    Hi Ben, I am not a vegetarian like you, but I’m suffering with iron deficiency ( looks my body doesn’t absorbing iron well) I see you eating a lot of beens and chickpeas what is your main iron food ?

    • @NaturalNicktrition
      @NaturalNicktrition 5 років тому +2

      Marzena Ward there are foods that actually inhibit iron absorption like dairy, coffee and I think green tea as well. Also Vitamin C helps increase iron absorption so consume foods with higher vitamin c along with your meals. Oats and beans are my favorite sources of iron. I’ve been vegan 6 years and my levels are good according to my blood results!

    • @Erin-rg3dw
      @Erin-rg3dw 2 роки тому

      You can also try cooking in cast iron cookware. Pretty much everything I cook that's not saucy/liquid or tomato-based gets cooked in a cast iron pan and my iron's never been better. Maybe try a combination of cookware and iron-rich foods?

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  6 років тому

      Probably about 3 months away. I'm designing a proper running hat, rather than just an existing cap with my logo on.. so it's taking a bit longer. Will be worth it! :-)

      Vegan foods are usually low in calories but high In volume so it kinda tricks you not to be hungry

      @Luis Fernandez that's when you're exercising, you burn predominantly fats for the rest of the day. And I try to base my diet 100% around a longevity standpoint. Not performance

      I eat meat and run and people think I'm absurd. It improves my performance.

    • @agentofenhanced2428
      @agentofenhanced2428 5 років тому

      My diet is 25-30% meat and 75/70 fruits and veggies, it’s personally what works for me. Although I don’t think he would benefit from meat only as carbs are definitely needed

    Runners have below average lifespans. Moderate exercise is beneficial, extreme exercise is not.

    Can you do a video on vegan fueling during the race? Like Ultras if possible. I've used various bars and whole foods, but it just seems to sit in my stomach and not digest, obviously, since that stops when running so I end up feeling dizzy and bonk so early in the race...

  • @Cocoa-cl8lg

    Why are most runners so small ,why don't most do Crossfit , lifting ,and running ,is it not possible to keep muscle mass when a runner especially if you are vegan and gluten intolerant which I am both ?

      Or on the other hand I’ve never wasted a onion since buying frozen.. every last bit gets used. Used to end up throwing away old onions when I bought them fresh
