Nutritious, Easy And Healthy Recipes

By Mary Harris


Living fuller lives has become a priority for many people these days. More and more people are getting into the habit of eating well and exercising. Unfortunately, the fast paced nature of the modern world is making this difficult for many. This is why easy and healthy recipes have become so important.

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.

This is one reason vegetarian diets have become so popular among health nuts. A typical vegan recipe will include in its ingredients list items such as celery, carrots, almonds and cabbage. For vegans the items from the typical diet that they choose not to consume are replaced by vegan friendly alternatives. One example is cow's milk which is replaced by almond or rice milk.

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.

Another option for those who seek simple methods for preparing healthy meals is salads. One easy to prepare salad is the tossed salad. It comprises bits of washed vegetable, such as lettuce carrots and cabbage, mixed with other ingredients like raisins and nuts. For variety, the tossed salad may be mixed with various flavour enhancers, but when the luxury of time is not available a simple recipe will have to suffice.

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.
