If you have a sedentary lifestyle, then such a dessert can be transferred to a second breakfast. Sauerkraut salad with potatoes and mushrooms.

Fasting for a believer is a special time, a time of prayers and deep thoughts.
During this period, human nutrition also changes greatly, serious restrictions are imposed on it. With improperly organized nutrition in fasting, deterioration is possible general condition and even exacerbation of certain diseases. On the other hand, fasting is a time of purification, including the physical one. Therefore, from the point of view of medicine, fasting is a completely reasonable event, only with the proviso that you need to approach it thoughtfully.
I’ll make a reservation right away that you can find out about the spiritual meaning of fasting by contacting your spiritual mentor. Here I want to consider the post from the point of view of a nutritionist.
Nutritionist comment:I want to start the lenten menu with traditional breakfast in an unusual performance. Oatmeal contains complex carbohydrates alimentary fiber, vegetable proteins vitamins of group B. To maintain health, an adult should consume at least 400 g of vegetables daily (and preferably more). Unfortunately, few people can boast of such a diet. One way to enrich your menu with vegetables is light vegetable salads. These salads are “light” both in execution and in terms of calories. In addition to vegetable protein, lentils contain folic acid and iron. Recipe for green beans butter should be replaced with olive oil. |
