1. Change must be fun
Anyone who has ever tried a diet knows that we are reluctant to change our habits, and we find it particularly difficult to eat. In order to change your diet, you should proceed in small steps. Replacing an unhealthy habit with a healthy one with food that tastes fantastic is almost there. Lent can help, because if you test a new ritual for seven weeks, you can establish it during this time – or discard it after Easter without feeling guilty. So why not have a test breakfast like in East Asia – one Noodle soup with miso and vegetables – tastes good, is healthy and takes little work. Like yoghurt or sauerkraut, miso paste also contains plenty of lactic acid bacteria, noble mold cultures and other healthy microorganisms and enzymes after one to two years of fermentation. In order for these to develop their “probiotic” effect, miso should be heated as little as possible and only for a short time. In Japan, soybean paste is one of the protein-rich staple foods. However, it is used sparingly because of its high salt content.
