Rawvana, the star of veganism, has incorporated fish into her diet because of health problems.

The vegan Yovana Mendoza, known as Rawvana, has been harshly questioned by the regime she's been following for more than six years, after it's been known that had several health problems.

It all started when the star of veganism was recorded by one of her friends while she ate fish at a restaurant during a trip to Brazil. Users have realized that in the video that blogger Paula Galindo, known on YouTube as PauTips, had uploaded to the networks, Rawvana appeared while I consumed products of animal origin.

These images quickly became viral and, although the blogger erased it, they had already been around the world. The critics were soon to come and the famous had to give explanations last Saturday through a video.

"I would appreciate it a lot before judging, criticizing or prejudging, you would listen to me and watch the whole video." First of all, I want to apologize and sorry for how this information was communicated to you, "Rawvana tore up.

Youtuber said his first foray into the world of vegetarianism was a raw vegan diet that was high in carbohydrates and low in fat, which he thought was very beneficial to him. However, at the end of 2015, she stopped having her period.

"I went to study and of course My hormones were all unbalanced, not just that, but other levels of vitamins and minerals were low. I did not want to think that it was the diet, and that 's when I started to change what I ate and to eat cooked dishes. That's how my rule came back in 2016, "he said.

In 2017, he was diagnosed with anemia. In most cases, the cause of this disease is lack of iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid, three essential nutrients to produce enough red blood cells. The lack of these elements may be due to an unhealthy diet (may occur in uncompleted vegetarian diets, due to lack of meat), a loss of blood or changes in the lining of the liver. stomach (which results in less absorption of nutrients, such as usually occurs in the case of being celiac).

"My iron levels and my thyroid were low, doctors told me that my body did not absorb nutrients and that I had to eat eggs and animal protein, but I decided to no longer see these doctors and find a doctor who accepted my herbal diet."Finally, three weeks ago, after making sure her health problems were not resolved, she started eating eggs and fish.

"The reason I did not share it is because I needed time to heal, feel good, check and then share with you. I'm not ready, but I'm doing it and I'll feel good after they know what's going on, because my greatest wish is to go back to eating my food, to be healthy and to feel good, " he concluded.

Why did he have Rawvana health problems

"Menstruation disappears when there is a lack of nutrients.This is the way the body says it's not prepared to cope with a pregnancy because of that lack. Design a diet for a woman, you must calculate more iron than you would give a man, or more than a woman at the fertile stage of life. The lack of nutrients slowed down the period so as not to lose more nutrients and, by spending the deposits, he reached anemia."Explained the doctor specializing in nutrition and diabetes and deputy director of the career of nutrition specialist of the Barceló Foundation, Silvio D. Schraier (MN: 57648).

In case of anemia, there is a lack of vitamin B12, iron and folic acid. The first is obtained only from foods of animal origin, so that people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet they need to consume a supplement to avoid the deficit.

Folic acid is found in vegetables, especially dark vegetables. Therefore, a vegetarian or vegan should not be deficient in this element. On the other hand, there are foods of plant origin that are a source of iron, but in proportion is ten times less than that which comes from animals.

"Red meats are like that because it has a higher iron content, so you will need more white meat or fish to cover what you will get from iron with half-red meat, "said the nutrition specialist doctor.

"Being 100% vegan is very risky. It is necessary to be supervised by a specialist of vegan nutrition this will be responsible for looking how to complete a diet plan so that there is no shortage of nutrients. The more you remove from your diet more cautious, you have to be with what's left over, "warned the specialist.
