Fast food: where to get protein

Forty million nine hundred fourteen thousand seven hundred twenty



Of course, Fasting is not only food restrictions, but as "a body!" – health blog, this post will be about food.

During lent excluded from the diet alcohol and animal products. In order not to harm their health, it is important to think carefully about the menu and stock up on necessary products. The main criterion here is the high protein content.

Protein plays an important role in the digestive system, in the process of repairing tissues and muscles, energy production, hormone production, protein is important for healthy functioning of the immune system for the storage and transport of important substances, for example, ferritin is responsible for "delivery" at the destination of the iron.

Since protein is involved in the life of every cell in our body, its importance is difficult to overestimate (including, for the beauty of skin, hair, nails, etc.). So the lack of protein in his diet will affect not only the hidden processes, but will affect appearance, which often provides us with the best motivation.

Proteins come from different sources and with different degree of digestibility. The higher the absorption capacity the better. As a gold standard of ideal protein use egg, which in a post to the table must be applied. In General, animal sources – eggs, beef, chicken, and fish contain easily digestible protein in large quantity.

Main vegetable sources of protein:

Lentils, beans and other legumes.

Quinoa and buckwheat – protein-rich cereals.

Nuts and seeds-pumpkin, hemp, sunflower, flax.

+ other products, which to a lesser extent, but still contain protein.

If you are not Fasting, you still try to eat these foods more often. Average rate of protein is 0.8 g for every kilogram.

To create a varied diet for the whole family from mere products of plant origin, at first glance, it seems a daunting task. And if the warm season is the abundance of seasonal vegetables and fruits also allows you to experiment, in the winter fantasy is usually only enough vinaigrette.

In fact, cooking really tasty and healthy meals from the range of herbal products, which are now at our disposal, it is much easier than it seems. And what's doubly nice is not required for this nor any excess of the efforts, no significant material costs. And as soon begin one of the longest and most rigorous of Orthodox positions, you have a great reason to check it out for yourself.

I want to offer you five recipes, the ingredients for which don't have to translate with a dictionary, and cooking does not take much of your time. And, of course, it would be very tasty.





Red lentils with tomato salsa

Beans are constantly present in the diet of our ancestors, but in our kitchens for some reason she is often unfairly forgotten. While it is rich in easily digestible protein, iron and b vitamins Lentils normalizes blood sugar and also known fact that not accumulates toxins.

This product belongs to legumes, so if you want to improve its digestibility, as any other beans, lentils can be pre-soaked in drinking water. Also for this purpose, use herbs, including the one in this recipe is the coriander, which red lentils are a perfect combination.

Ingredients (to serve 4):

200 g of lentils

3 medium tomato

1 small onion

10-12 cloves of garlic*

Preparation:

Lentils, rinse, cover with water in a ratio of 2:1, then boil on low heat, do not add salt.

* If you were scared by the amount of garlic in the recipe – to no avail. He's here only as a spice and as is not felt in the dish, and leaves no unpleasant after effects.

But if you are not used to buy tomatoes in the winter, try organic tomato Ecor melkorazmernye or cleared (in the salt).
