The Rickest Rick Sanchez User ID: 65456342 United States 07/20/2017 09:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It will matter later in life. When you are young you can get away with bullshit but it catches up to you. When your body doesn't get the raw materials it needs, it has to start substituting with the closest things it can find. Over time you end up with the equivalent of a bunch of duct tape and bailing wire repairs in your DNA. Trying to repair and replace cells using these messed up "plans and parts" is what makes you get old and busted. To make them more appetizing, try baking them with some olive oil and garlic salt. Let em get a little crispy/toasted. It caramelizes out some of the sugar and makes a sweet/salty glaze that helps improve the flavor. I even ate some brussels sprouts like that once and they were actually pretty good. When you just boil them they taste nasty. Another way is just saute with butter and salt/pepper. The universe is basically an animal. It grazes on the ordinary. It creates infinite idiots just to eat them.

If you are not getting those nutrients it can cause depression. For example inflammation can be one problem that causes depression. Here are a few that help reduce or prevent that.

everLearner User ID: 71889217 United States 07/20/2017 10:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The body's main nutritional needs can be grouped into protein, fiber, phytonutrients, probiotics, vitamins, minerals and fatty-acids. Fulfill those, and you're good to go. If you can accomplish high levels of those while minimizing calorie intake in consideration of your physical activity, you will achieve longevity and fantastic health. Skipping any of those will be hard on your body over time. You might look ripped and healthy right now, but you'll wear yourself out if you just eat fat and protein all your life. Do it for your mind and body, not for the taste. Food can be enjoyable, but the real purpose of eating is one thing - nutrition. Eventually you'll acquire certain tastes, and it won't be so bad ;) Last Edited by everLearner on 07/20/2017 10:14 AM |

Dont forget Iron if you lack. Quoting: History Lion I eat stuff like almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and fruit but i'm not eating them religiously every day. So one day i might have an apple and some nuts and seeds and then go 3 days without it. One week veggies then no veggies for 2 weeks. I find it hard to eat the good stuff absolutely consistently. |

The shape of our teeth are perfectly suited for seeds and fruits. You can live off them. Eat some daily. Me personally, at 40, I cant eat lots of pizza, even though its passion, or it goes right to my gut. Granted, I dont work out, but Im fairly active during the day. Im also a vegetarian, but If I eat a pound of nuts daily, I will gain weight. |

My body craves veggies and they provide all your daily nutrients. Btw, I'm still the same weight and size as I was in high school and only work out a few times a week in gym. But I'm very active, hike, bike, walk everywhere. Diet is the key to an active life. Pizza will eventually make you lazy and fat. Same with ast food. 75% veggie and fruit, 25% lean protein and you'll never be hungry. Use breads and grains sparingly. |

Potatoes are a vegetable and they have vitamin c in them too. Op if you want to add in more veggies then steam them and put cheese sauce over them. Everything tastes good with cheese. LOL Or eat a romaine salad a few times a week. Find a salad dressing you like. Add in cheese, croutons, nuts, seeds chicken or whatever and you have a good meal. |
