Vegan

How else can a vegan get iron and protein and other nutrients other than tofu?

I recently became a vegan (after 21 years of eating meat on a daily basis).
I have tried tofu in every way I can, and I just cannot stomach it. It literally makes me sick.

Meat contains protein, iron, zinc, and the b vitamins riboflavin, thiamin and b-12..

Protein: beans, nuts, seed, lentils, potatoes, etc. Outside of famine conditions, protein deficiency is all but unheard of. If you consume enough calories, you get enough protein.
Iron: beans, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals.
Zinc: beans, nuts, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products.
Riboflavin: dark green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, asparagus and broccoli.
Thiamin: whole grains, nuts, sunflower seeds, peas, milk, cauliflower, spinach and legumes.
B-12: eggs, dairy products, organic vegetables and fortified breakfast cereals

Did you get tired to fight your allergies? Simply begin with your pillow. Change your down or synthetic pillow to a natural one. Why? According to the American College of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, approximately 10 percent of Americans exhibit allergic sensitivity to dust mites. Dust mites love down pillows. At the same time cotton and polyester blend pillows can harbor bacteria, mold and mildew once they become wet. Pillow is next to your face all night long and we spend a third of our life sleeping. So it is better to choose a natural pillow, which is contains no chemicals, pesticides, harsh dyes or other toxins.

Choosing natural pillows means choosing a healthy sleeping environment for you and for you beloved. It will help to provide you better nights sleep and it will promote healthy respiratory function. And even more! All natural pillow can also slow down wrinkle formation.

Here you have to decide what filling you prefer better. You might want either vegan pillow or wool one. If we are talking about vegan pillow, it is usually would be cotton pillow, natural latex pillow, kapok pillow. Lets discuss those pillows in details.

Our all vegan organic cotton pillows are filled with %100 certified organic cotton and covered with a soft European organic cotton outer fabric. Organic cotton is cotton from non-genetically modified plants, that was grown without use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers what can end up in the air, water, ground and food supply. All cotton sold as organic in the USA must meet special requirements which are regulated by National Organic Program from USDA covering how the cotton is grown.

Organic Latex Rubber pillows are becoming very popular. They come in different forms and shapes in order to provide most comfortable rest: Natural Shredded Latex Pillows, Natural Molded Latex Pillows or Natural Contour Latex Pillows. Many people choose natural Latex products over synthetic memory foam, which is made with chemicals and petroleum based ingredients.

Where does Natural Latex comes from? Natural Latex is made of the latex which is extracted from ducts of actual rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis) from Sri-Lanka under organic guidelines and is manufactured to the purest level possible without the addition of harsh chemicals, pesticides and other abrasives.. The botanical-derived Latex is known to be naturally:

* anti-microbial

* dust mite resistant

* mildew resistant

* hypo-allergenic

* flame retardant

%100 Vegan Kapok Pillows feel like silk! Our kapok pillows come from the flower of a tall fruit tree. This fiber is very similar to silk making the pillow feel soft inside. It compresses easily and rebounds slowly, preventing pressure on the ear. Covered in our fancy European Organic Cotton Damask for an attractive and durable pillow. Also available in our budget version with soft organic cotton sateen outer.

Many people prefer Organic Wool Pillows due to it's great characteristics. Organic wool is wool which is produced in accordance with federal standards for organic livestock production. The finest organic wool comes from Merino sheep from New Zealand and Australia. %100 organic wool is naturally: moisture absorbent (is able to absorb up to 1/3 of it's own weight), fire retardant (wool has low rate of flame spread and low heat of combustion), heat retainer (wool has ability to insulate and retain air without blocking air circulation), static electricity resistant (wool is able to absorb moisture and then this moisture conducts static electricity), mildew and mite resistant, hypoallergenic, completely breathable.

We spend a third of our life sleeping and our skin is the largest human organ. That's why it's very important to use natural pillows, blankets and sheets for you and for your beloved. You can find more information about our organic products on our website Online Basic Essentials .
