Vegan is the latest food trend of 21st century. Not only it's light on the stomach but, it is also a great initiative if you are planning to quit meat once and for all. You don't need to always rely on diners every time you crave for some vegan food. You can always prepare them at home. Let's go through a three course meal that are exclusively for vegans. Soup: A simple yet filling soup that you can prepare at home is the lentil soup. Easy to prepare, it requires less than half an hour of your kitchen time. Boil and pressure cook brown pulses (or pulses of your choice) for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep the consistency (thick or watery) as per your requirement. Add 2 table spoons of olive oil to a pan, once heated add finely chopped onion and garlic to the oil and cook them brown. Blend tomato in a mixer and add it to the pan, add kosher salt, pepper of your choice and cook it till it starts to form bubbles. Mix both, the pressure-cooked pulse and the gravy in a pot and cook it for another 5 minutes, serve hot in a bowl. Appetizer: Cut a cauliflower into small pieces, wash them thoroughly in hot water and set them to dry. Add half teaspoon of smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt and mix them well. While you do this, preheat the oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the mixture on all sides of the cauliflower pieces and set them on baking sheet laid on a baking tray. Bake them for 10 mins, change the sides of the florets and bake them for another 10 minutes until you see them turning brown. Serve them with cream cheese sauce or a dip of your choice. Main course: Missing the old BLT sandwich? Those slices of bacon stuffed between slices of vegies and bread. The sauce and the slices of cheese would make it more irresistible. Well, fret not, you can still treat yourself with an all-vegan BLT sandwich. Take two slices of multigrain bread, apply vegan mayonnaise (available in stores) on either side of both the slices. Cut tofu into thin slices and drain-press them well add the slices into a margination of half table spoon soy sauce, two tablespoon tomato paste, one tablespoon liquid smoke and keep them set for couple of hours. Once set bake them in an oven at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Place the tofu slices between veggies of your choice (add jalapenos if you want to make your BLT a bit spicier) place a slice of cheese and cover with the slices of bread and grill them to perfection.

Taking good care of yourself is one of the best ways to maintain perfect health. The healthy habits that you follow will have a significant effect on the state of your health and immunity in the long run. So it would be a worthwhile effort to make some lifestyle tweaks in your everyday routine to accommodate some healthy habits to keep cold and flu at bay: Wash your hands Before you eat your food, you should mandatorily wash your hands. Failing to do so increases your chances of falling ill quickly. Your hands may come in contact with objects that might be contaminated or full of dust. If you eat your meals without cleaning your hands, you will ingest all the germs that are on your hands. Avoid picking your nose A simple way for you is to blow your nose inside the sink in case you want to clean it, but picking your nose is a filthy habit. This can spread different types of infections and increases your chances of falling ill since the cold and flu viruses usually spread through the mucus. Do not skip breakfast Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Therefore, it needs to be a very healthy one. Having a healthy and heavy breakfast in the morning can keep you satisfied and energetic throughout the day. Cut your nails regularly Germs tend to collect inside dirty nails, especially if you do not cut them and clean them often. These germs may get into your food, and you might directly ingest them if you tend to bite your nails. Exercising Exercising tends to make a person sweat, and it is essential for a person to sweat out the toxins inside the body. It helps to maintain an ideal weight and makes the person more immune to common cold and flu. Good sleep A good night’s sleep, which means at least seven to eight hours a day, can improve immunity and keep your healthy. If you make your body go through odd sleeping hours, your chances of catching that seasonal flu will also increase. Maintaining a healthy routine is critical for building up a strong immune system and fighting off common ailments.
