Top 10 Healthy Cooking Tips

[Herbert Eddy]

Getting to eat good nutritious food is not just by selection of food
but also in the preparation of these foods. By changing the way of
cooking you can see a dramatic effect on your health yet giving you
the essential nutritional benefits. By having a proper cooking
strategy and some substitution in the ingredients you can retain good
health and improve the nutritional value in the dishes. This change
would also significantly reduce the risk of cancer and have better
health.
The following are the Top 10 healthy cooking tips
1. Reducing salt by half in your recipes would not have noticeable
change in taste but would help you stay healthy. Using herb, spice,
and lemon juice would work well with several dishes.
2. Making an investment in non-stick pan would help you avoid oil or
use low fat cooking spray.
3. Steaming your food instead of boiling it would ensure to retain the
flavor and color and give the essential nutrients. Use of Chinese
bamboo steamer of a good electric steamer would avoid cooking for
longer time. By cooking in extended heat and liquid will take away the
valuable nutrients.
4. Eating vegetables daily would keep you fit. Having a schedule to
add vegetables in the form of salads or adding them in the soups would
ensure the intake of vegetables. Using vegetable salsas instead of
heavy gravies or sauce would also help.
5. Use low fat cheese and skimmed milk in your daily food would help
reduce the cholesterol and fat content of baked foods.
6. Replace other oils by Olive oil and try to drain off the fat with
the kitchen paper and then eat it. Before reheating the soups make
them to chill so that you can skim the fat in the top.
7. Eating charred food should be avoided, as it would contain cancer-
promoting compounds. Microwave cooking is the beat choice to cook
vegetables due its short cooking time and ensures to retain the
nutrient value.
8. Looking for low fat recipes in biscuits and cakes and reduce the
fat by choosing applesauce, mashed banana, and yogurt yet getting the
required taste with less fat.
9. Using whole grain products instead of all-purpose flour will help
you add nutrition to your meal. Trying whole-wheat flour, oatmeal in
muffins and bread and soy flour in biscuits will be a healthy meal
option.
10. Eating fruit desserts instead of cookies and cakes and eating
yogurt sorbet instead of ice cream will be a good habit. Try serving
cake with fruit sauce instead of whipped cream.
