Doctor Svetlana Pavlichenko spoke about the benefits of fasting.

Lenta.ru writes about this in more detail.

The doctor emphasized that high levels of animal protein in the diet are associated with increased mortality from heart disease.

Therefore, it is advisable to replace such products with plant foods.

Pavlichenko added that the roots of many diseases are hidden in human nutrition. After all, the modern diet often includes animal products, sugar, and salt. In addition, the diet can often be deficient in dietary fiber, biologically active substances, and vitamins.

This is why a temporary vegetarian diet will be useful. But first, you should consult a doctor, take tests, and get prescriptions for the necessary nutritional supplements.

As Pavlichenko emphasized, the main advantage of such a diet is that the amount of dietary fiber will increase, which will have a positive effect on digestion, metabolism, and even blood sugar levels.

All the necessary proteins can be obtained from legumes, soy, nuts, and chia seeds.
