Akin to the saying, being close to nature has always helped man, is the fact that a vegetarian diet is a key to a healthy lifestyle.
Nowadays, people are increasingly being drawn to vegetarianism; some because they believe in the ‘eat healthy, live longer’ motto and others because they wish to reduce the ever-increasing environmental pollution.
More and more people are becoming aware of how an estimated 70 percent of major diseases, including one-third of all cancers, are related to their diet.
A vegetarian meal will suffice only when it is well planned. If you are a vegetarian or have been thinking to adopt a healthy vegetarian diet, you should always know what you should eat. Your vegetarian platter should be apt in proportion and variety so, that you get the desired health and lifestyle benefits from it.
An idea diet comprises of
- One only fruits meal
- One meal that has a mix of besan (chickpea flour) products, fruits, salads and a portion of mix vegetables
- And the third meal should be a regular meal comprising of two mixed grain chapattis/brown rice with vegetables and dal
- In between meals, one can consume fruits, salads, black tea/coffee and dark chocolates without added sugar or milk
