Are seeds and nuts necessary?
Posted by: Juanita ()

I LOVE my green smoothies - I have two large glasses of one kind in the morning, a salad or fruit for lunch and 2 large smoothies of another flavour at dinner. I will usually have some fruit or a salada at dinner.

My questions, I feel great eating this way. Is it necessary to add seeds and nuts anything else other than water to my diet? I add home-grown sprouts to my salads - is this enough? I am not hungry and my energy level is great.

Your thoughts?

I think on the long term you do need some fatty foods. They are necessary to absorb the fat soluble vitamins ADEK for example. Vitamin D can be a real issue for a raw vegan, depending on your sun exposure. Vitamin D and vitamin K are needed for good bone health, to mention one thing.

You won't want too much fat during cleansing times, but on the long term you will need some.

I think in the beginning...in order to stay grounded....you may choose to eat nuts and seeds - yes. Later, you may not find them as necessary....or wish the same amounts. For my own experience, I have not eaten nuts or seeds in many years (other than the occasional swallowed watermelon seed....but what do you want?....it's an occupational hazard!). smiling smiley
