Vegetarian Days...so light!

Vejetaryenliğin çok sağlıklı olmayan, çok bilmiş insanlar tarafından uygulanan bir beslenme biçimi olduğunu düşünülür. Ancak bazı dönemler sebze ve meyve yemeyi ihmal edebiliriz. Daha sağlıklı bir yaşam için sebze ve meyve ağırlıklı bir yaşam benimseyebiliriz! Vejetaryen beslenmeyle hayvanları korurken lezzetli sebze yemeklerini birbirimizle paylaşabiliriz! Örneğin kaç kişi annemin yaptığı Girit usülü lezzetli enginarlı pilavı bilir? Ya da domatesli pilav ve bamye? Vejetaryen beslendiğimde, özellikle taze meyve ve salata yediğimde ben de resimdeki çocuklar gibi uçacağımı hissediyorum.

It is considered that being vegetarian is a unhealthy nutrition practiced by pedant people. However we may neglect to eat vegetables and fruits in some periods. We can adopt a more vegetarian life for a healthier life! While we protect the animals, we can share share the vegetarian recipes with each other! For example, how many people know delicious Cretian meal of rice with artichoke that my mother cooks? Or the rice with tomatoes and okra? When I eat vegetarian, especially take some raw and fresh vegetables and fruits, I feel as if I fly like the children on the picture.

A Doctor Case

Doktorlar yaşamımızda vazgeçilmez insanlardır. Herşeyimizden vazgeçeriz, sağlığımızdan vazgeçemeyiz. Biraz hastalansak can acısından hemen soluğu güvenilir bir hastanede alırız. Doktor bizi hemen iyileştirsin isteriz. Ancak doktorlar da insanlardır; acıkır, yorulur ve yoğun hasta ziyareti altında gergin, kızgın ve bezgin hissedebilirler. Bu koleksiyonu doktor arkadaşım Pınar Haznedar ve fizyoterapist kuzenim Tolga Çapanoğlu'na ithaf ediyorum.

Doctors are the undeniable people in our lives. We can release by everything, but we cannot by our health. When we get a little sick, we rush to a safe hospital because of the pain. We expect that doctor shall heal us immediately. Unfortuantely doctors are humans too: they get hungry, tired and they may feel nervous, angry and overwhelmed under the intense visits of the patients. I dedicate this collection to my doctor friend Pınar Haznedar and physiotherapist cousine Tolga Çapanoğlu.
