholm
This chapter discusses how mineral depletion in foods may relate to physical and mental health issues. It summarizes research showing significant declines in the mineral content of many foods between 1940-2002. For example, there was an average 19% loss of magnesium, 29% loss of calcium, 37% loss of iron, and 62% loss of copper across 72 foods. Mineral losses for specific vegetables between 1978-1991 are also shown. The chapter argues that given the importance of minerals like magnesium and zinc for neurological health, and the difficulty of obtaining minerals through diet alone, supplementation should be considered before prescribing drugs to address mental health issues related to mineral deficiencies.

Plates, Pyramids, Planet - covers the Developments in National Healthy and Sustainable Guidelines : A State of Play assessment
The document summarizes national dietary guidelines from around the world and analyzes which countries have incorporated sustainability into their guidelines. The key findings are:
1) Only four countries - Brazil, Sweden, Qatar, and Germany - have official dietary guidelines that include sustainability. A few other countries discuss sustainability to some extent.
2) The guidelines that address sustainability generally recommend a plant-based diet and note the environmental impacts of meat. They emphasize foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
3) While many mainstream dietary guidelines also promote health and sustainability by encouraging plant-rich diets and limiting red/processed meat, explicitly incorporating sustainability remains limited among national policies.

This document provides an overview of traditional and processed foods in India. It discusses consumer trends toward healthier diets and lifestyles. Non-communicable diseases are increasing in India. A balanced, healthy diet and lifestyle can help reduce NCDs. Traditional foods are nutritious but diversity has decreased due to selection for appearance and yield. Processed foods can help meet the food demands of India's growing population through increased shelf life and convenience, though care must be taken to retain nutrients. Reducing fat, salt, and sugar in processed foods can make them healthier options. Functional foods also present opportunities. A balanced approach is needed to tackle nutritional transitions in India through both traditional and processed foods.
The document describes a pilot project in Laos that promoted home gardens to improve nutritional well-being. The project established 204 home gardens across 4 villages in 3 provinces.

This document provides contact information for several vegetarian and vegan societies located across Australia. It lists their email addresses and websites to find out more information from these organizations that support and promote vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.
Gary Francione argues that animal welfare is misguided and will not lead to the abolition of animal exploitation. He believes animal rights requires recognizing that animals should not be treated as property and advocates for veganism. While some groups campaign for better treatment of farm animals, Francione rejects this as it suggests exploitation can be acceptable if humane. He also disagrees with those who say animals only care about suffering, not life, and believes they have a right to not be used as commodities like humans.
We treat animals how we used to treat human slaves, with no justification except religious superstition according to Gary Francione, a professor of law and philosopher. Francione argues that animals deserve rights similar to how we no longer accept the domination of humans. The article provides commentary and analysis of our treatment of animals from Francione's perspective.
- Pollutants in fish may cancel out the beneficial effects of the ‘good’ omega-3 fats they contain
- ALA (from plant foods) can be converted into EPA and DHA, and has a protective effect against heart disease
- Cutting down on dietary cholesterol (eggs, meat and dairy products), processed foods, and hydrogenated vegetable oils will help your body to make best use of the omega-3 from plant foods
The document discusses the health benefits and risks of consuming soya. It provides a long history of safe soya consumption dating back thousands of years. It examines soya's nutritional value as a protein and mineral source and its ability to lower cholesterol. Studies show that soya protein, through isoflavones and other components, can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of menopausal hot flashes when consumed as part of the diet.
- Proteins are needed to form muscles, hair, nails, and other molecules, but most diets containing enough calories also contain sufficient protein.
- The document argues that vegetarians and vegans can meet their protein needs through foods like soy, cereals, pulses, nuts and seeds as part of a calorie-sufficient diet.
- Excess protein intake, especially from animal sources, may increase risk of diseases, while plant-based diets use fewer resources and can help address global hunger issues.
This document discusses iron and its sources. It debunks the myth that vegetarians and vegans are at higher risk of iron deficiency due to lack of meat consumption. There are two types of iron - haem iron found in meat which is more easily absorbed, and non-haem plant-based iron which is also well-absorbed. Many plant foods such as lentils, beans, leafy greens, and fortified cereals are excellent sources of iron. Factors like vitamin C can increase iron absorption from plants, while calcium, phytates, and tannins may decrease its absorption. A balanced vegetarian or vegan diet with attention to iron sources can meet or exceed iron needs.
This document provides an alphabetical glossary of animal-derived substances commonly found in food, cosmetics and other products. Each entry briefly explains what the substance is and which animals it comes from. The glossary aims to help consumers identify non-vegetarian ingredients and make ethical purchasing decisions. It also discusses various farming practices and their animal welfare implications.
The document discusses cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes heart disease and stroke. CVD is the UK's number one killer. It occurs when fatty deposits build up in the arteries, restricting blood flow and oxygen to the heart and brain. A plant-based diet can help prevent and treat CVD in several ways. It is lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than the standard Western diet, and higher in nutrients that support heart health. Factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, obesity, and smoking increase CVD risk, but following a plant-based diet can help regulate these risk factors.
A plant-based diet is the healthiest option for children according to the author. Animal products promote diseases like cancer while vegetarian diets protect health. The document outlines how animal products can cause allergies, intolerances and diseases in children. It recommends encouraging children to adopt a plant-based diet from a young age to promote lifelong good health and reduce disease risk.
This document discusses the health benefits of plant oils compared to fish oils. It summarizes several studies that show plant oils are more effective than fish oils at reducing mortality from heart attacks. While fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, plant oils from seeds, nuts and their oils are richer sources. The document also notes concerns about toxins like mercury accumulating in fish and the failure of public health strategies to increase fish consumption in the UK. In conclusion, a plant-based diet is considered the best choice for long-term heart health and overall wellness.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
