Vegetarian Nutrition How-To's |
The Ancient Greek said "We are what we eat". Of
course, we could be like our ancestors who were seeking for food
somewhere in the lake forests and liked boiled fish more than rich
dish, but today there are more civilized ways to find out the most
affordable vegetarian food.
Since 1842, when the word “vegetarian” was used for
the first time, it transformed, and most people used to understand
vegetarian nutrition as a synonym to vegetable diet. However, the word
"vegetarian" refers to "sound, healthy,
fresh, stimulating".
Becoming vegetarian, people choose one of the available paths. The
matter is that in the vegetarian practice there are some tendencies
which are considered the independent nutrition systems. The strict
vegetarians deny eating all the organic products. Some vegans do not
eat even honey. Green vegetarian means eating only uncooked meal. Those
people who accept drinking milk are called the lacto vegetarians. Milk
and eggs are included into some vegetarian diets, too.
The issue of vegetarian health is discussed all over the world. There
are two tendencies which prove two controversial points of view. A few
vegetarian nutrition specialists assure that the natural meal contains
all the needed components which are vital for normal growing and
developing. Another group of the scientists claim that a traditional
strict vegan diet is rather harmful than sound due to vitamin B,
vitamin D and some amino acids limitation in organism. In order to keep
balance, they recommend adding flower pollen, honey, and cod - liver
oil. They do not recommend limiting calcium containing products for the
growing organism (i.e. until 18 years old).
One of the vegetarian diet goals is vegetarian weight loss. Such
nutrition is also recommended to improve general tone. Actually, if the
diet is chosen correctly, in some days you should feel that your mood
is improving.
As a part of the weight loss programs, they recommend the physical
exercises along with healthy nutrition. Another piece of advice is to
arrange a fasting day once per week. When you keep a diet, it is better
to drink a lot: tea or juices. Remember that coffee makes digestion
slower.
As a pattern of the easy healthy diet, look at such variant of the
vegetarian recipes.
Breakfast: fresh fruits salad with two spoons of yogurt and a glass of
green tea without sugar.
Dinner: 100 grams of rice with vegetables and ketchup. Drink a glass of
tomato juice.
Launch: 1 fruit and 1 glass of juice without sugar.
Supper: vegetable salad (enrich it with olive oil) and 100 grams of
fish.
Before going to bed drink a glass of milk.
To conclude, all the vegetarian recipes, no matter what kind of the
vegetarian diet you follow, are to include:
- vitamin A which prevents vision disorders;
- vitamin B is responsible for hair loss and joints pain
prevention, depression averting and skin condition;
- vitamin C as human body does not produce this vitamin;
- vitamins D, E and F to prevent muscles problems.
