My craze to stay healthy and somewhere now just went down
only to black and white. Though I very cleverly make it a point to install all
these cooking tips to enhance my family’s diet and as such to keep them
healthy. Being a working mother my responsibility increases doublefoldedly as I
have to make something healthy but also indulge less time in it. After all, who
doesn’t want to stay healthy?
We all want to stay healthy and so we always look out for any
such useful and healthy tips which will help us to reduce our weight and
maintain a perfect balance in our regular diet. I have always been fascinated
by the tips shared to me for a balanced diet. In the long run it only remained
nothing more than an informative piece. I always plan out for a healthy diet
which would kick off my extra calories by eating healthy.
Certain
food items we should never be indulging:
1.
Sweets: We should
make it a point and consider that sweet is sin.
2. Aerated
drinks: We should stop
drinking all types of colas, Pepsis and also avoid any types of fruit juice.
3. Saturated
fats (found in fatty meats, butter, ghee, palm oil, coconut oil, trans fats and
hydrogenated oils) and fried foods like puris, prantha, pakora etc
4. Milk
Products: Stop consuming processed
cheese, butter.
5. Eat less of
salt and sodium.
These were some of the tips we
should consider as a sin if we want to be fit and healthy. But together with all
this we have to also maintain some healthy cooking tips like we should always
remember …
Ø Cooking
medium to be restricted to 10-15 g/day. Use oil low in saturated fat and high
in mono-unsaturated fat.
Ø Supplement
wheat with whole channa.
Ø Mix rice
with whole grams or dals in a ratio of 1:1 to incorporate fibre.
Non-vegetarians can flaunt this sample menu
Ø Low fat
protein sources like fish is a good option.
Ø Fish is
rich in omega 3 fatty acids which are good for the heart. It is recommended
that at least 100gms of fish is consumed twice a week.
Ø White meat
like chicken is a source of healthy protein. It is lower than red meat in calories,
but one should remove the skin and eat. Ideal preparation ways are grilling,
roasting or baking.
Ø Stick to
lean protein and you can maintain a healthy weight and good health.
These healthy eating tips have already been inflicted by me
in my day to day preparations and hence thought of sharing some with you.
Hope
