July 31, 2007
Cutting down on salt, starch, fat and sugar content in the diet helps the body in a variety of ways like prevents heart disease, lowers cholesterol, weight loss management, diabetes and so on.
1) Avoid using solid fats like lard and butter, instead go for vegetable oil.
2) Use low fat yoghurt instead of sour cream in dips, soups, salads and toppings.
3) Try skimmed milk instead of whole milk.
4) Reduce starch consumption by draining the water out after cooking rice.
5) Oil consumption can be cut down by parboiling vegetables first and then stir frying them. As the vegetables are partly cooked, the oil required and its absorption is very less.
6) Enjoy low sodium salt instead of the normal salt. Or use unsalted ingredients.
7) Replace sugar with honey or cut down the portions of sugar by one-third or one fourth in your dessert recipes.
With these changes, you can ensure healthy living without compromising too much on the taste and flavor.
