"When I asked why he holds this position against smoothies, Esselstyn described his patients as being seriously ill with cardiovascular disease. His plant-based diet approach requires them to eat kale and other greens up to six times a day, chewing them thoroughly to “maximize the nutrition, including extracting the nitrates from these whole vegetables." Why not blend those greens, to make them easier to consume, especially if mixing them together helps you eat an extra three or four servings of fresh produce each day? Esselstyn seems to be concerned that if his patients gulp back a fruit-laden smoothie - with or without greens - they’re less conscious of what they’re eating. Still, on the fiber point, Esselstyn doesn't offer any scientific proof that blender blades make this nutritional component less, well, nutritious.“I seem to have backed myself into a corner with my anti-smoothie stand, maybe too vigorously, trying to be tough on my own patients who have severe illness. For the same reason, I never tell them to eat nuts, because they couldn’t eat just 3 or 4, they’d have them in every room of the house”."
I'm a high carb vegan, and have been for over 4 years. I lost belly fat and significantly reduced severe acne through becoming vegan. I share videos that I hope will help you on your journey to becoming healthier, while also being kinder to the animals and the environment.
