Many people believe that only animal protein is digestible and beneficial to the body.

This is a misconception.

On the contrary, animal protein, which is present in the diet on a permanent basis, is harmful to health and contributes to the development of a number of diseases.

What plant-based protein sources should you look out for?

Any cereals

Protein levels vary depending on the type of cereal, but there is enough of it in any form. Therefore, cereal-based porridges and side dishes should always be in the diet.

Plant-based "meat" products

In vegan and vegetarian shops you can always find products similar to semi-finished meat products. However, they are made from plant materials using natural spices.

You just need to prepare this product correctly.
