Rating of the best vegetarian establishments in Samara in 2020

Recently, more and more modern people strive to lead a healthy lifestyle. An integral part of a healthy lifestyle is not only sports, an active lifestyle, but also proper nutrition. Among the areas of healthy eating, vegetarianism and veganism are distinguished. There are many more specific trends - raw food diet, fruitarianism, pescetarianism, flexitarianism, etc. Vegetarianism is a broader concept, veganism is one of its types. Vegetarians don't only eat meat (poultry, fish). Vegans (also called "pure vegetarians") also do not eat animal products (including eggs, milk, honey, and even gelatin).

Some strict vegetarians only eat foods without sugar, gluten, or other additives. Since vegetarianism and veganism impose some restrictions on the menu, it is very difficult for adherents of these directions to find an institution that offers dishes without animal products. In order to make it easier for residents and guests of Samara to find a suitable institution, we will compile a rating of the best vegetarian restaurants in the city in 2020.

The main advantages of vegetarianism over veganism

• increases the body's immune defenses;
• general well-being improves;
• due to the fact that eggs and milk are used for food, the diet does not deteriorate and contains all the necessary micro and macro elements, vitamins and nutrients;
• the level of cholesterol decreases, due to which the vessels are cleansed;
• the likelihood of the following diseases decreases: cardiovascular (atherosclerosis, heart attack, hypertension), cancer of the stomach, intestines and liver, type II diabetes mellitus;
• increases overall life expectancy.

• due to the occurrence of a deficiency of many useful elements and vitamins (B12, B2, D, iron, calcium, etc.), the protective properties of the body decrease, which leads to the occurrence of colds and other diseases;
• brittle nails and hair loss appear, bones and teeth lose their strength, easily break;
• there may be problems with the gastrointestinal tract, the frequency of menstruation in women;
• the likelihood of iron deficiency anemia and various disorders in the thyroid gland increases;
• general health is usually bad, weakness and insomnia appear.

Many of these claims have not been scientifically proven, but it is worth noting that the general difference between vegetarians and vegans is that the diet of vegetarians is varied and balanced, and the vegan menu is very limited, which can lead to a lack of many beneficial nutrients and vitamins. , which may cause some health problems.

Diet Tips

A healthy diet is important not only for vegetarians, so every person who wants to look and feel good is advised to follow these tips:

• A hearty breakfast with cereals and legumes is required. Whole grain breads, yogurt, fresh fruit, and juice would be a good addition to these foods. Many people cannot have a hearty breakfast, but despite this, it is advisable to try to eat at least yogurt with any fruit.
• Lunch should be even more substantial than breakfast. Since vegetarians only eat plant-based foods, you should eat legumes and vegetables for lunch. You can use a variety of seasonings for variety. For dessert, you can treat yourself to sweets and compote.
• Dinner should be light. Legumes should not be consumed at night, as they can lead to gas production. It is best to make a vegetable salad with whole grain bread. Various sweets and drinks will enrich your dinner.

It is desirable that breakfast, lunch and dinner take place at the same time day after day. Between meals, you can have small snacks to restore energy expenditure throughout the day. In order to diversify the taste of dishes, vegetarians widely use various spices. Oriental spices are most often used: cumin, turmeric, coriander, cumin. The first two spices are considered too “strong” and should be used in small quantities, but coriander and cumin can be added to many dishes. It is advisable to buy herbs and spices on the market in their entirety and grind them in a special mortar, since the ready-made mixtures are not very tasty due to the use of low-quality raw materials by unscrupulous sellers.
