Nutritious, Easy And Healthy Recipes

By Mary Harris


There are so many reasons for maintaining good health. Good health leads to a better quality of life and in many cases longer life as well. Maintaining good health is however a challenge in this modern age that is dominated by fast paced living. People who live and work in today's world transition swiftly from one setting to the next for social and professional purposes. When this happens it can be quite difficult to pay attention to how the body is being treated. Easy and healthy recipes have therefore become high priority for many people.

Many nutritionists agree that the consumption of excessive quantities of meats and processed foods is bad for human health. Unfortunately, the more conveniently available meals, fast foods, are often laden with these ingredients. Additionally, many people today opt for fast foods because they think the health conscious alternatives are too difficult and time consuming to prepare.

One popular option for those who seek to eat healthy is the vegan recipe. Since the vegan diet excludes not only meats but also all forms of foods from animals and even fish, a recipe that adheres to this diet will include certain ingredients. Vegan meals are more restricted since they do not include any foods from animals. Vegans replace foods like cow's milk with vegan friendly alternatives like rice milk or almond milk. That way they do not miss out on the nutritional benefits of the foods they have chosen to eliminate from their diets.

Another type of recipe that is great for the very health conscious person is the vegan recipe. A vegan diet eliminates all foods from animals. This means that a vegan will not consume products such as cow's milk, cheese or fish. The vegan diet replaces the missing foods like cow's milk with healthier alternatives such as rice or almond milk

The problem with these types of meals is that many persons find them tedious and time consuming to prepare. Cooking methods such as broiling, baking and steaming are time consuming and the busy executive or working om may not have time for this. Additionally, some items require pre-preparation like peeling, dicing and marinating, also time consuming tasks.

Some of these nutritious recipes are focused on juices and this is a plus for ease of preparation. Ingredients that are beneficial to health are blended in some preparations. In others, their juices are extracted. Juicing is quick and easy when the ingredients are easy to prepare. Ingredients that would fit this description include cucumbers and starfruit, which only need to be washed and placed in the blender or juice extractor.

Some salads, such as tossed salad are quick and easy to make. For many of them washing and combining the items completes the process. For a tossed salad, for example, all that may be needed is washed bits of carrots cabbage and lettuce. This can be mixed with nuts such as almonds or other healthy additions like raisins.

Health enthusiasts must be aware though that optimum wellness requires more than simply a dietary adjustment. Physical exercise and ample rest are just as important as what is consumed. All of these must be taken into consideration by anyone who wishes to live a healthy life.
