By Marjorie Richards


Every piece of food that you swallow will affect your body. To be fully fit, you need to start inside out and that begins with preparing easy and healthy recipes. With this newfound skill, not only can you prepare well-balanced diet for yourself but for everyone you wish to share your new lifestyle with.

Healthy cooking directions are abundant in the World Wide Web. There are websites that are dedicated to posting recipes. You can also download applications that have a vast list of recipes, which provides you with a feature of searching for a recipe with the main ingredient you want. . You can also subscribe to a mailing list that can send you new cooking directions to try everyday.

Turning over a new leaf is very difficult especially when it comes to food you eat. This change need not be too radical. Incorporate your favorite ingredient to your new healthy menu. If you like cheese for example, stop getting it with your burger and pizza, put it on a salad instead. After a few tries, your taste buds will adjust and may want to find new substitutes for cheese and then you can start experiencing with other add-ons.

If your family has a book of family recipes for generations, use it to inspire your healthy recipe. Home cooked meals are definitely healthier than fast food because you are using all natural ingredients and less oil. Alter these family recipes for a healthier version. Minimize oil for example by using a non-stick pan but make sure that the taste is maintained.

You may love restaurant or takeout food and are loathe to spend time over a hot stove. When you understand the great results, however, you will change your tune. Living better takes effort at first, but soon becomes second nature. Preparing foods from scratch, for example, stops being a chore as the pounds fall away and the doctor visits diminish.

When shopping for ingredients, make sure that all that goes into your cart is fresh. Avoid ingredients in can like tomatoes, corn and ready to cook sauces. Although raw, they are mixed with a few chemicals to maintain their freshness in the can. You can make all these when you buy fresh vegetables at the produce section. Learn how to choose fresh meat also. Smell and see if the meat is fresh before you have it packed. Fresh fish must be intact and has bright eyes. Know the tell tale signs of fresh ingredients.

When following a recipe, substitute some ingredients with their "lighter" "fat free" counterparts. Not only are these substitutes sometimes cheaper but also they have 50% less calories and fat.

It is good to start a collection of healthy recipes for future reference. It is also good to master the art of substituting fatty ingredients with healthier ones. Most of all, stick to this good diet, it will only be effective if it is consistently practiced.
