I’m glad you stopped here! Today I have prepared some information about how vegans can get the protein they need for their body. As you know, protein is very important for proper metabolism, performs protective function and supplies our body with energy. In addition, they are the main building blocks of living cells, as well as viral particles. We all know that protein is mainly contained in meat, eggs, milk. It is interesting to note here that all foods, exept alcohol, fat and sugar contains protein. Did you know that? Proteins we take are degraded to amino acids. Our body can produce up to 12 amino acids on its own, but the rest 9 can only be obtained through food. That’s why it’s very important for us to take protein every day for good health.

Did you know that there are plant proteins? And do you know that these plant proteins do not have cholesterol and are very rich in fiber? Meat, milk and eggs increase acidity in the body. And when acidity rises there is a danger of a variety of diseases, it can cause us a stomach problem, we feel dropped.

Interestingly, most amino acids are contained in hemp seeds and quinoa. Other plant proteins do not have so many amino acids. But with a balanced and varied menu, we can get the amino acids that we need.

But how do vegans get them? Now I will show you!

1.Quinoa

The protein content in quinoa is 14% of the mass, but not higher than the other legumes. It is a source of complete protein, a good source of fiber, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. Quinoa is a source of calcium, so it is a highly preferred diet for vegans who are lactose intolerant. It does not contain gluten and is very useful for proper metabolism. Percent of the daily recommended dose in 100 g of raw cinema is about 65% phosphorus, 55% magnesium, 35% iron, 14% protein and 7% dietary fiber.

2.Chia

Seeds of chia contain 20% protein, 34% fat and 25% dietary fiber and many antioxidants. Containing vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2 and omega-3-unsaturated fatty acids, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus. A very good source of plant calcium: 100 g of Chia seeds contain 631 mg of calcium, ie. twice as much as a glass of milk!

3.Sesame

Content 53 – 63% butter, 21% protein and 21% carbohydrate. Sesame has a very beneficial effect on the stomach, contains folic acid and many nutrients. It has been popular since antiquity, used in the food industry and in medicine. Both types of sesame – white and black, are used extensively in Asian cuisine as forging different types of salads. Its seeds contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, and also B1 and B6 vitamins. Question – do you remember the story of Ali Baba and the 40 robbers? What did they say?

4.Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds contain many valuable amino acids that relieve the symptoms of frequent pain and difficulty in passing urine. They are also very rich in proteins, iron, copper, zinc and phosphorus. 100 g of pumpkin seeds contain 46% of the body’s daily need for magnesium. 100 grams of raw pumpkin seeds contain 28 grams of protein, 49 grams of fat, 14 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, 2 milliliters. water.

5.Peas

The 100 g of raw green peas contains 86 g. water, 5g. proteins, 14.45g. carbohydrates, 0.4g. fat, 40mg. vitamin C, 449μg. beta carotene. Peas are recommended for obesity and diabetes because carbohydrates consist of glucose and fructose. Peas are high in antioxidants. Using it in the diet can reduce the likelihood of heart attack and cancer. It also contains more vitamin C and low fat, iron, chlorophyll, and substances that control the calcium level in the body.

Worldwide, veganity is widespread.

What is the history of veganism? Where does it come from?

Do you know who invented the word “vegan”? Briton Donald Watson, who formed it from the English word vegetarian, using the beginning and the end of the word. This word began to be used officially with the creation of Vegan Society on November 1, 1944 in London, founder of which is Donald Watson himself. The founder of the movement becomes a vegetarian at the age of 14, 30 years old becomes a vegan and lives up to 95 years of age. Died in 2005

In 1950 Vegan society defined the organization’s goals as well as the meaning of the word veganism: “The goal of society must be the end of the exploitation of animals by man”; and “The word veganism must mean the doctrine according to which a person can live without exploiting animals.”

Veganity, along with vegetarianism, is widespread in India and is a favorite lifestyle, especially in Western Europe and America, where vegan restaurants, restaurants, bakeries, etc. were found in the last decades of the 20th century, -line stores specializing in vegan food.

In the ten years of the 21st Century, veganism gained growing popularity thanks to social networks.

What is vegan? What is vegan defenition?

Vegan or veganism are the two accepted concepts that characterize a way of life, according to which one lives without participating in the exploitation of animals. This is why vegans are full vegetarians who not only eat exclusively plant products but also do not use products directly or indirectly derived from the use of animals.

Vegans exclude from their diet not only meat, but also fish, other sea animals, eggs and dairy products. In addition to food, vegans do not use:

• articles of animal origin – leather, silk, wool
• honey
• products with animal components – gelatin, glycerin (also glycerin of plant origin)
• products that are produced by refining with animal products – certain types of sugar
• products that have been tested on animals, cosmetics, tobacco
• do not support the use of animals for hunting or fun – circuses, zoos

Veganity can reduce the level of bad cholesterol by up to 25%, let alone reduce the risk of heartburn. Because of the fact that we take more fruits, vegetables, substitutes, our body supplies us with our antioxidants and phytochemicals, which help us in good health and prevent the formation of cancer cells.

Veganity for me is not just a philosophy, but a way of life, the way of thinking. Before we decide what to eat and how to eat, we first think about the harm and benefits to our organism. For example, years ago when I was not a vegan and I was faced with choosing the best diet for my body, I first consider what would be good for me. Because every person needs to know it`s organism and knows what can do and what does not. I have many friends who have tried to become vegetarians or vegans, but in their minds something stirs them. Most likely, they are not ready to divide their way of life and, above all, have to give up meat, fish, dairy products and etc. It all starts with the thought:

Can I handle this?

Can I change my way of life?

or the most important question – Do you really want it?

Veganism undoubtedly infuses the body. This meal plan is based mainly on eating fruits and vegetables, nuts, and full-bodied foods. Bad and harmful fats are minimized or totally excluded. A good planned and balanced menu supplies the body with its vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, which are very important for good health. It is also used for many types of treatments. Such a nutrition helps the body to purify from accumulated toxins and harmful substances, increases power and energy. Believe me, at the beginning of my journey, I thought I would never succeed, that I would not have the strength and desire for anything. It was difficult at first, but it was proven that the habit was acquired in the first 12 days. Have I been through these 12 days? – Yes, I did. I did not even think about these 12 days, I had forgotten. The organism is accustomed to the healthy way of life.

First of all, you should be well informed on the subject. Then you should be willing to take such a step. Once you’ve done it, you must have a balanced menu plan and where to get the right, quality products.

But – according to many experts and studies, veganism is not suitable for young children. Deprivation of local, fish and dairy products may slow down the child’s physical development.

In conclusion – anyone who wants may become a vegan. It is a way of life, a way of eating and a whole philosophy for some people!
