Easy And Healthy Recipes For Optimum Health

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.

Nutritionists tend to agree with the assertion that meats and processed foods are generally bad for human health. Sadly though, many people consume fast foods, which often come loaded with these harmful ingredients. They often opt for these meals because they are easily accessible and the natural and nutritional alternatives are considered to be 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.

Many people look to a vegetarian recipe when seeking a meal preparation plan that is ideal for health. This type of meal plan typically includes a lot of vegetables and fruits along with a limited amount of foods from animals such as milk, fish and cheese. The vegetarian diet is also considered health friendly by nutritionists.

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.

The good news though, is that not all healthy meals require complicated and time consuming processes. This is especially true for those recipes that require little or no cooking. Juices for instance, can be created in a matter of minutes and sometimes seconds, depending on the amount of ingredients being used. Quite often, all that is required is a juice extractor and a blender.

Some salads, such as tossed salad are quick and easy to make. For many of them washing and combining the items completes the process. For a tossed salad, for example, all that may be needed is washed bits of carrots cabbage and lettuce. This can be mixed with nuts such as almonds or other healthy additions like raisins.

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.
