My son is 16yrs old. For the past yr he has cut out meat completely in his diet. My question is, even though occasionally he eats nuts, he needs something that will keep his teeth strong. They're loosening. I've heard of men and women in the military that are out in the field for weeks, even months, and their teeth start to become loose. Calcium isn't enough, the teeth have to be worked. Does anyone have any suggestions on what he can chew on that will strengthen and be good for him also?
He would also like to workout and build his muscles up, he's a very skinny kid. He takes vitamins, but doesn't like milk, not even organic milk. So the calcium he gets is mostly from the vitamins.
I want him to grow strong with healthy teeth. But I'm at a loss. I'm tired of seeing him eat just pasta or salads. Theres got to be more out there..right? Does anyone have or know a good website for vegans to get recipes from?
Thanks for any help.
