Every day, champagne for Breakfast: I stopped time for a great new year’s resolution. It seemed to me to be a clever way to eat consciously. After all, a glass contains 0.2 grams of protein and it makes a good mood. Has decreased in this “champagne diet” but only the abdominal circumference of my wallets. My belly was thicker. And so I broke the fast with this intent: to be more original approach, but a little misleading.
Demand and Feed
My best Friends in the past few months, called Influenza, and Angina. That is why I have made up my mind for 2020 two things: more exercise and more protein-rich foods. Both builds muscles, and are important for our health. The reason is that muscles burn permanently calories even in your sleep and strengthen our immune system. To be able to afford to do so, they must be regularly challenged (Sport) and fed (proteins). A wholegrain-spelt bread, topped with lean ham and salad, or homemade Hummus with crunchy vegetables and a few nuts – perfect for in-between. And: Ideal protein Snacks for athletes – two hours before or after a training session.
To me it is not about a washing Board to be able to stomach like Cristiano Ronaldo show. A little raccoon belly, as my buddy Michl Mittermeier says, it’s okay if you move on a regular basis. I have set myself the goal to streamline my withered muscle tissue through activities such as Yoga, Jogging, or Biking, which are easy to integrate into everyday life. And I want to increase my daily dose of Protein. I’m afraid that my muscles are melting faster than the Greenland ice sheet. This favours the creation of fat cells, which in turn, may promote inflammation. A well maintained muscle substance is like our natural life insurance. With a rate of return paid on a daily basis even.
Protein is one of the three so-called macro-nutrients in addition to carbohydrates and fats. A Desk man as I should take per day is 0.8 grams of Protein per kilogram of body weight to be. What is not too difficult for our abundant food supply. Since, in principle, any food protein that contains can I take it to the for me best way to me – in the Form of fresh, home-cooked dishes. The about a salad with goat cheese and toasted pine can be nuts, or whole grain pasta with fried salmon in a herb sauce with oat cream. Expensive supplements such as protein shakes or protein bars need no man. Unless you hope to have a career in TV formats like “The Bachelor” or “Love Island” and have to create, therefore in the shortest period of time muscular massive mountains. A Daily Soap called “Good protein bad protein” is never run on any station. Protein is neutral, that is, taken by itself, is neither healthy nor unhealthy. Unless you overdo the Whole thing by a permanent consumption of high doses of protein powder. It is a fact that protein from animal sources such as fish, poultry, eggs or milk products easy to own Protein into the body for the organism. But even vegetarians and Vegans can meet their daily needs and very good, with plant proteins from legumes or Tofu.
Protein makes you happy
What protein is also distinguished: It is instrumental in the formation of the happiness hormone Serotonin. Where we feel the food, Yes, especially good luck if something is on the plate, which we love dearly. Often childhood memories are associated with it. I just need to rice with lobster sauce or roast chicken with potatoes AU gratin think I’m in luck to-noise. But unfortunately this applies also for part-baked Croissants with Butter and apricot jam, which there was in our home often on Sundays for Breakfast.
And now the good news: eating Healthy makes much happier. I have experienced this recently, as I was with two good friends in a small Local the best Dosa of my life ate. The great Indian Wraps were wheat gluten-free book and filled with spinach, Feta and Hummus. There was a colorful salad with Mango Dressing. Sensationally good! Also with regard to the protein content. A Feast for Body and Brain!
The Recipe: Veggie-Wrap “Spinosa” Indian Style
Dosa or Dosai is a specialty from the South of India. There, this puff to be eaten thin pancakes at any time of the day. There is Sambar, a Sauce with a lentil-tamarind base, and a variety of Chutneys, sweet-and-sour to spicy-spicy sauces in many variants. Like Dosa can also be served filled, usually with a spicy, pure vegan potato mixture.
Normally, Dosa are made from a fermented batter of rice and Urdbohnen. Since this takes a lot of time, I use for my Indian-inspired Wraps with a nutty-sweet dough made from chickpea flour, which is everywhere in the specialized trade in organic quality available. Chickpeas are highly protein – and fiber-rich legumes that are grown for us in Europe for a long time and food is appreciated. Among other things, is produced therefrom, and also Hummus. Tip: Without further ADO, you can also use a classic batter of milk, eggs and spelt flour, or gluten-free buckwheat flour.
The filling for these paper-thin pancakes consists of Hummus, Feta-cheese that is easily digestible and high in protein supplies, as well as spinach, a protein-rich vegetables – “EiTunes” for the body. In reference to the spinach and the Indian Dosa, my sister had to Véronique for the great idea to call these Oriental Veggie-Wraps “Spinosa”.
