Did you know that we healthy adults can donate blood every six weeks? And platelets even more often? Your local blood bank may need you! 🩸🫀♥️ 🤗 #blood #sangre #sangue #DonateBlood #WeAreAllEarthlings #DonaSangre #DonaSangue #CompartamosElPlaneta #solidarity #health #ShareThePlanet #salud #salute
Consuming animals and their secretions (eggs, milk/dairy, honey) perpetuates violence because it normalizes it. #NonViolence #GoVegan #ShareThePlanet #ethics
Do patients with diabetes know that their disease might be greatly relieved—or even reversed—with an inexpensive low fat, whole foods plant-based diet? …which can also greatly ⬇️ their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease? #diabetes #diet #WFPB #ItsTheDiet #cardiology
Eating vegan can be really inexpensive. The numbers on the image may not be current but the price gaps between non-vegan and vegan items still stand 😎 #WFPB #health #nutrition #MedSky #cardiology
This is great 👏🏻👏🏻 Also, Governor, why not promote the environmental benefits of plant-based diets? ⤵️ www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2026... Whole foods plant based diets are much better for human health, too! 😎 #environment #climate #diet #WFPB #ItsTheDiet #MedSky
Legalidad no implica ética. ¿Por qué no hacer lo correcto? Usar a otros es inmoral. Siempre. #NoViolencia #ética #veganismo
Why not protect our only planet by living vegan? 🌱 Animal Ag is the top emitter of greenhouse gases and a top polluter of water, air, & soil with manure, fertilizers & pesticides... #ClimateCrisis #planet #CancelAnimalAg
Why keep ⬆️⬆️ ocean acidification, climate change, deforestation, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and pollution of water, air and soil with manure + unconscionable animal torture by buying fish, meat, dairy & eggs? Why not go vegan today? #SaveTheOcean #OceanAcidification #sealife #GoVegan
The good news about our companion animals re: diet is that they can also be vegan ⤵️ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34133456 Our dog had a vegan diet for the 2nd half of his life. He’d eat potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, rice, fruit. There's also vegan commercial kibble
Dear colleagues, Always remind patients that we humans have zero need to eat cholesterol (present in animal products). We synthesize it. We’re healthier when we eat only plants and mushrooms 🌱🍄 😎 #ApoB #Lpa #HeartDisease #cardiology #MedSky #CVD #HDL #LDL #Cholesterol #diet #ItsTheDiet
In case you have’t come across it, there’s a book, Mastering Diabetes, authored by a couple of experts on diabetes and the role of diet (I don’t know the authors nor gain benefits from the sales). They also have free videos online on the topic
Did you know that whole foods plant-based diets can prevent and *reverse* colon, prostate & breast cancer; heart disease, diabetes, obesity, & some autoimmune diseases? Plant-based diets also ⬆️ longevity: ~ 8 years And, eating vegan is delicious! 🥦🍠🍅🫑🍜🫐🍑 #diet #ItsTheDiet #vegan #SergiosBreakfast
The main component of ocean plastic is abandoned fishing gear—and it traps animals. The solution is to stop funding fishing, by not eating aquatic animals 🐠🦞🐙🦐 Better for our health, too! 😎 #albatross #plastics #oceans #SaveTheOcean #pollution #fishing #seafood #fishes #FishFeel #sealife #vegan
Hunger: Did you know that if we all went vegan, *all* the people who are hungry in the world (including the +15,000 kids that will die by tonight) could be fed? 💚😎 #hunger #ZeroHunger #FoodSecurity #Plants4Hunger #ClimateFriendly #ShareThePlanet #NonViolence #Ahimsa #GoVegan
Eating vegan is easy and delicious! 🌱 And, no other diet is better for health 💪🏻😎 #vegan #WFPB #nutrition #MedSky #LetFoodBeThyMedicine #EatLikeAVegan #SergiosBreakfast
Why not go vegan today? #wildlife #CancelAnimalAg #ShareThePlanet #NonViolence #veganism
Are you adding homegrown #sprouts to your meals? 🌱 Sprouts are nutritional powerhouses 💪🏻 Many seeds, legumes, grains, veggies can be sprouted at home. Any sprouts you’re unable to consume can be eaten later as microgreens. And if you have room for plant pots, you can always plant your sprouts! 😎
While we urge gov.t officials to act on climate change to drastically ⬇️⬇️ our carbon footprint, why not help with our “foodprint” three times a day? Let’s live #vegan 🌱😎 #climate #GoVegan #IoScelgoVeg #vegan #salutare #giustizia #ActOnClimate #SocialJustice #EnvironmentalJustice #diet #ItsTheDiet
Worried about our planet? 🌎 Each of us can make a difference by eating vegan! 🌱 No other diet is better for the climate or for human health 😎 #ClimateCrisis #environment #health #diet #ItsTheDiet #vegan #WFPB #MedSky
Yes. Love and respect for all sentient beings and for Nature 💚 #NonViolence #ShareThePlanet

For human health, food can be medicine. We thrive on a diet of plants and mushrooms 😎 We need no animal products to be in optimal health 🙌🏻 #PlantBased #WFPB #LetFoodBeThyMedicine #nutrition #vegan #SergiosBreakfast
All exploitation of sentient beings is unethical and unjust. We don’t eat (or milk) cats or dogs, no matter the conditions, because they are not food. Chickens, dolphins, pigs, cats, turkeys, squirrels, cows, dogs, snakes… are animals. Not food. Why not go vegan today? #chickens #CancelAnimalAg
Luckily, we humans need to eat zero animals (and zero animal secretions: eggs, milk/dairy) to achieve superb health. We’re healthier (and may live longer) when we eat 100% plants & mushrooms. They’re the source of all nutrients, which are not made by animals #PlantBased #ItsTheDiet #nutrition
Let’s help ⬇️⬇️ climate change, land degradation, deforestation, wildlife extinction, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, and pollution of soil, water & air by eating vegan 💚 #environment #Climate #TheTimeIsNow #sustainability #NonViolence #EatClean #vegan #health #nutrition #PlantBased #GoVegan
Eating vegan is easy and can be really inexpensive when we eat seasonal produce / root veggies and fruit, whole grains, legumes / pulses, beans, nuts & seeds. Whole foods plant-based diets are best for health #WFPB #diet #ItsTheDiet #vegan #LDLc #CVD #CAD #SergiosBreakfast #cardiology #MedSky
Did you know that we can preserve entire forests by ditching meat and dairy from our diet? We can also help animals—and our own health 🌱😎 #GoVegan #vegan #WFPB #diet #ItsTheDiet #health #ClimateCrisis #environment #deforestation #trees #AMillionTrees #ShareThePlanet
