HEALTH LIVE CHATS!

The VegVine Monkeys:
Hi, I'm volunteering with the VegVine Chat Line!  What's up?
The VegVine Monkeys:
how are you?
pari:
Hi. Thanks.  I have recently become a veg.
The VegVine Monkeys:
congratulations!  Welcome to the community
pari:
I need to know if Vitamin B12 provides the protein my body needs.
pari:
Thank you and how are you
The VegVine Monkeys:
I'm having a great day.  You can take a look at the veggie food pyramid here: http://www.vegvine.com/Vegan-Nutrition
The VegVine Monkeys:
B12 from my understanding does not provide the protein the body needs.  There are other sources of protein in a vegetarian and vegan diet like beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, soy products, wheat gluten, TVP, and even grains have protein in them.
pari:
Thanks. You are a vegan, aren t you
The VegVine Monkeys:
yes, I am.
The VegVine Monkeys:
you'll find a lot of recipes where you can learn how to use those ingredients here: http://www.vegvine.com/Vegan-Recipes
The VegVine Monkeys:
these are the best vegetarian and vegan recipes on the web -- we sort them by top rated on the number 1 vegan and vegetarian recipe site
pari:
That s kind of you
pari:
How long have u been a vegan?
The VegVine Monkeys:
about 5 years now.  I am pretty new compared to a lot of my friends
The VegVine Monkeys:
how about you?just a few weeks?
pari:
No, almost 2 months.  I have been struggling for years.  But this time it s real
pari:
Even in my dream I refused to eat meat
The VegVine Monkeys:
that's fantastic, do you mind telling me all the things that have been the hardest for you in transitioning?  VegVine's mission is: "we make veg life very easy", so we are working hard to try to update the website with all of the content that you would need in something like an ultimate vegan vegetarian starter kit.
The VegVine Monkeys:
wow!  Clearly it is important to you.  I know how you feel.  When I 1st became vegan I found it very hard, only after I connected in with local people in my community did it become a lot easier.
The VegVine Monkeys:
have you searched for your zip code on the local links?
The VegVine Monkeys:
on VegVine?
The VegVine Monkeys:
you can type in your zip code on the home page.
pari:
My immune system was weak.  Because I had gone the wrong way.  Then I read in  Dalai Lama s book
pari:
that being a veg is a virtue but he ot sick and could not continue.
pari:
So, I thought that was the case with me.
pari:
But then it all happened magically
pari:
Two of my best friends are vegs.
pari:
Actually one is becoming vegan
pari:
I feel light in soul, but I believe it takes quite some time for the body to feel light as well.  Is it right?
pari:
R u still there?
The VegVine Monkeys:
yes!
The VegVine Monkeys:
in my experience, vibrant health is a process.  I highly recommend that you explore the links on the nutrition section, especially the link that we highlighted which is the top 10 tips for vegans.
pari:
I ll do it.  Does that speak about vibrant health?
pari:
What is it?
The VegVine Monkeys:

The VegVine Monkeys:

pari:
The connection is not good.  I ll try to find out what vibrant health is
