Buddha Bowls: A Bowl Of Happiness

 

Buddha Bowls: A Bowl Of Happiness

 

Buddha bowls are totally trendy at the moment. The trend from the USA is also causing a stir in Germany and is attracting more attention every day. But what is behind these unique bowls and why should you decide for yourself to try such a bowl?

To get closer to these questions we first have to find out what the term "Buddha Bowl" actually means. The term "Bowl" means nothing else than "bowl".

But how is the word "Buddha" added? The answer is quite simple: The bulging bowls are reminiscent of a Buddha belly. Therefore, even after a short time, the term "Buddha bowl" has established itself.

What does a Buddha bowl actually consist of and how do you prepare it? There is no unique recipe for it. What you need, but definitely need, is a large round bowl. That's where the ingredients will find their place. You don't have to worry about the recipe at all with this book. In this book we have put together a wide range of different recipes for you. You can be sure that there is something for every taste. In addition, this book is suitable for beginners as well as experienced. You don't have to bring previous experience with Buddha Bowls. You will quickly get the hang of it and know the best recipes by heart.

What makes these Buddha Bowls so popular? One of the main reasons is the health aspect. It has never been easier to eat healthily than with a Buddha bowl. Buddha-Bowls are packed with the most important ingredients that provide our body with the vital minerals, nutrients and vitamins. We often forget how important it is to eat a healthy diet. Time seems to be too short and we don't seem to be able to keep up. Now this is over! With this book you will learn how easy it can be to eat healthy and balanced. And the best: It doesn't even have to cost you a lot of time!

 

 

Buddha Bowls: These are your advantages

 

As mentioned in the preface, Buddha bowls are packed with the most important nutrients. With our recipes you can be sure that your body is not only filled with plenty of protein, but also healthy carbohydrates and fats. The body also needs these to work productively throughout the day.

Especially the topic of carbohydrates is taboo for many people. Especially women try to avoid carbohydrates at all costs. Our body needs carbohydrates to work productively and to be fit and healthy.

What many people do not understand is that the type of carbohydrates makes the difference. Simple carbohydrates are often found in our daily diet. Although these are absorbed by the body, they are also quickly burned again. The consequence is that we get cravings.

This is now over! With our Buddha-Bowls you will find only complex and rich carbohydrates. These include for example sweet potatoes, wholemeal noodles or brown rice. These foods supply the body with sufficient energy and also ensure that this energy does not disappear again quickly.

The same applies to fats and proteins. Quality always comes first with us. Just as with carbohydrates, fats do not have to be bad. They can even help you lose weight. We only use unsaturated fatty acids for our recipes. These stimulate the organism and supply the body with important nutrients.

 

 

Buddha Bowls: Small disadvantages for great enjoyment

 

You can change a lot with this book. Our diet has a big influence on whether we stay fit and slim. Nevertheless, it is not everything. If you want to lose weight, you should never ignore exercise. It is advisable to combine these recipes with enough exercise. In this way you can achieve the best results in the shortest possible time. A mix of endurance and strength sports is best suited for this.

You should only eat as much as you are hungry. You can also overdo it with healthy food by not listening to your body. Our body is quite good at recognizing when it has enough. In addition, you have the advantage that you will not have to deal with these recipes in the future with ravenous appetite attacks and the like. So watch out for these signals from your body!

Last but not least, planning should not be disregarded. If we plan correctly, we can save a lot of time. That is also what I would advise you to do. Some recipes in this book will take more time than the others. So allow yourself enough time to test yourself.

 

 

Buddha Bowls: What awaits you in the cookbook

 

The full variety awaits you in this book! Buddha bowls are extremely versatile and can easily be adapted to the current season. You'll be amazed at how you can make such a variety of bowls with just a few ingredients. With just a few tricks you can adapt your bowls to summer or winter. A particularly effective step for this is for example to change the vegetables.

This book will show you how delicious healthy food can be. Many people have no positive connection with extremely healthy food. Often this is because they don't know how to prepare these dishes. Anyone who has ever tried a Buddha bowl will find out how tasty healthy food can be.

In addition, most Buddha bowls will not cost you more than 10 minutes to prepare. If you prepare yourself properly, you'll see how easy and fast it can be to prepare a bowl like this. With Meal Prepping you can also save a lot of time and precook all recipes for the coming days or the whole week.

