I know of a doctor who eats nuts all day long, doesn't worry
about that stuff and just eats a healthy whole foods

about things and I was getting caught up into ratios and all that and the stress was very harmful to me physically and mentally, she advised me not to worry and that it was unnecessary,

And for a
vegan bodybuilder who must unfortunatelly play tetris with the food sources that he choses in order to give to his body the right ammounts of aminos, restricting SPI and soy foods so much does not make his goal any easier.There are sometimes that you need a meal thats complete with aminos and soy provides that meal with the additional benefits of lacking the saturated fats trans cholesterol and other endothelium inflammatory factors.I'm not saying that someone should
go all the way to 200gr of SPI everyday or consuming a kilo of soy everyday but some servings of soy now and then even every day or the use of SPI which helps in positive nitrogen balance does not put you in the cancer risk team, thats just OVERexaggeration.Exercise, exposure to sunlight,
vegan diet or for those who can not something as close to
vegan diet, fruits and vegetables which contains lots of antioxidants and phtochemicals, NO STRESS which is the global killer, healthy social relationships, keeping your cortisol and adrenaline levels down (except the necessary times), good sleep and melatonin function, clean air, no radiation, away from procceced foods and additives like msg etc and many more that i can not even remember is the key to longevity.As long as your immune system is functioning well and your natural killer cells TP53 gene and many other cancer inhibitors are good and well, no cancer will ever show his face to you.With that logic we shouldn't eat ANY ammount of protein and we should
go straight to be breatharians living only with little water and sunlight exposure cause you like it or not the raise of IGF1 is inevitable i know that raise the IGF1 sky high MAYBE is not the best

Again, most people who are... like if you're using like a good vitamin b supplement or you're eating a really well - rounded nutrient dense diet, you're probably getting enough vitamin b but you know, say like your
vegan or you're vegetarian, sometimes there can be some vitamin b12 deficiencies there and if you're trying to train for speed simultaneously, you know, it's something to think
about so those are some of my biggies and then finally the last
