NUTRITION
NUTRITION
Over the last several decades, we’ve been trained to want a “faster” and “easier” mode of doing everything.. The goal for those of us trying to maintain or improve our health is to prepare most of our foods from ingredients that are healthy. Ideally, many are products that we grew in our own gardens, or from a farmers market, or, at the very least, aren’t packed full of chemicals and disease. We like to tell people to shop at the edges of the store because that’s where a lot of the good stuff lives. Things like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains are often found around the edge. Ironically, the things in boxes often live in the center of the store. These are often highly processed and their origins, as well as their nutritional value, can be ill-defined. In our fast-paced society, we need to develop strategies that reduce prep time. Cooking can be a social thing, but usually people just need to get it done and move on. By eating more of our foods raw, we can obviously reduce prep time while getting the highest nutrition possible from that product.
Remember to consume plenty of water. Consume 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Eat a level handful of nuts each day. 20% of all calories now come from snack foods—eliminate snacks. Choose whole grains—whole wheat bread, whole grain cereals, and brown rice Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages, including fruit juice. Eat more legumes. Learn to read food labels. The subject of nutrition can be confusing and appear daunting, especially with the conflicting opinions people throw around on the Internet and TV. This program is designed to be simple and easy to follow, given your dedication to bettering your life. In our desire to live longer and feel better about ourselves, remember that good nutrition is one of the best ways to get there, and you can get there.

Eating healthily needn’t be boring – or expensive! This book brings practical vegan cooking and baking to life. It is jam‑packed with mouth‑watering recipes and food‑preparation tips for every occasion, from breakfast to supper and from starters to desserts.
You couldn’t wish for a more helpful book when it comes to healthy food preparation. Most of the ingredients are readily available, and every one of these recipes is free of animal products – no meat or dairy produce here! What’s more, the author places great emphasis on using whole foods, making this book less about what good cooking doesn’t contain, and more about what it does – namely, wholesome, nutritious, tasty goodness, just the way it was intended to be. |
