Nutritionally Beneficial, 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.

Vegan meal preparation instructions are considered by many nutritionists to be very good for human health. They typically include fresh fruits and vegetables as well as nuts. Vegan dieters usually replace the ingredients that they miss like cow's milk, with the plant based alternative almond milk. When they do this they are basically ensuring that they do not miss out on any of the required nutrients.

Vegetarian dishes vary slightly in that they incorporate some types of foods from animals such as milk, fish and cheese. Vegetarian meals are also considered healthy and are less restricting than vegan diets because some foods from animals are included. Most nutritionists will readily recommend a vegetarian diet to their patients.

The difficulty with maintaining these types of diets lies with the length of time that it takes to prepare these meals. Pre-cooking activities such as seasoning and marinating are both time consuming and complicated for many. The actual cooking processes like baking, broiling and steaming are also time consuming.

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.

It is worth noting though, that complete wellness is not achieved by diet alone. Other factors such as rest and physical exercise must be incorporated into any plan to safeguard or maintain good health. Any health enthusiast who wants to achieve optimum wellness ought to ensure that a balance between these three elements, rest diet and exercise is found.
