A great guest, someone who shows at 81 that they are thriving not just existing like most people do. Also for busting those myths about eating whole food plant-based food. It’s great too that you bring up the point that you have issues with beans which to me are a staple of my diet. Not everybody is the same. your perspective is always so valuable.💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
A lot of women have a problem with the texture of beans, chewing them. That has what I found in this area. It's so sad, they would rather chew on dead birds, pigs, cattle & fish!
Great video! Yes I agree Indian foods are some of my favorite! Asians eat a lot of savory soy bean dishes. I remember my parents loved a savory soy milk soup with vegetables for breakfast. Yes, I absolutely agree, whole food plant based is the key to protect our metabolism and reduce inflammation.😊
Always love listening to Vesanto Melina. I have all her books, but I always learn something new when I listen to her. Can't wait to listen to Brenda Davis as well as meet her son Cory.
I have beans and lentils all the time. I cook batches of them and make runny houmous, to use as a dressing , make tomato sauce and jar up portions of baked beans. I use the beans to thick soups or make sauces by blitzing beans. If I don’t want to include them in my meal I’ll eat a couple of spoonfuls of them before I start my meal. They are great in salads, stir frys, soups, stews, burgers, falafels, the possibilities are endless. Once you eat them regularly they don’t cause lots of gas. Make sure you gradually build up though and if gas is an issue then leave them off for a day and give your gut a chance to calm down then go again.
Great show, AJ! I really appreciate watching interviews with people 80+ years of age. I enjoy observing the vitality of older people. It gives me an idea of how my personality may function when I (hopefully) reach their ages.
I am enjoying this interview, I love to see older people sharing their life skills with younger generations. I come from a family that live to be 100 or more and remain healthy right up to the end. Just think how long they could live a vibrant healthy life if they went plant based. I guess I will be the first one to try this experiment. I am 67 and have been plant based for 5 yrs, maybe I should get her book for my siblings.
Thank you Chef AJ for addressing my question with Vesanto Melina, and thank you so much Vesanto for answering so eloquently. Very much appreciated. Have a beautiful day. Colette🙂
Two great Ladies that radiate Health and Energy in a very beautifull and super inspiring way - it truly seems to be a very Healthy diet and so important now both for Health and for the climare 🎶💚🎵🌷
As a WFPB eater, I can get up to 40 grams of protein at breakfast. (I do sometimes for lower protein meals, use collagen builder powder,) but most of my meals are from grains, legumes, veggies, and fruits
I love tofu, beans, soy in any form, and any other vegetables. I can’t believe how easy it was to switch to vegan after reading the China Study. I was always a fussy picky eater before. Not anymore. And with Chef AJ’s recipes, I am a happy camper.
Try using the superfoods like wheat germ, brewers & nutritional yeast, flax. These are loaded with extra protein, vitamins & minerals. Also blackstrap molasses for lotsa vitamins & minerals.
Hi, not eating and drinking with meals is so important, as well as allowing 5 hours between each meal, not mixing fruits and vegetables at the same meal. Many people are highly allergic to beans . Eating beans 3x a day is way too much protien especially for someone with kidney problems
. . . just luv this one...but what is going on with YT??? . . . it is unsubscribing all my fav channels....I've been subscribed to you for years, yet yours and lots of my other favs have been unsubscribed & I've had to remember to re-subscribe??? . . . do you happen to know what's going on? 🥰

Can Vesanto be my grandma? Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious!

Vesanto seems like a lovely woman! I love how she smiles when she talks. Obviously, she's passionate about this topic. Great interview! 😊
Great presentation, Vesanto is a great ambassador for a plant based life. Much love from Spain ❤️

Barley seem to have the lowest environmental impact on each of the 5 main indicators. Will take more of it going forward. Learned something new today.

A lot of women I talk to have a problem with the texture of beans/tofu. It's so sad they would rather chew on a bird or animal , fish or cheese.
Excellent. I'm vegan and I'm sharing and tweeting for others to get the truth
I'm vegan but not getting enough protein according to my blood work. Ordering this book now.

Please, how about diabetics? Won't High carb diet make their sugar levels soar
No, low-fat, high-carb documented to work for diabetics. Check out Cyrus Khambatta, Robbie Barbaro with Mastering Diabetes.

And fruit are the most muscle-building foods we can eat!!! With their 10% calories from protein 💛☮️ 😆🎵❤️
😘❤
Why did you delete my comment? I'm a vegan too, so I was asking those questions in good faith. Perhaps you thought otherwise.
I don't know what comment you are referring to?
About the books "Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox" and "The Dental Diet".
And yet Okinawans were eating around 7-8% of calories from protein. Much less than this video seems to recommend...
