I realized it was not only me but lifechanged for a lot of people during COVID-19 Pandemic. Locked up in the comfort of the homes, the only thought that loomed over head was “what to eat next”. For all those who had never seen the kitchen attempted to start cooking meals at home as going to a restaurant was not the best option in the Pandemic. In the midst of everything, I realized it happened to create our science of healthy eating out of our own personal preference.However,in many research articles and studies that were conducted, itrevealed that the ideal diet to maintain is to be healthy; so why not enjoy Healthy Eating?
To make life easier, I also started looking for ways to healthy alternatives to eating. As now the ingredients are in your hand and you are the chef so why not feed your family good which is nutritious and healthy. Here are some facts that I discovered down the lane to solve the mystery behind healthy eating from the comfort of home.
1. Eating whole fruits and vegetables that have not been processed!
Want to get the full nutrients and healthy vitamins from the food you eat? Try eating whole fruits and vegetables. It means either eating them raw or eating them unprocessed. This can help you keep on track to healthy eating, and you will be getting the vitamins you need from the foods you’re eating!
2. Eat more starches like potatoes and sweet potatoes!
Do you know that potatoes have a very low amount of fat and are loaded with starches that your body needs? Try eating potatoes in their natural form, without a bunch of other ingredients added on, and enjoy the delicious texture and flavor of this vegetable! Interestingly, there was a man named Andrew Taylor who maintained an all-potato diet for an entire year, and he lost 117 pounds! That’s right, he only ate potatoes for an entire year and lost weight! He got his starch intake; you should get yours!
3. Substitute cooking oil for water or broth!
Work on the heat and oil in the pan is no hard and fast rule to start cooking. Have you ever wondered there is no harm in skipping oil as a step one and looking to create a healthy alternative? Water or broth! You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water base as per your own preferences to add delicacies to your everyday meal.
4. Thicken your smoothies!
Many people think that you need to add yogurt or other alternatives to create a thicker smoothie but that is totally not necessary! Did anyone ever tell you that if you blend ice with your ingredients, you create a thicker smoothie? If it’s not thick enough, add another handful of ice and blend it some more until you achieve the thickness you desire! The chill trick works, try it!
Eating healthy and unhealthy is a choice that you make! Healthy dietary practices start early in life, whereas diet evolves over time. It is heavily being impacted by various social and economic factors like income lifestyle that interact in a complicated manner to shape individual dietary patterns so choose a simple living and adopt Eating Healthy Eating Happy!
