The world is facing serious global problems such as climate change, global warming and biodiversity reduction. In order to prevent these problems, sustainability is becoming more and more important. Our nutritional habits also play an important role in ensuring sustainability.
Did you know that 1.3 billion tons of food is thrown out every year worldwide? When we take into account the waste of water, agriculture, and labor for these wasted foods, we have a highly negative balance sheet. In order to turn these negative results to positive, we should follow a sustainable diet. So what does sustainable eating habit cover?
- Reducing red meat and processed meat consumption.
- Increasing plant-based consumption.
- Avoiding waste by preserving the foods well.
- Eating as diverse and sufficient amounts as possible.
- Consuming fish that are produced sustainably.
Probiotics are on the rise

There are hundreds of different types of microorganisms in our intestines. These microorganisms, which have many metabolic functions, also form our intestinal flora. And at this point, probiotics take over dozens of tasks, such as regulating the intestinal system, strengthening immunity and helping weight control, strengthening the intestinal wall, reducing the risk of cancer, taking protective action against heart disease, protecting the liver, and removing harmful substances by fighting allergens in food.
Yogurt, kefir, boza, soup with dried yogurt (tarhana), fermented foods, vinegar, and fermented cheeses that are enriched with probiotics are both easy to access and easily consumed as probiotic foods. According to experts, consuming these foods regularly plays an important role in terms of intestinal and general body health.

Each day more and more people follow vegan eating style for various reasons. It is not just about eating though. It is way of living affecting your habits in every corner of your life. You should exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. And in the vegan diet, no animal products are consumed, including meat, eggs and dairy products. For this reason, the vegan diet, which varies from ethical to environmental concerns, but can also be caused by the desire to live healthy, seems to be even more popular in 2020.
