During fasting, the intake of animal food is excluded – nutritionist Natalya Denisova said that she can become a replacement for meat and milk in the daily diet.
Nutritionist Denisova shared with aif.ru recommendations on how not to harm the body during fasting. She advised people who are accustomed to drinking coffee and other drinks with milk to pay attention to its plant analogues. Today you can buy plant-based milk in any supermarket.
“For example, soy milk is considered an adequate replacement for cow’s milk during fasting, both in terms of the content of essential amino acids, and even in the content of calcium and vitamins,” Natalya Denisova clarified.
The specialist added that to replenish calcium when giving up cow’s milk during fasting also Eating tofu and fermented milk drinks made from plant milk will be beneficial.
Discussing what can replace meat, the nutritionist said that for this purpose it is acceptable to use soy isolate, soy concentrate, and textured soy protein. Denisova emphasized that “soy meat,” which is essentially textured soy protein, should be consumed exclusively in its natural form. It is better to avoid products such as lean sausages containing soy. Their production involves the use of many artificial additives and hydrogenated fats – these components are undesirable for the body.
