You can eat right, walk in nature, drink clean water, and adjust your sleep regime almost everywhere. After all, our way of life is only our choice. If you choose to lead a healthy lifestyle, it is not so important whether you live in a megalopolis or in a small town. Delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes.
A healthy and balanced plant-based diet is suitable for people of any gender and age. Cooking vegetable dishes takes the same amount of time or even less. It’s just worth replacing regular milk with vegetable milk when cooking porridge and replacing minced meat with finely chopped mushrooms or beans. Of course, if you want vegan cheese or butter, you will have to try to cook them. It would seem like a small action in the form of a change of diet, but what big consequences! Change yourself for the better and the environment will also change for the better!
