Fast food is often very handy for lunch, and usually pretty
tasty as well, but you should really try to cut back on it
from a health stand point. You don't have to completely cut
out the foods you really love, but you will for sure , find
healthy foods that you will love just as well. Remember,
health is wealth.
Life is so much better if you are free of disease and you
can enjoy an active life style. Proper diet and adding good
exercise can keep many diseases at bay.If the body receives
the proper nutrition, it is better for the immune system in
it's fight against infections and free radicals in the
body. When your immune system is healthy, if you get ill,
recovery is much faster.
Cook at home. Home cooking provides a better control of
food and noticeably reduces consumption of trans fat,
sugar, salt, and numerous food additives. Commercially
prepared foods like hamburgers, hot dogs, fried potatoes,
chips, cakes, and crackers are probably the biggest source
of trans fats in our diet. Make your own pizzas, burgers,
cakes and other things you like. Sure it takes time, but
what is your health worth?
cook with the seasons and use ingredients that are as fresh
and locally produced as you can get without undue expense
or hassle. Organic produce is desired because it is better
for you and the dirt. We don't think about it, but fertile
dirt is a precious resource. Without it, we don't eat.
Cooking at home also provides a more relaxed, laid back,
slower atmosphere for the meal. Joy is a wonderful
anti-aging remedy, so enjoy and savor your food! When you
eat slowly, you taste the food more and you are satisfied
with less. Eating slowly gradually reduces your appetite
right from the time you start to eat. Mealtime is fun and
relaxing. It's a time to catch up with friends and family
and enjoy each others' company. I believe that it's really
important to be relaxed and ready to eat. Relaxation aids
digestion and nutrient absorption.
The hard part about cooking at home is that you sometimes
find yourself at a loss for what to make. So you scramble
through the cupboards trying to please the whole family
with something interesting but everyone responds with "no I
don't like that" or "no thats boring" or "no we had that 2
days ago".
Most of us never know that many of the tasty and rich
dishes as well as the side dishes that we relish at
parties, receptions and restaurents were in fact prepared
very quickly and easily with little effort. Therefore this
means that if you have the will and ideas, you too can make
many delicious dishes during a special occasion with little
time. The trick is to choose a simple meat dish and dress
it up with more decadent side dishes. You will be surprised
to know that the rich side dishes which were in greater
number then the meat dish, were, in fact very simple and
easily made while the main meat dish had to be prepared
with great culinary skills.
I usually don't cook with precise measurements and like to
vary the dishes seasonally. After you follow a recipe once,
play around with seasonings the next time to suite your own
tastes better and use what you have on hand. Another useful
tip for cooking for special occasions is never cook
anything that is foreign to you or you don't really know
about its process as this will take a lot of your time and
you may make mistakes.
When you are on a journey to healthier eating and preparing
healthy meals, it can be challenging because many of the
foods you prepare may seem bland and frankly, boring. To
compensate, you turn to seasoning spices, which are a
terrific way of adding flair to your healthy meals, making
it much easier for you and your whole family to enjoy. When
we are trying to eat healthy we often use spices to make
our dishes more appealing and exciting.
Dinner is a great classic. That is the time when families
bond; daily activities are shared; we reveal our secrets
and form lifetime memories. Not enough people make the time
for an enjoyable dinner with friends and family and great
food. Take-out has taken over. The positive thing to
cooking at home is that it's made with all KNOWN
ingredients and your not surprised by what ends up in your
dish or what ends up on your waistline.
