12. Fish vs flax seeds
Fish is rich in omega-3 acids and protein. But if you’re allergic to seafood, flax is a great substitute. It is high in omega-3 fatty acids, just like fish.
I haven’t eaten fish, meat, flour, fast food, and other foods, which many people can’t imagine their life without, for 15 years now. There were times when people around me couldn’t understand and condemned my diet because they thought that we couldn’t live without eating meat. But I’m 33 now and I feel great.
I don’t feel like I limit myself because I just take care of my health, both physically and mentally. I don’t starve, I simply build my diet in a way so that my body receives all the necessary substances. Taking into account the fact that all my tests are normal, my plan is working. I also feel great that I live and eat the way I want and don’t betray my moral principles. But if you want to radically change your eating habits, I advise you to consult a doctor first.
