“Simple pleasures are the last healthy refuge in a complex world.”–Oscar Wilde.
We run.
We hustle.
The time we have still feels not enough.
It’s like a busy wheel that keeps spinning and spinning, right?
Often, it looks like 24 hours is not enough, is it?
Well, it’s not so.
You have plenty of time to pause the busy wheel for a moment.
You can have a break.
You can relish, sense, and experience little happiness scattered all over the day.
Asking How?
Well, pause what you are doing right now. And look around.
The sun, the grass, fresh air, coffees, flowers, a funny meme, easy parking spot, returning home after work, an extra box of lunch from your friend, etc.–all give us a few minutes to pause, reflect, and enjoy what we have.
These simple pleasures can make even the toughest of days pause for a while.
They can stop the busy wheel for a moment and let you breathe and relax.
What are simple pleasures? How do we find or define simple pleasures in life?
“If you don’t love the sea, the sun, all the simple pleasures, what sort of life are you going to have?”—Marty Rubin.
Simple pleasures are basic things. They are everywhere.
“Things, experiences, and feelings that let you relish, appreciate, and enjoy even a minute or two are simple pleasures. They bring happiness and gladness to you in a jiffy.”
Long shower after a long day, your dog waiting for you, knowing that there is a home, catching up with a friend you lost touch with, are life’s simple pleasures.
Recognize them.
Take the joy in them.
Also, don’t shrink these simple things as everyday routines or happenings.
As novelist A. S. Byatt said, “Our days weave together the simple pleasures of daily life…”
Simple pleasures are woven as a part of our daily life.
You don’t have to do anything specific.
You don’t have to go find anything.
You do not have to spend much.
You just have to recognize them, experience them, and relish them.

Simple pleasures and simple things make our life and our day worth living.
In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to overlook the simple pleasures that bring joy and happiness. We're constantly chasing deadlines, striving for success, and pushing ourselves to do more. Yet, amidst this hustle and bustle, it's essential to pause and appreciate the small things that make life beautiful.
Simple pleasures are the everyday moments that bring us comfort, contentment, and happiness. They're the little moments of joy that add color to our lives and remind us to slow down and savor the present moment. From sipping morning coffee to flipping through old photographs, these simple pleasures are accessible to everyone and don't require extravagant resources or elaborate plans.
One of the most overlooked simple pleasures is the sweetness of doing nothing, as the Italians beautifully phrase it - "Dolce far niente." In a world where productivity is often glorified, taking the time to simply be present and enjoy the moment can be incredibly refreshing and rejuvenating. Whether it's lounging in bed on a lazy Sunday morning or watching the sunset without any distractions, embracing moments of stillness can be deeply fulfilling.
Another simple pleasure that often goes unnoticed is the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Waking up to the rich scent of coffee brewing is a small but powerful delight that sets a positive tone for the day ahead. Similarly, the warmth of a bowl of soup on a chilly winter morning or the comfort of a good book on a rainy day can provide a sense of coziness and contentment.
Simple pleasures also extend to our everyday interactions and experiences. A heartfelt conversation with a friend, a spontaneous movie night with loved ones, or the feeling of discovering unexpected money in your pocket can bring instant joy and gratitude. These moments remind us of the beauty of human connection and the unpredictability of life.
Moreover, simple pleasures can be found in the little rituals and routines that make up our daily lives. Whether it's changing your handbag to match your outfit or indulging in a delicious smoothie after a workout, these small gestures can bring a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. Even the act of baking a simple cake or rearranging your kitchen cutlery can be therapeutic and rewarding.
In essence, simple pleasures are all around us, waiting to be discovered and appreciated. They remind us to slow down, be present, and find joy in the ordinary moments of life. By embracing these simple pleasures, we can cultivate a greater sense of happiness, gratitude, and fulfillment in our lives. So, let's take a moment to pause, look around, and savor the simple joys that surround us each day.

