Sample Vegetarian Diet Including Essential Fatty Acids to Promote Healing


Fats are an essential part of any well-balanced diet, including a vegetarian diet.

Fats are made of smaller units - called fatty acids.

These fatty acids may be saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated.


Saturated and monounsaturated fats are not necessary in a vegetarian diet as they can be made in the human body.

However, two polyunsaturated fatty acids - linoleic acid (omega 6) and linolenic acid (omega 3) - cannot be manufactured by the body and must be provided in the diet.

Fortunately, they are widely available in vegetarian/vegan plant foods.

Evidence is increasing that omega 6 (found in foods like vegetable oils such as corn, safflower and sesame) and especially omega 3 (found in flax, walnuts, avocados, almonds and olive and canola oil) fats are beneficial for a range of conditions, including heart disease, cancer, immune system deficiencies and arthritis.

Healthy fats and oils play active roles in every stage of the body’s healing, building, and maintenance processes. In fact, they are as important to an active individual’s body as amino acids, minerals, and vitamins.


Healthy fats and oils help convert light and sound into electrical nerve impulses, remove potentially toxic substances from sensitive tissue, and provide strength to cell membranes.

The following vegetarian menu sample shows how easy it is for essential fatty acids to be a part of your every day vegetarian diet.


Breakfast:


1 bagel with
2 tsp vegan margarine,
1 medium orange,
1 cup Cheerios cereal,
and 1 cup soymilk


Lunch:


Sandwich of hummus made with
3/4 cup chickpeas and
2 teaspoons tahini (a sandwich spread made from ground sesame seeds)
on 2 slices of whole wheat bread with
3 slices of tomato and
½ sliced avocado


Dinner:


1 cup of cooked pasta with
1/4 cup marinara sauce,
1/3 cup carrot sticks,
1 cup cooked broccoli (frozen or fresh),
and 1 whole wheat roll


Snack:


1/2 cup almonds,
and 1 cup soymilk

Even when we try to eat well, we're disadvantaged. The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.
The nutrition products I am going to recommend you make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.
This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.

Further reading through our articles on health issues will give you a body of information that will help you decide what options you have to deal with the underlying causes of your problem through giving your body the nutrition products that will assist you body to heal from the inside out.
