Dear Komal,
During our Lent fast, we keep away from all animal products, including milk and eggs.
Many do have milk and eggs, but this is how our family has always done it.
I am worried that not eating meat, fish, eggs and milk will affect our health.
What can we do to compensate and make sure health is not affected?
Thank you,
Milk, eggs and lean meat are excellent sources of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin B12 and many other essential nutrients.
You can get these from plant foods as well. Good combinations of cereal-pulse, beans-legumes, nuts, soya and pseudo-cereals like quinoa and oats are a good source of nutrients.
Ensure that you have balanced meals.
Every meal should contain a protein and fibre source, along with complex carbs.
Have three main meals with healthy fillers like fruits, nuts, coconut water, buttermilk, lemon water, etc, in between to meet all your nutrient requirements.