● Vegan foods and recipes avoid processed foods, processed sugars, too much oil, fries, and high-fat food items.
● Vegan diets are naturally high in fiber, low in calories, and low in fat.
● Certain restrictive nature of the vegan diet also contributes to reducing weight.
A 2016 Harvard University Study “vegetarian diets and Weight Reduction” by Ru-Yi Huang et al. concluded that Vegan/vegetarian dieters lose more weight than non-vegetarians after 18 weeks of monitoring.
Gourmet vegan foods are expensive.
● Vegan mock meat is expensive.
● Unsweetened soy/almond/oat/coconut milk costs more than normal dairy milk.
● A dairy yogurt costs less compared to plant-based yogurts.
The demand for veganism is limited compared to a non-vegan, normal diet. That is also a probable reason for the high price.
Vegetarians: Consume animal-derived products like milk and eggs, along with their plant-based foods.
Vegans: No animal products of any sort. No kinds of seafood. No active ingredients, preservatives, and even food colors from an animal source.
When it comes to being vegan or becoming vegan, there is no one-size-fits-all. I may prefer a completely raw vegan diet plan. Someone I know prefers going vegan thrice a month or twice a day.
For some, including eggs and occasional meat along with vegan foods, can work well. The preferences and methods in veganism vary. In the end, it all comes down to our personal choices and decisions.

Sometimes it is difficult. And other times, it can make you feel you want to quit and get back to a normal diet.
● Explaining your dietary preferences or finding the right food for you at social gatherings (with friends, families, and other events) can make things uncomfortable.
● Finding the right foods that cover all the nutrients we need in a day can seem like a lot of work.
● People around you having a normal diet can intimidate you.
It all happens.
● Fruits, vegetables, legumes, sprouts, beans, and lentils.
● Plant-based soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, etc.
● Non-dairy cheeses and chocolates.
● Nut butter.
● Rolled oats.
● Rice (white/brown).
● Avocados (good fat).
● Non-dairy yogurts.
● Nuts and seeds.
● Maple syrup, vanilla extracts, and dates syrup.
● Vegan bread and pasta.
Ovo-vegans take Eggs.
Lacto-Ovo vegans take Dairy and Eggs.
● Include good fats like avocado, coconut milk, nuts, and seeds. They help you stay full.
● Include fiber-rich foods like oats, beans, lentils, and such.
● Introduce little carbs. Add in rice, potatoes, and such.
● Hydrate yourself with water, smoothies, and juices.
● Not enough protein can also make you feel not full.
● Use cold-pressed organic oils in small quantities for your recipes.
These tips will help you stay full on a vegan diet.
By going vegan,
You avoid:
● Processed foods
● High-fat (not the essential ones)
● High levels of sugars, oils, and salts.
You include:
● Necessary fats.
● Fiber.
● Fruits and vegetables.
● Essential nutrients and vitamins.
With all the good things in a vegan diet, you can bring in considerable health changes in your body.

● Educate yourself about vegan diets, foods, and lifestyles. It will help you make well-informed decisions.
● If possible, attend vegan diet workshops and sessions to know more.
● Starting slow is the best option.
● Look for alternatives instead of cutting down your favorite foods.
● Look for vegan recipes and try them even when you are on a normal diet.
Focus on changing basics like:
● Including more sprouts, fruits, and veggies.
● Include smoothies along with your pancakes.
● Cut down dairy. Use coconut milk, soy milk, or almond milk in your coffees and chai.
● Have fruit bowls as mid-day snacks.
● Include seasonal and regional fruits and vegetables.
● You can choose a vegan diet type to suit you.
When it comes to the vegan diet, making a conscious decision and doing it willingly is the best idea.

