With
our busy lifestyles, more and more of us are turning to processed
foods. Apna urban families are fast turning into their American
counterparts when it comes to getting food by the bulk from that nearby
mall rather than making a daily trip to the bhaji market.
Frozen
peas right down to frozen curried vegetables, the choice is large. But,
while you may opt for convenience you're losing out on essential
nutrients. Here are some tips on eating right.
Choose the bhaji-market over processed food
• Vegetables
are cheaper! When bought in season, you can find a wide variety of
vegetables at your local market at reasonable rates.
• Vegetables
for energy. Veggies give a boost to energy levels by balancing the
nutrients in your body. While you're at it stay away from sugar as
well.
• Vegetables help prevent disease. By
helping maintain a healthy and strong immune system, you'll suffer from
fewer colds and other viruses doing the rounds.
• Vegetables
can help prevent cancers. Studies are showing that the vitamins,
minerals and fibre in veggies help protect the body from cancer and
malignant growths.
• Vegetables aid weight loss. By filling you up with fewer calories, vegetables
can make dieting a lot easier on your body.
Add veggies to your diet, without making it ‘boring’!
If
you're having trouble adding vegetables to your plate, here are a few
simple ways to get the recommended five servings a day.
•
Add some chopped vegetables to your eggs in the morning. Be it the
omlette or bhurji, this is one way you can tastefully add crunchy,
fresh veggies to your breakfast.
• Reach for
a glass of vegetable juice instead of your fruit juice (think carrot
combined with celery. To make it go down easier add a pinch of salt and
black pepper). Fine, they’re not the tastiest things to have, but a
glass of pure vegetable juice will contain all the vitamins and fibres
that even cooked vegetables won’t offer you, ever!
• If
it's pasta you're cooking up add vegetables to the tomato sauce. Top it
up with cheese and you’ve got yourself a healthy and tasty snack.
• Instead
of take-away try making your own pizza and add your favorite vegetables
– though you may not chop them as finely as those pros – to the cheesy
topping. Think about it, with the amount of pizzas you’ve been eating
at home and office these days, this habit can be quite healthy over a
long run, what say?
