Fun Holidays - Plant Power Day

Flowering plants delight the eye with their natural, pristine beauty A tree, if a person who is in complete loss of spirit clings to it, saturates him with energy and inner strength Vegetarianism with a complete rejection of meat products is no less beneficial for the body March 7th is Plant Energy Day This holiday is ideal for including a lot of greens, grains, vegetables and fruits in your diet The tradition of eating only plant foods goes back thousands of years If Buddha or Pythagoras were our contemporaries, they would happily support the idea of ​​​​celebrating Plant Power Day Because both the founder of one of the world's oldest religions and the ancient Greek philosopher were convinced vegetarians Lenten nutrition was supported by representatives of the Enlightenment - humanist writers Percy Shelley, Alexander Pope and Lord Byron Among the stars of our time, vegetarians include Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, Sting and Richard Gere, Demi Moore and Julia Roberts, Alec Baldwin and Paul McCartney Plant Energy Day does not call for complete elimination of animal products We are talking about including as many dishes from vegetables, herbs and fruits in the daily diet as possible Plant-based foods are rich in nutrients and fiber, making them healthy for both children and adults Of course, you can compensate for their deficiency with the help of vitamin complexes and dietary supplements However, all these drugs are synthetic, ie the results of artificial combination of components A balanced plant-based diet will saturate the body with natural vitamins and minerals, which are absorbed well and quickly How is Plant Power Day celebrated around the world? On this day, in honor of the holiday, of course, dishes from the vegetarian menu are consumed Those who decide to take a step towards plant-based food are revising the recipes of their favorite dishes, replacing chicken with tofu, regular milk with almond or soy, choosing seitan instead of meat and sherbet instead of ice cream In honor of Plant Energy Day, lectures and seminars, promotions and flash mobs are held Vegetarians or those who plan to give up animal foods send postcards to friends and acquaintances congratulating them on Plant Power Day On March 7, they visit stores that sell products for vegans and create topics to discuss their diet on thematic forums In honor of the holiday, post on a social network about the benefits of grains, vegetables and fruits - sow the seeds of healthy eating on Plant Energy Day!