● Start by reducing your dairy (as milk, cheese, coffee, tea).
● Have vegan days once or twice a week.
● If becoming complete vegan is difficult initially; include eggs in your vegan diet. Or, weekly, two servings of meat and a vegan diet. Fix the meal plan to your convenience.
● Replace sugars with date syrups, fruit purees, nut butter, etc.
● Include 2-3 fruits and vegetable servings in your day.
● Stock healthy alternatives in your pantry.
● Occasional indulgences like vegan pizzas, cakes, and chocolates will help you get the wholeness feel.
● Learn more about going vegan and becoming vegan. Gather knowledge about the vegan lifestyle.
These tips will help you go vegan easier.
Proteins: Tofu, soy milk, almond milk, peanut butter, seeds, nuts, grains, and legumes.
Iron: Beans, broccoli, raisins, iron-fortified breakfast cereals and muesli, and have lots of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for iron absorption.
Calcium: Broccoli, cabbage, okra, fortified unsweetened soy and oat milk, calcium-set tofu, pulses, dried fruits (raisins, apricots, figs, prunes), and calcium-fortified brown and white bread.
Vitamin D: You can take Vitamin D fortified soy drinks, breakfast cereals, and spreads. Get the early morning hours sunlight.
Gluten is a protein found in almost all grains like wheat, barley, and rye.
A vegan diet may include gluten or gluten-free foods. For example, you can be a vegan and still have bread, barley, and pasta. They have gluten. And they are completely plant-based.
Then you have brown rice and quinoa. They are vegan and gluten-free.
See the difference?
It is up to people to choose vegan and gluten-free or just vegan.

● Don’t become vegan because everyone’s buzzing about it on social media.
● If you are already lacking certain nutrients and not sure about your cuisine covering all the nutrients, you shouldn’t go vegan.
● If addicted to dairy, you shouldn’t go vegan quickly.
● Vegan plant-based foods can be expensive. Not everything, but quite a few vegan things are costly compared to a normal diet.
● Unless you prepare appropriate recipes filled with nutritious foods, the feeling of "did not eat well" or "I am not full" becomes natural in a vegan diet.
What reasons do you have? Let us know.
If you are a vegan or want to become a vegan, you have pretty excellent protein sources like:
● Lentils
● Peas
● Avocado
● Soy (contains all 9 amino acids needs for the body), tofu, tempeh, soy milk
● Peanuts
● Hemp seeds
● Chia seeds
● Artichoke
● Rolled oats (1/2 cup)
● Beans
● Tahini
● Buckwheat
● Spinach
● Nut butter
And for the Ovo, flexible, Lacto vegan types, there will be no problem with the protein source. They all take eggs.
Weight-Loss and Weight Maintenance:
● Vegan Diet has low-calorie, low-carbs, low sugars, and lower cholesterol compared to a regular diet.
● A vegan diet has low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, low blood pressure levels, lower rates of hypertension, and lower rates of Type 2 Diabetes.
Essential nutrients point of view:
● The regular diet that includes eggs, meat, fish, and dairy looks good compared to a completely vegan diet.
Katherine Tallmadge, RD, LD, Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, says:
If you are a complete vegan, you must be very careful in selecting your foods to get all the nutrients you need.
If not, the vegan diet makes your body energy less and nutrients less.
Kathy McManus, Director of Department of Nutrition at Harvard affiliated Brigham and Women’s hospital, says:
● Vegan diets can be healthy, but they can lack certain nutrients.
● The anemia seems to be a problem in a completely vegan diet. The body quickly absorbs animal-based iron compared to plant-based iron.
● Nutrients like iron and zinc get absorbed faster in a normal diet compared to a plant-based.
● For instance, an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish gets absorbed easily compared to the same omega-3 present in the flax seeds.
● If you’re a vegan, you might take a Vit.B12 supplement.
Take care in accommodating enough protein, iron, calcium, and vitamin B12 in your vegan diet.

Choose a comfortable vegan diet plan.
For example:
● You can try vegan foods twice a day followed by a normal diet with dairy and meat.
● You can try “vegan till lunch” or “vegan till evening” and have a normal diet plan for the remaining meal.
● You can take eggs and dairy (be Lacto-Ovo vegans) along with plant-based foods and avoid all meats.
● Some people like to go 80/10/10, i.e.80% fruits/veggies in their daily meals.
It becomes easy for you to start a plant-based diet if you start with any vegan diet plan.
● Start slow.
● Start with minor changes.
● Gradually increase fruits, green leafy veggies, grains, vegetables, lentils, non-dairy plant milk, sprouts, and nuts.
Take it easy! Take your time! It is the best way to go vegan.
