The SOL Tarot Oracle @soltarotdeck
Take a breath, close your eyes, let yourself into the music and once the moment us right, take a screenshot to have your Tarot card revealed

The SOL tarot deck came to me in a dream. It's dedication to the golden radiant energy and all the glorious sunsets I've watched this year

A minimal, art deck approach with the sun as my center piece. And also, @soltarotdeck is going to be put very first colorful project!
This oracle is just a glimpse the SOL’S sister, NOX. Same concept but black and gold colors. You can find the very same oracle in full color on our SOL account

I post and talk about a lot of science. Often it’s quite complex areas of research and I try to break it down so it’s really simple. The Plant Proof Pyramid is all of the science condensed into practical information to help you enjoy an abundant and well diversified plant based diet. The type of diet that is associated with incredible short & long term health. It’s amazing what your body can do if you give it the right tools. Even if you’re not 100% Plant-Based, but moving to a more plant focussed diet, the information in these 2 slides will stand you in good stead (whatever change you make in this direction is great). Not only will adding more of these foods to your plate improve your long term health risks but you’ll feel better today too. I can honestly say I feel better and better every single day eating this way. I’ve never felt physically & mentally better in my life than today. And yes - of course there may be some foods you don’t really like or don’t agree with your body, but it’s the overall pattern of eating that’s important. Don’t get bogged down on the 1-2 foods you don’t like, focus on what you like. In many cases as people incorporate more plants into their diet and less highly processed foods their digestion and taste buds change which sees them becoming attracted to all sorts of foods they previously dreaded. Keep unrefined carbs in the game. Keep healthy fats in the game. Swap out animal protein for plant protein where you can. Get your daily dose of fibre (28-38g). Try not to eat too many packaged foods. Take a few supplements as insurance policies such as the Essential 3 by @nutrikynd. Laugh. Connect. Disconnect & free your mind. Move your body. Do good. Be kind. Sleep well 🙏🏼✨

Most men are little boys pretending to be men.
.
Most women settle for men who end up being little boys which they mother.
.
Men honestly don't want to be boys. They desperately deep down want to be real men.
.
But our society and adverstising breeds men who act like little boys and women who accept it.
.
Most women don't know how to take a real man because they have been conditioned by boys.
.
.
So what is a real man?
.
Here's my take on it.
.
A real man holds the space.
.
A real man stands by his word.
.
A real man sees a need and meets it before people have to ask.
.
A real man can be vulnerable and devastatingly powerful at the same time.
.
A real man can speak a truth and doesn't give a fuck if the world can't handle it.
.
A real man opens the door for you.
.
A real man will sacrifice his comfort for yours.
.
A real man prefers you with no makeup.
.
Sex with a real man is never a chore for a women.
.
A real man cares about a womens sexual pleasure before his own.
.
A real man can make a women feel out of control and completely safe at the same time.
.
A real man doesn't pressure a women into sex. He lets her make her intentions clear.
.
A real man thinks you look best naked.
.
A real man treats a women as if she is the bringer of life.
.
Because she is.
.
.
.
.
So here's a word to women....
.
If he doesn't message you back for hours then walk.
.
If he makes you feel like there is something wrong with you then walk.
.
If he doesn't make you feel like the only women in the room then walk.
.
If you have to ask for sex then walk.
.
If you feel like there's more left in the tank after sex then walk.
.
If sex is a chore to you with him then walk.
.
If he doesn't look you dead in the eye when you fuck then walk.
.
If he makes you feel worthless then walk.
.
Don't fall in love with potential.
If you don't dig it then don't lower yourself out of fear of being alone.
.
.

It's that simple. .
Men lets be fuken men. It's the only thing that will give us real purpose. Not Nivea ads or wanting to be Men's Health models or thinking that how many women we fuck regardless of the quality has any street cred. .
And Women please don't sett