Meal Prepping is especially suitable for people who want to lose weight with these bowls. Translated "Meal Prepping" means nothing more than

"Precooking". The principle behind it is quite simple: You take one day a week where you precook for the rest of the week. For most people this is Sunday. With these bowl recipes, you won't have to invest more than 2 to a maximum of 3 hours in one day for the whole week. On the following days you can simply warm up the meals. You don't have to cook anything anymore!

Note: You should still prepare fresh ingredients such as fruit or vegetables on the same day.

 

 

Buddha Bowls: How is this cookbook structured?

Buddha Bowls: How is this cookbook structured?

 

Our goal with this book was to meet every taste. That's why this goal was also the focus of the construction of this book. This recipe book starts with some main courses. Here you will find something for every taste. We make an all-round tour of the different cuisines in the world. From Morocco to Asian cuisine everything is included!

This book continues with vegan and vegetarian recipes. As we have already noticed at the beginning, the demand for meat-free recipes continues to grow. For this reason we also wanted to give our vegans and vegetarians the opportunity to test themselves completely. In this chapter you will also find many recipes with Superfoods. Superfoods have become known in recent years mainly for supplying the body with important minerals and vitamins, which are often lost in everyday nutrition.

In the further process our focus shifts from breakfast bowls. Even in the early hours of the morning you can put together great bowls with little effort and in a few minutes.

In this chapter vegans, vegetarians and of course meat eaters get their money's worth. In this chapter you will also find great recipes with bacon. Since breakfast can often get monotonous, we have taken care in this chapter to provide you with a large selection of various recipes. Even if you don't know a recipe yet, it is definitely worth trying it.

Desserts will of course not be neglected in this recipe book. Your advantage in the future is that you don't have to do without your daily dessert anymore. The dessert recipes we have compiled for you are not only fresh and healthy, but also low in calories. They are especially suitable for people who want to lose weight.

Have you ever heard of smoothie bowls? If not, you should definitely try them out at the end of the book. Smoothie-Bowls are not only tasty, but filled with the most important vitamins and minerals. They are also particularly suitable for breakfast or as a snack in between. As you can see, we have compiled this book for you in as many ways as possible. Now it's up to you to try out the recipes. With this I want to end the preface and wish you a lot of fun reading and especially trying it out!

Flavored Infused Water - Refreshing Aroma Water With Fruits And Herbs

Flavored Infused Water - Refreshing Aroma Water With Fruits And Herbs

 

Vitamin water is an optimal alternative to provide our body with sufficient fluids and important nutrients. Particularly on hot days, you should take care to drink water or herbal teas. However, taking still water, at least in terms of taste, is not particularly convincing.

Tap water tastes bland and boring, not for nothing has the demand for refreshing vitamin water increased. Traditional products are usually a mixture of water and caloric beverages enriched with natural flavours and vitamins. Aroma water is available in different flavours. However, the important question is whether these soft drinks with artificial additives are really healthy when it comes to finished products.

Vitamin water can also be made very easily and without much effort. There are now countless recipe ideas for all possible needs, not only as a soft drink, but also special preparations of vitamin water that support weight loss and detoxification from the organism, or of course as an ideal supplement after exercise.

Depending on the preparation, vitamin water supplies new energy and also helps us to compensate for a lack of nutrients with this drink. In the following chapters we will therefore show you the best recipe ideas for your own vitamin water.

 

 

What is refreshing and healthy vitamin water?

 

The idea to produce a special vitamin water comes from America. Founded in New York in 1996, Glaceau was the first manufacturer of so-called smart water. Years later, energy drinks and vitamin water from the same manufacturer came onto the market. The company was then acquired by Coca-Cola in 2007. In Germany, Glaceau beverages have been available since 2012, but were discontinued at the end of last year because sales did not meet expectations. In the USA, however, these vitamin waters are still in high demand. Among the best-known products are the lemonade flavour Multi-V, the dragon fruit flavour Power-C, the citrus flavour known under the name Ignite, and of course the essential vitamin water with orange flavour. Every single combination allegedly offers a special effect due to the vitamins and nutrients it contains.

The actual idea for vitamin water came from J. Darius Bikoff, the founder of Glaceau and a well-known triathlete. Due to a cold he enriched his drinking water with vitamin C and zinc in order to recover more quickly. Today this drink is available under the name Defense, it is vitamin water with apple and raspberry flavour. Not all soft drinks are really low in calories. Some of them have stevia added as an alternative sugar, but normal household sugar may also be included in the vitamin water products on sale.

