I couldn’t resist making this 📊, as I’m planning my first garden this year. And since I’m ambitious (or delusional?), my plan is to grow more than 20 plants! I summarized the requirements for some of them. #vegetablegarden #greenheart #gardening19 Feb 2026 18:32 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfaa5hqolc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3mdl6tnedb22k🧪🍎📃 Nutrition discourse often focuses on protein. Fiber is important too, but rarely talked about. Here is an “oldish” paper showing a dose-dependent association between fiber intake (from cereals, fruits, and vegetables) and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. 🔗 https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f6879.long29 Jan 2026 16:17 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdl6tnedb22khttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3mb7vpoices2b🧪🍎📃 I stumbled across this article about alternative protein sources. Many of them I had never heard of before. It mentioned: -winged beans -grasspea -lupins -Bambara groundnut Also, duckweed species can have protein contents of up to 43% (dry matter) and provide all essential amino acids.30 Dec 2025 17:45 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mb7vpoices2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3mavut26pzk2o🍄📸🧪 I was cloning a wood ear mushroom that I foraged recently. One of my plates was contaminated, so I let it grow. Then I thought I should definitely photograph it against a lamp and share it here.

But when the prices of plant-based options were lowered, consumers without a college degree became more inclined to buy them. https://www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pnas.231901612107 Dec 2025 16:39 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7fxdqz74s2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3m6wzazpwac2u🧪🍎📃 Very cool new study & great datasets. The authors compared the nutritional composition and density of plant-based meat alternatives vs. meat. They write: plant-based meat is equally nutrient-dense as animal meat and legumes.

Only certain bacteria and archaea can make it, not plants or animals. Animals require B12 and can obtain and store it, which is why meat and fish are well-known sources for humans. But what about non-animal foods? Can they provide any B12 at all?🧵⤵️25 Oct 2025 17:29 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3zw3vtkm226https://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3m3aisha2h22w🍄📸 Having a fun(gi) time here in Denmark! 🍄📸 Spotted some interesting fellas in a local forest 😍 #mycology #mushrooms #fungifriends #nature15 Oct 2025 14:55 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3aisha2h22whttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3m234lylldc2h🧪🍎📃 It only took me 500 years to finish this 📊, but here it is 🎉 Grocery shops in many wealthy countries are oversupplied with animal-based foods. They stock far more meat and dairy than we need for human and planetary health. 🔗 https://www.lumipie.com/data-vis/planetary-comparison/30 Sep 2025 18:08 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m234lylldc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3lzyd4karj22n🧪🍎📃 In South Africa, when people move to cities, their diets become similar to a “Western” one, with more energy-dense foods, animal protein, and fat. This shift changes the diversity of gut microbes, increasing bacteria previously linked to higher colorectal cancer risk. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-46265-029 Sep 2025 15:27 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzyd4karj22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3lzc6njnzrk2r🧪🍎📃 Important new study: Animal products, especially beef, pose much higher extinction risks for wildlife than grains, legumes, or vegetables. This means shifting land use toward more plant-based diets can give greater opportunities to restore biodiversity and help save species from extinction.20 Sep 2025 20:08 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzc6njnzrk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3lz4xrhcfqc2q🧪🍎📃 Even with a genetic predisposition, not everyone will develop dementia. Various factors play a role.

Other bioactive molecules such as amino acids and B vitamins can be produced too. Understanding their effects may help explain why people respond differently to fiber.

This study showed that it didn’t. Perhaps limiting the promotion of ultra-processed foods is a better strategy? https://doi.org/10.1016/j.appet.2024.10759930 Jul 2025 10:28 +0000at://did:plc:hr3l7o7uqw6detpw7os4ykmx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lv6fy3v2kt2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/lumipie.com/post/3luwoba255y2s🧪🍎📃 From a recent meta-analysis: Plant-based diets do not compromise muscular strength.

They can raise serum osmolality and trigger acute stress responses, e.g., a transient increase in blood pressure.
