We are what we eat, and it is true that eating habits we learn from when we are very young, and we maintain them throughout our lives. So, it is super important to get used to eating a healthy diet from a very young age and follow some simple guidelines to cook much healthier.
How can we cook healthier?
- Cook with high-quality food that they are always natural and fresh. Remember that frozen can be just as good as fresh, if we defrost them properly. If you are thinking of defrosting something, have it thaw slowly in the fridge or microwave.
- Leave out ready meals. They tend to contain much more fat, salt and artificial additives than homemade ones. Furthermore, we do not know the quality of their raw materials.
- Always cook with olive oilLeave out the butter or margarine.
- Use garlic and onion. Garlic is antiseptic and onion helps us digest the fats in the food we eat.
- Do not go overboard with the shawl.
- Varies the type of cooking of the food, Combine the iron with steam, the oven with boiling, etc.
- Seasoning with spices to enhance the flavor of food.
- If you make fried, change the frying oil often, since when fats are heated several times to high temperatures, they degrade and are harmful to our body.
- Limit the consumption of fats like buns, butter, margarine, and red meat.
- Pay attention to the expiration date of packaged products.
