Pure diet | vegan recipe| How to keep a balanced pure diet?
A well-balanced plant-based diet includes the 5 following types of food, for our bodily needs.
Type 1: Fruits
Fruits are chock-full of vitamins, fiber and antioxidants, which can prevent disease, improve digestion, enhance the heart’s functions, maintain balanced acids, and play a regulatory role in the body. Fruits contribute to the body’s metabolism, keeping us slim. They can also nourish our skin and inhibit the formation of melanin. Melanin is a natural skin pigment. Hair, skin, and eye color in people mostly depends on the type and amount of melanin they have. Special skin cells called melanocytes make melanin. If those cells make just a little bit of melanin, your hair, skin and the iris of your eyes can be very light.
Fruits should be chosen according to the season. In the dry autumn months, pears can be eaten raw, steamed or boiled, with ice sugar and Chinese wolfberry.
