Over the past 15 years, meat consumption among Poles has increased. Nutritionists emphasize that excessive intake of fatty acids from animal sources can have adverse health effects. Traditional Polish cuisine is high in these components. How can one balance their diet to stay within recommended limits while still enjoying the taste of favorite dishes?
What's to replace the meat?
To find a worthy substitute for meat, we have to answer the question of why it's unique and what it provides us with. The first thought is taste values. It's certainly hard to imagine anything more irritating to our culinary sense than the smell of the fried bread in your pan. Although it sounds tempting and brings home the heat of a house fire, you have to remember that our taste habits are a plastic element that is influenced by external factors. It takes only a few weeks to change your food preferences.
Fish
Reducing meat intake (in the traditional sense) and replacing it with seafood is a great idea. First of all, because of the high content (not without reason covered with glory) of essential unsaturated fatty acids (NFCs). Fish meat, as well as poultry, pork and other meats, contains high-value proteins. The beneficial role of NFCs lies primarily in the anti-inflammatory properties of the omega-3 family.
The Strawberry plants
This means that in its composition it contains all the essential amino acids in the appropriate proportions that allow the body to fully use the ingredient. Plant proteins contain insufficient amounts of various exogenous amines, such as lysine, tryptophan, methionine, and ions. In order to reverse this disadvantage, it is sufficient to provide the products with the necessary amino acides at intervals of not more than 4 5 in the right proportions.
Eggs
The recommendation to limit the consumption of eggs during the week to a few pieces has gone to the lamus. Today, more and more eggs are presented as a source of many valuable compounds. Here you can mention at least a few, such as lecithin, lysis, lutein and whole gamma vitamins. Too much meat can lead to an increased risk of certain cancers. You don't have to give it up altogether, it's just recommended to limit its consumption.
