For some, the most strict form of vegetarianism, called veganism, is not a conscious rejection of meat products, but someone simply follows fashion. However, many vegan habits can be beneficial even for big meat lovers. You just need to make a little effort, and very soon you will experience a wonderful result: an incredible increase in strength, improved health. Yes, and in the field of cooking, you can make many amazing discoveries that previously seemed impossible to you just because this type of food was not to your liking. Let's take a closer look at how vegan habits can be beneficial.
Diversifying the menu with vegetables
Usually, when preparing dinner, we think over what kind of fish or meat to serve to the table, and a side dish is already being selected for them. But you can do the opposite. By focusing on vegetables, you can diversify the menu every time, which will push you to discover new tastes. We also note that one of the principles of the cleansing diet – daily inclusion in your diet of a salad of vegetables and herbs. It's not that hard.
Market or supermarket? Choice – obvious
Get another healthy vegan habit – buy vegetables and fruits only in the market, because they are fresh there. In addition, a visit to the market will encourage you to new culinary achievements with its aromas and bright colors. Also here you can establish useful contacts with farmers selling fresh dairy products.
For breakfast – be sure to drink juices
A day started with a fresh fruit and vegetable juice is a charge of vivacity and an organism properly launched for well-coordinated work. Probably, at first this approach to nutrition will not be very inspiring, then beginners are allowed to drink juice and enjoy their usual breakfast. However, only after at least 20 minutes have passed: during this time, the body will fully cope with the digestion of juice.
Replacing meat broths with vegetable ones
Today, many doctors are sure that meat-based broths should not be eaten. In the process of cooking meat, toxins and fats go into the broth, while useful substances are destroyed. And it turns out that such broths are not beneficial, but only load the pancreas. But vegetable broths can serve as a worthy alternative to meat soups. The first ones will be especially good if you add various roots to them – celery, parsley, etc., as well as greens. The meat can be boiled separately, and then added to the finished dish.
Include fermented foods in the diet
We usually compare the process of oxidation (or fermentation) with the protection of those products that tend to spoil quickly. However, it turns out that the use of this method in cooking also brings incredible benefits, since such food is not deprived of nutrients and is enriched with live bacteria that contribute to the normal functioning of the intestines. Note that not only sour-milk products undergo the fermentation process, but also Korean-style carrots, and tofu cheese, and sauerkraut, as well as drinks prepared using kombucha, are subjected to this method.
Diversify food with spices – it's effective!
To "deceive" our receptors, accustomed to intense taste sensations, should start experimenting with the great variety of spices that exist. Please note that Indian cuisine is very appetizing, exudes a wonderful aroma, but it practically does not use meat. At the same time, the palette of spices used by Indians in cooking contributes to the feeling of fullness of taste and a pleasant warming effect. As a result, such dishes saturate no less than a portion of shish kebab.
Don't limit yourself in your choice of vegetables
In conclusion, let's note one more habit of vegans, which will by no means become superfluous. When preparing, for example, a salad, do not forget that in addition to vegetables familiar and familiar to everyone since childhood, nature has also endowed us with sweet potatoes (it contains fewer calories), daikon, Jerusalem artichoke, fennel, etc. Especially since all this can be easily found in our markets today.
