Health food and vegetarian recipes are friends for life. A healthy diet with organic food is a simple and natural habit one can adopt for life.

Did you know that health food and vegetarian recipes are not only delicious but they are protective? A lot of food play a significant role against cancer. Here are some exemples:

Health food and vegetarian diet can decrease old age symptoms. Antioxidants are responsible for this gift. Foods that contain the most natural antioxidants are:

  • Red cabbage
  • Pomegranate
  • Plums
  • Blueberries
  • Raspberries
  • Sweet potatoes
  • And many more!

Olive oil, salmon and avocado contain healthy fat. Healthy fat is good for the heart and the brain.

Less known, sweet potatoes and millet contain first quality carbohydrates.

When fresh, papaya, kiwis and pineapple are excellent sources of rare enzymes.

Yogurt offers you the beautiful gift of precious friendly bacteria.

Easy to find and inexpensive, flax seeds are rich in omega-3 (ALA), fibres, proteins and also in phytoestrogens. It is very easy to add them freshly grounded (keep left over in the fridge) to morning cereals.

Losing weight is natural and so much easier when health food and vegetarian recipes are added to everyday habits. Here is an example:

1 portion (8 oz) of pecan pie = 800 calories
2 cups of papaya = 121 calories

All organic products are GMO FREE (genetically modified organisms). No scientist knows what impact food transformed by modern biotechnology has on human bodies. Everyone can recognize a GMO food by the sticker glued on fruit and vegetables. It contains a code of 4 or 5 numbers. If this code has 5 numbers and starts by "9", it is NOT GMO. Otherwise it is.

Many fungicides, herbicides and insecticides used routinely are carcinogenic. They are toxic for the endocrine system. Hence, science does not know the concentrations and the cumulative effects of non-organic products. Each food product holds a different amount of pesticides residue. Here are some that contains the most:

  • Potatoes
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Apples
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries

Costumers are still kept in the dark about genetically engineered food. Do you want to know more?

Do you want to know what products are genetically engineered in Canada? Here is a guide !

You live in US? You want to know what’s on your plate? Here’s a guide !

Greetings, my mane is Marie France Gras. I am the author of this site, Health Food and Vegetarian Recipes.

I graduated from university in molecular biology, in Montreal. I always had a real passion for health, especially health food. Health food is for me a true pleasure for all senses! Since many years, I adopted health food and vegetarian recipes. It did not take long before I started to feel so good. I felt good in my own body and also in my mind. When you make the healthy step, it is hard to go back to junk food and bad habits. You want to feel happy, proud and thin.

Every morning I drink my veggy milk. It is homemade and organic. I take it with my cereals, hot or cold. I also drink it as chocolate milk, hot or cold, it is so good.

Talking about chocolate, cereals, fruit…, do you know how to recognize a real fair trade certified product?

I replace cow milk by cereal milk in recipes. I add it almost everywhere. My cat, her name is Yuca, still prefers cow milk. But rice milk is so good! May be I can offer her a salmon flavoured oat milk…(?)

Cats love kefir (also yogurt) it is good for them! I make my own kefir (not soya kefir… cow milk kefir... but it does not taste cow). I also make my veggy milk (cereal milk). I love to try all kinds of recipes. I make milk from soya, from rice, from almonds, oat, nuts and different beans. It is fun and creative. It is also fun to taste new flavours (ok, some are better than others…). Kidney bean milk is not so great. No no, that is a joke, I did not try this. Neither kidney milk nor kidney bean milk. I also did not try kidney soya milk (ok, I am a little lost here). Does soya has kidney?

Anyway!

Once you make your soya milk, it is peanuts to make tofu. It is so easy and it costs peanuts. (Oh, did I tried peanut milk?) Since I prefer simple and quick things, I do cereal milk with a machine. I press “start”. And that’s it. Since I found this machine, I stopped drinking cow milk. I now do my milk with SoyQuick machine. I love it. It brings me health food, sunshine and goodies every morning.

Everyday I feel the positive effects of health food and vegetarian recipes. It is a gift. Health is a gift. And we can do something about it. We can choose to be well in mind and in body. Eating organic health food is a delicious and safe way to enjoy meals and enjoy life. Immune system becomes much stronger and can fight against a lot of diseases, even cancer.

I strongly think that it is as important to keep a healthy mind as to keep a healthy body. We are NOT only flesh. Negative thinking is the junk food of mind. It is as poison for the mind as it is for body. Keep a happy and healthy mind and your body will respond the same way. They are connected. They can help each other.

Here is the International Vegetarian Union. Promoting vegetarianism worldwide since 1908 !

By the way, becoming vegetarian is not always obvious. First time you go to a vegetarian restaurant with the love of your life…? Here is a funny video!

If you (and the love of your life) wish to become member of a vegetarian association, the choice is great.

Here is a list of vegetarian restaurants around the world. You know now how to act: don’t eat the roses!

You will find here, recipes, information, nutrition, guides, handouts, games… The Vegetarian Resource Group.

Do you know Happy Cow? It is the most trusted source for finding vegetarian food.

Ok, time for a (cereal) coffee break! Look at this short, elegant and touching video (there is neither cruelty nor violence) about vegetarianism.
