EVOLUTION STEP NO. 3: Learn How to (Better) Take Care of Myself

I was starting to get anemic because I wasn't eating meat. Yikes!

The Buddha sez:
We need take care of ourselves before we can help others, so I need to learn how to better take care of myself, so that I can be helpful to others.

N. B.

• If I'm eating a Veggie only diet, I need to make sure to consume enough:
• Iron
• Source: Green leafy things like spinach, kale, etc.;
• Don't like green leafy things like me? 
• Eat dark-colored dried fruit (like apricots, raisins, dates, etc.)
• Don't like chewing like me? (I'm lazy.) 
• The seaweed in Miso Soup.
• Ohitashi - yum!! 
• I should grow some spinach in the yard.
• Calcium
• Source: Hmm. Women tend to get osteoporosis. Pills, for now.
• Fat (like Omega 3)
• Source: Omega 3 tablets, in the form of fish oil.
• Vitamin B12 
• Source: Pills, Yeast.
• The body does a good job storing vitamin B12, so you won't feel a deficiency for a long time, even if you don't eat meat.
• You can get B12 from yeast. I put brewer's yeast or nutritional yeast on my popcorn (which is a very healthy snack if you make popcorn the traditional way). The yeast adds a cheesy taste, which is actually pretty yummy! You can make perfect popcorn every time - learn how!

Conclusions:

• I will eat meat immediately in copious amounts, until I feel strong again;
• When I stop eating meat, I will supplement my diet with multi-vitamins; and
• Relax. Stop working so much.
• Too much stuff going on in the World. I need time to process.

See you later, alligator!