Sydney, Australia “You’re vegan? But where do you get your protein from? “
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a common question I’m asked, usually at the gym, and 9 times out of 10 I feel like asking it straight back to them (the 1/10 time I don’t is if they look like they’ll take it personally & bop me over the head with a dumbbell 😬). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is your protein sitting alongside molecules shown to be protective & improve cell health or molecules shown to be pathogenic & chronic disease causing?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The foods on the left hand side ( the animal foods plate), whether organic/grass fed or not, contain all of the pathogenic molecules listed below and many more which cause oxidative stress on the body, inflammation, rapid cellular proliferation, insulin resistance & promote chronic diseases like kidney disease, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease & various cancers. Whereas the foods on the right hand side (plant based plate) contain protective molecules which promote cell health, reduced inflammation, reduced free radical cell damage & reduce the chances of developing the chronic diseases above. In short the protein on the left hand side comes with molecules that promote disease and on the right hand side the protein comes with molecules that promote longevity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So as I’m sure you can see the real question here is not “where do you get your protein”,
as adequate protein can be found in either an animal or plant based diet, but should be “what’s sitting alongside your protein & coming for the ride when you consume it?”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of you may be thinking “but carnitine is a common body builders supplement?”. That’s true and yes it does have some research to support it for promoting athletic performance BUT there are many studies showing that high carnitine (and choline) which is converted to a molecule called TMAO promotes inflammation pathways & clogging of the arteries (atherosclerosis)..ultimately causing heart disease. Not everything thats good for ‘gym gains’ is healthy & safe - worth keeping in mind.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I don’t blame anyone for being confused. We are merely a product of our environment. An unfortunate system whereby the people that feed us do not prioritise our health and the people who treat us ignore our diet. Vote with your dollar. Get more calories from whole plant foods. Do the best you can in your circumstances. Voice your concerns and educate others. Together we can put pressure on the food industry and government to change our environment - that’s when we will see a monumental shift in human health. Times are certainly changing 🌱🙏🏼

Regardless of what dietary framework you follow there is always particular ‘nutrients of focus’. Whilst omnivores need to be careful of exceeding normal iron levels (yes high intakes of heme iron, from red meat in particular, appears to be associated with the development of cardiovascular disease) it pays for people following plant focussed diets to be conscious of their iron consumption & absorption. When it comes to iron deficiency - the most at risk populations are children, women of childbearing age and people suffering intestinal diseases that affect absorption such as Celiac & Chron’s. Swipe left for some information on improving your iron consumption and absorption.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst it’s true spinach and other dark leafy greens do contain considerable oxalates, which can reduce iron absorption, this is factored into the calculations on slide 3 which show a higher daily target for people following a plant focussed diet. These targets (1.8x the normal iron recommendation) are based off a single study from 1991 that compared a group who’s diet was based around ENHANCERS versus a group who’s diet was based around INHIBITORS (what they compared to a vegetarian diet). In real life a plant based diet is likely to fall in the middle of those as such populations usually have the highest Vitamin C intakes - a very powerful enhancer. So rather than being caught up too much on the numbers the principles in these posts around iron sources, inhibitors & enhancers should be the take home message. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Additionally if you cook your spinach & other greens you will increase the bioavailability of the iron compared to eating them raw. Both boiling and steaming reduce oxalate content however steaming is generally considered superior as it retains more of the overall nutrient offering. You will also get more out of your greens by pairing them with the ‘enhancers’ on slide 4 & avoiding ‘inhibitors’ on slide 6. Of course if you’re enjoying an abundant plant based diet and your iron levels are normal then there is no need to complicate things, just keep eating the way you have! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Where do vegans get their protein?” was one of the first questions I had myself before I changed the way I fuelled myself. Rather than the old throw away line “don’t worry you’ll get enough” let me explain a few things to help ease any concerns you may have & increase your confidence in eating more protein rich plant based foods.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 All essential amino acids originate in plant form. That’s right. Animals get them via eating the plants directly or eating another animal that ate plants. I often put my food into cronometer & I can tell you by my second meal I have already consumed well over 100% of the RDI‘s for essential amino acids... from nothing but plants. I’ve been able to build muscle too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 Most of us believe we need way more protein than our body can actually utilise. The RDI is 0.84g/KG for the average person. If you’re very active and wanting to optimise recovery from your training and promote lean mass development then you may want to target 1.6-2.2g/Kg which you can certainly achieve on a well plant based diet. Foods like tofu, seitan, tempeh, lentils, chickpeas, beans, a good quality plant based protein powder, nuts, seeds & whole grains will get you there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 Traditionally we have rated protein quality based on one’s ability to absorb the protein. We should be rating protein quality based on what it’s packaged with & the effect that food has on our health. Animal protein sources tend to contain higher amounts of saturated fat than plant protein sources & at the same time come with less fibre, antioxidants & other protective phytochemicals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what does this mean & where to from here? If you’re eating a lot of red meat, poultry, fish, dairy and/or eggs try swapping some of these foods for protein rich plant foods. Start with 1-2 swaps a week and see how you go. It’s not an all or nothing move - any substitution and shift towards a more plant focussed diet will have you eating in a way that is closer to the science we have on healthy eating patterns known to improve one’s health span (good quality years of life).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simon.