Vitamin water has long been a favourite drink among professional athletes, but it is also frequently used in mountaineering, among other things. Depending on the variety and brand, vitamin C, vitamins B, vitamin E, calcium and magnesium are added to the water. However, biotin, sodium and pantothenic acid can also be contained in the vitamin waters. These are functional drinks, which are basically based on table water, but contain vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and fruit and colour aromas. Electrolytes are also very important for our organism, as they protect us from heat damage, which can threaten our lives together with a lack of fluids. The most important biological electrolytes include calcium, chloride, hydrogen carbonate, potassium, magnesium, sodium and phosphate.

Electrolytes play an important role in our body, as they are mainly responsible for the spread of nerve excitation. They are also known as minerals or ions and are contained in our organism only in limited quantities. These substances decompose into positively and negatively charged ions and are therefore also able to conduct electricity in an aqueous solution. As they have a direct influence on the tension of the cell membranes, they are also responsible for the various processes of contraction in our muscles. A lack of minerals can therefore be expressed through painful muscle cramps. The most important ions in our organism are bound in water by our body. If we sweat a lot, we lose a lot of electrolytes. This is also the reason why we have to drink a lot, especially on hot days, otherwise the electrolyte level can fall dangerously. This leads to dehydration, which is associated with dizziness, nausea, dizziness and heart rhythm disorders.

Especially competitive athletes have to pay particular attention to their electrolyte levels, as they are naturally exposed to extreme loads and therefore also have a much higher demand for fluids. They are therefore dependent on a liquid absorption with electrolytes, which is why they prefer isotonic drinks in sports.

 

 

Effectiveness of electrolytes on the organism

 

Electrolytes or minerals are not only lost in competitive sports. Also frequent vomiting, diarrhoea or excessive sweating can lead to a deficiency. Since our body is unable to produce calcium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium and sodium on its own, it is dependent on food intake. In principle, our organism can regulate the correct and necessary composition of minerals through hormones, because, for example, if the electrolyte content is too high, then it is also excreted more strongly. Electrolytes can accumulate, especially if kidney function is impaired. They are then no longer sufficiently excreted from our body. Taking medication can also significantly affect the mineral balance and disrupt the electrolyte level. Malnutrition, an increased alcohol consumption, as well as a disturbed function of the endocrine glands also lead to a lack of electrolytes.

An electrolyte fault occurs when the measured value deviates significantly from the standard level of the electrolytes. If this is the case over a longer period of time, it may lead to hyperacidity, an impaired nervous system and in the worst case to death due to the failure of the organs. Severe electrolyte disorders are usually the case with sodium, calcium or potassium and are treated as medical emergencies.

A slight disorder, such as hyperacidity, can usually be easily compensated for by consuming water or vitamin water. If the lack of water or dehydration is already too advanced and can no longer be compensated

by drinking, then an infusion containing electrolytes is indispensable. Even a water shortage of only two percent in our body can cause symptoms such as dry mouth, headaches, little urine, low blood pressure and dizziness. Other symptoms are impaired vision, aggression, mental confusion and fainting. If the lack of water is not remedied, the tongue swells strongly and delirium occurs. However, those who ensure optimal fluid intake throughout the day usually have no problems with this. If you do not necessarily want to drink vitamin water, you should look for vegetables and fruit containing pectin as well as foods rich in dietary fibres. They are able to bind water and then release it slowly through the intestines.

Electrolytes control our water balance in the organism, which is important for the bile, as well as for the stomach and intestinal fluid, the synovial fluid and also for the brain water. They are of great importance for almost all physical processes, as they are located inside and outside the body cells. By the way, our nervous system relies on electrolytes to pass on information and impulses. Through a balanced diet, sufficient minerals can be absorbed. They are found in fresh fruit and vegetables as well as wholemeal products. However, it is essential to prepare them gently, otherwise the valuable ingredients will be lost if vegetables are boiled too long, for example, or washed too long under the tap. By the way, desserts and white flour products contain virtually no minerals, which is why consumption of these foods should be limited. Vitamin water is therefore highly recommended, as it provides our organism with valuable nutrients and can therefore really prevent many diseases.

 

 

Why is water so important for the metabolism?

