vege bodybuilding thread

2008-01-25T00:13:03Z

cross-posting this from the "Vegetarians!" tribe, since it is relevant here:

http://veg.tribe.net/thread/79ac507c-8144-47cb-8b80-d2cd85abb204

If anyone else comes across a "vegan fitness" related thread elsewhere on tribe, can you please cross-post here? It will be useful if there is lots of information in one place, instead of having to search for it... perhaps it will stimulate more discussion in this tribe :)

Let's give this tribe an icon picture

2007-09-15T05:57:54Z

This tribe has grown in the last few months, and I think it's time to give it a picture. I've posted a few that I found on the internet that seem to me to be appropriate to this tribe. Moderator, please choose one to make the main photo. And feel free to delete any of them that you don't like, too, I'm not attached to them. The guy upside down on a boat came from a search with the word "vegan" in it, so I'm thinking he is a vegan...

Also, if you want to edit the title of any of the photos, maybe you will come up with something clever!

Anyone else have a good picture? I just want to see some picture, this tribe has grown beyond the newbie question mark, don't you think?

active vegan

2007-06-15T16:15:07Z

I have been vegan for 2 years now and I recently went on more of a "diet" cutting out unnecessary eating of things (besides fruits and veggies) and counting calories. I go to the gym 3 times a week and lift weights, do kick boxing, an/or workout on the oliptical. My question to you guys is....do you ever feel like you don't have enough energy for this after eating well all day? Many times I feel weak and kind of sore while I am trying to do my work out. Does anyone ever feel this way? What do you like to eat to prepare for a workout or right after a serious workout?

HI veganskater Thank you for the new tribe

It takes time to get a tribe going. Posting information will help. Best luck to you

How are you getting enough EPA omega-3 ? It can be hard to get with out fish oils. Not enough can lead to depression. You can get it from algae but not flax.

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Essential Fatty Acid Status as a Predictor of Future Suicide Risk
The American Journal of Psychatry

M. Elizabeth Sublette, M.D., Ph.D., Joseph R. Hibbeln, M.D., Hanga Galfalvy, Ph.D., Maria A. Oquendo, M.D. and J. John Mann, Ph.D.
OBJECTIVE: Low levels of docosahexaenoic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and elevated ratios of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids are associated with major depression and, possibly, suicidal behavior. Predicting risk of future suicidal behaviors by essential fatty acid status merits examination.

METHOD: Plasma polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in phospholipids were measured in 33 medication-free depressed subjects monitored for suicide attempt over a 2-year period. Survival analysis examined the association of plasma polyunsaturated fatty acid status and pathological outcome.

RESULTS: Seven subjects attempted suicide on follow-up. A lower docosahexaenoic acid percentage of total plasma polyunsaturated fatty acids and a higher omega-6/omega-3 ratio predicted suicide attempt.

CONCLUSIONS: A low docosahexaenoic acid percentage and low omega-3 proportions of lipid profile predicted risk of suicidal behavior among depressed patients over the 2-year period. If confirmed, this finding would have implications for the neurobiology of suicide and reduction of suicide risk.

SYNOPSIS

How are large drug companies benefiting from the latest trend of selling powerful psychoactive drugs to America's children? Do these drugs really help our children cure symptoms of supposed mental illness, or do they tend to increase depression, violence, and suicide? Are we really treating the root causes of mental illness, or are we just eliminating annoying symptoms?

This feature-length documentary examines the alarming growth in the prescription of powerful psychotropic drugs for adolescents and children. Leading experts, as well as Neil Bush, Michael Moore and Gary Null, provide insightful commentary about the growing trend to pathologize the behavior of children, and then require them to take mind-altering pharmaceutical drugs as a "cure." The documentary recounts the national tragedy of Columbine and focuses on the largely unknown fact that teenage shooter Eric Harris was on the psychotropic drug Luvox at the time he and Dylan Klebold took the lives of 13 other students at their high school. Violence and aggression, precipitated by prescribed drug use, is also explored in an unprecedented discussion between Mark Taylor, the first shooting victim in the Columbine tragedy, and Cory Baadsgard, a teenager on Paxil and Effexor who, in another violent incident, took his teacher and 23 students hostage at gunpoint in his Washington high school. The film proceeds to show the dangerous links between psychotropic drugs like Paxil, Luvox, Effexor and Prozac – commonly prescribed to adolescents for anxiety, depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - and the increased incidents of violence, suicide and psychotic behavior often observed in those children and adolescents who are taking the drugs. The film also provides compelling personal accounts, including a mother going to prison and losing her son to government authorities because she refused to give her son psychiatric drugs. Leading medical authorities and mental health professionals speak the unvarnished truth about current increased diagnoses of recently devised mental illnesses and the unprecedented prescription of a host of very powerful psychoactive drugs to "treat" them. Finally, this documentary explores safer, alternative methods for treating childhood mental illness.
