Vegetarian Star

Dr. Oz was a featured speaker at a luncheon in New York City titled “Beautiful Minds: An Assessment of the Nation’s Brain Health,” where he gave recommendations on keeping your brain fit, sharp and youthful.

DHA or Docosahexaenoic acid, also known as omega-3 fatty acids, has been attributed to maintaining memory function and preventing dementia. The human brain is about 60% fat, and DHA is one of the fatty acids found in the brain, as well as the retina. Known for being present in fish, Oz told the audience he recommends using the vegetarian form of DHA found in algae.

Oprah Winfrey is holding a contest called Your Own Show: Oprah’s Show For The Next TV Star where viewers upload their ideas for a daytime show, whether it’d be about cooking, fashion or other issues and their clips are voted on.

Convert My Grill is a segment upload by vegetarian Justin Barker that wasn’t received too well by Oprah’s people. According to the San Franciscoist, the submission was banned from the contest twice–once for using alcohol in the clip and another for Barker using his friends instead of going solo.

Picky, picky…

Convert My Grill shows Barker and a friend making over another friend’s grill, making a homemade seitan-like sausage and swapping chicken for both it and asparagus.

Ellen DeGeneres brought her favorite right hand man in food, her personal chef Roberto Martin, on the show to demonstrate preparing vegetarian spring rolls.

Vegetarians just love dipping–ice cream, veggie dip, skinny dip…whoa, maybe too much information. But it’s always fun to make your own soy sauce, vinegar and spice dip for Asian treats like these and the recipe for such, along with the spring rolls can be found on Ellen’s page.

You discover something new every day and today’s lesson is black bean pasta, which is used in the creation.

“It’s so good for you. It’s really high in protein,” Martin comments on the pasta that’s a part of an entirely vegan meal.

Once upon a time Dr. Oz was a processed food, steak loving junkie. Then, he met his wife Lisa, the vegetarian, who, although not able to bring him completely over to the veg side, has improved his eating dramatically after he followed what doctor wife ordered.

Known to give advice that follows eating more plant based foods for proteins, Oz recently recommended eating nuts for the brain and examining the testicles for the health of where some men may store their brains.

This advice was given in Oz’s “25 Greatest Men’s Health Tips” printed in Natural Awakenings magazine.

“Nuts are among the best sources of healthful fats and protein around. I keep a bag of walnuts in my fridge and use their massive dose of omega-3 fatty acids to boost my brainpower while I see patients. Half a handful eaten about 30 minutes before a meal will temper your appetite and help you avoid the drive-thru.”

Avocado means “testicle” in Aztec, according to Oz, which is what your own nuts should resemble if healthy. So don’t forget to examine your jewels, preferably not while consuming guacamole. Here’s how:

Australian model and MTV VJ Ruby Rose recently had to defend her choice of words when she said she follows a mostly vegan diet. Anyone who’s ever used the term loosely around a hard-core, purist vegan knows the trouble Rose found herself in.

Part time vegetarian, flexitarian, pescatarian, and now “veganese,” is the new term for someone who doesn’t eat certain animal products, thanks to Rose’s new coined phrase.

“I don’t eat any meat, I don’t drink milk, but I do eat cheese and fish, just to get my iron levels back up,” Rose told Confidential.

After the series of backlashes from the “you are not a vegan biotch,” crowd, Rose defended herself on Twitter.