 

Water is, as is generally known, the source of life, and our body is NO exception. However, most people do not worry about their own drinking habits at all and only drink if they notice a pronounced feeling of thirst. For our organism, however, drinking is almost more important than eating. A human being can survive several weeks without food, but only a few days without fluid intake, since almost two thirds of our body consists of this vital element. Water is the means of transport for blood, sweat and also for urine. Also, it is a necessary solvent for most pulps. The body temperature is regulated by the water contained, by sweating and sweat. In order to maintain the liquid level, the constant losses must be regularly compensated by an optimal liquid supply, since we also excrete large quantities of it daily, without paying much attention to it. Part of our needs is covered by food, but it is far from enough on its own. It is not for nothing that the recommended amount of liquid is at least two litres of water a day. By the way, we only feel thirsty when there is already a fluid deficit!

A water loss of only two percent, of our body weight, can contribute to the fact that the efficiency is strongly impaired by it. We get thirsty when half a percent is already missing. Although our organism is able to compensate for a slight lack of water, this is very dangerous for our health in the long run. It leads to dry skin and dried out mucous membranes, which makes us much more susceptible to bacteria and viruses. A lack of fluids also leads to constipation, urinary infections and kidney problems. If we drink far too little, our body is also less supplied with blood, which can lead to a loss of brain performance and to concentration disorders. Lack of fluid in our body is not only expressed by thirst, but also by loss of appetite, dry mouth, headaches and nausea. Our organism sounds a clear alarm if it is not sufficiently supplied.

The water requirement is higher during heavy sweating, physical exertion, diarrhoea or vomiting, fever and also during a diet. However, older people in particular drink very little, as the feeling of thirst decreases significantly with age. In many cases, however, they simply forget to drink or are afraid of having to go to the toilet more often at night. The German Nutrition Society therefore recommends a dosage of 2.25 litres for older adults in particular, one third of which should be part of solid food. So dairy products, salads and also fruit. The other two thirds should be made up of suitable drinks, such as vitamin water or stomach-friendly teas.

The recommended amount must be distributed evenly throughout the day. Of course, not only in older adults, but of course in every age group. It is advisable to have a drink close to your eyes at work or at home so that you are really reminded of drinking. It should also be clear to everyone that a suitable drink belongs to every meal, as this makes the food easier to digest and our body also receives important additional fluids.

Our metabolism has to supply all body cells so that we really feel comfortable and so that toxins can be broken down and excreted. However, he can only work well if we provide him with the appropriate conditions for this. Metabolism is the process of processing everything we consume correctly and appropriately. The food is therefore first crushed by our metabolism and then sorted out according to its usability. The nutrients contained are distributed as required and transported to the cells. All substances that are not useful for our body must be excreted as quickly as possible in order to guarantee a good state of health. Our metabolism keeps our body functions going, supplies us with heat or energy and is involved in necessary regeneration processes. Also, the metabolism is with the main culprit whether we lose weight, gain weight or grow. A clumsy metabolism, for example, is the reason why some people gain weight very quickly and simply cannot lose weight with many diets or with exercise. A fast metabolism, on the other hand, is usually the case for particularly slim people who would like to put on a little more weight.

A disturbed metabolism can not only cause overweight and underweight, but also depression, rheumatism, diabetes mellitus, impaired thyroid functions and growth hormone deficiency. It is therefore very important to get the metabolism back under control in a natural way. This is possible through a change in diet, in which the metabolism is well supplied by proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as through physical activities and a lifestyle that is as stress-free as possible. But water is also ideal for stimulating the metabolism.

It is assumed that an adult loses more than two litres of water a day. This happens mainly through urine, through the skin and also through breathing. This large amount of liquid is an average value, which is why the recommended intake of liquid also corresponds to this value. In principle, every person must drink as much as he needs personally, since not every body or metabolism is comparable to another. Stress and sleep deprivation, as well as the absorption of toxic pollutants such as nicotine or alcohol, also require more fluids. Even with a high body weight it is clear that this organism is dependent on much more water than an underweight person.

It is recommended to drink a large glass of water before eating. This increases the energy turnover over a longer period of time. Additional calories can also be burned. If you can drink more than two litres of water a day without any problems, you can even lose weight "unintentionally". You should also be aware that you can support these effects with vitamin water from fruit and herbs, which is why we will explain the recipes in more detail in the following chapters.

Only with water is our organism able to excrete the absorbed pollutants every day. These are absorbed by environmental and home toxins, as well as, of course, by nutrition. The more harmful substances we absorb, the higher
