Tips to make your Diet Healthier
by Fitfoodies Mantra fitfoodiesIt would be prudent to say that food can essentially act as medicine
when given the chance, so why not make the best of the ingredients that
we are offered and utilize them to their fullest potential to reap
health benefits from them?
We understand that making drastic
changes to your diet could overwhelm you, so here we have a few tips and
tricks that will help you ease into the process gradually and steadily
without even making you feel like you are doing anything different.
- Change your Method of Cooking
How
you cook your food tremendously affects the nutritional value of the
food that you are cooking. However tempted we might be to indulge in
those French fries, always remember they have been deep fried,
definitely not a method of cooking our diet consultant in Delhi recommends.
Instead
of frying why not opt for a healthier method of cooking, like baking or
even roasting? The main reason as to why cooking methods like frying,
broiling and even shallow frying are considered unhealthy is because
during these cooking methods, many potentially toxic compounds are
formed. These are the sort of compounds that have been linked with
several diseases like heart diseases and even cancer.
Cooking
methods like baking, slow-cooking, poaching and stewing do not leave
space for such components to form and are thus healthier than any other
cooking methods.
- Eat Fruits, Don’t Drink Them
No
matter how many time you might have been told that fruit juices are
good for, the processed tetra pack of juice that you get at the local
markets, are anything but that. Those packs can literally cause one more
harm than good.
As whole fruits contain fiber, the sugar present
in them gets digested slowly and without causing spikes in the blood
sugar levels. This is not the same in case of fruit juices.
Most of
the time than not, the fruit juices you find in the market are made up
of fruit concentrates and sugar and water. There is literally no fruits
present in them.
We understand that now you will try to defend
the real fruit juices that you can find in almost every corner of a
market. Despite the fact that these might be real fruit juices, they
still are devoid of the right amount of fiber that is needed to make it a
healthy option.
So try to indulge in fruits the next time you decide to have a dose of a healthy and nutritious food.
- Water
It does not matter how many times we say this, but let us just say it again; water is your best friend!
From
promoting weight loss, maintaining weight and even increasing the
number of calories you usually tend to burn in one day, water can prove
to be a miracle worker when you think about it!
The next time you
feel like reaching for that can of pepsi or mountain dew, think again
and instead divert your hand to go grab a bottle of water instead!
