The subject of healthy eating is already painfully familiar to us, because it is constantly talked about, but it is one of our favorites. And the culture of proper nutrition is really important because we need to be well informed about what is good to eat and which foods are harmful.
However, it is rarely talked about that there are also methods by which, after we have selected the healthy products, we can cook them in a healthy way. Because at the end of the day, however healthy broccoli, for example, is, it stops being healthy if it's served breaded and swimming in fat, right?
That's why here we have selected some healthier cooking tips, with which you will achieve a healthier culinary treatment of your meals. Because there comes a time when you need to give your stomach a break from high-calorie foods and meals!
First of all, it is important to mention that the healthiest ways to cook by subjecting products to heat treatment are by boiling, steaming, in the oven, stewing or grilling/barbecuing.
The last one should not be overdone either, because more and more claims indicate that grilling products incorrectly can even be carcinogenic.
On the occasion of listing the healthiest ways to cook, we will add that it would not be a bad thing to have additional household appliances for healthy cooking such as an air fryer, for example. As long as you can afford them, of course.
There are quite a few delicious recipes that call for frying or breading. That's right, you can hardly escape that fact. In such cases, however, use very little fat and after frying/breading the products are left for at least a few minutes on kitchen paper so that the fat can be absorbed.
Never reuse the fat in which you fried or breaded. It's better to throw it in the trash than jeopardize your health, right?
Very long heat treatment of vegetables literally drains the vitamins from them. Aside from root vegetables and potatoes, almost everything else takes no more than 10 minutes to boil or stew.
Learn to use as little salt as possible to flavor your dishes, and only add it during preparation. When you add salt to already cold food, your body will take in too much sodium, which in large doses is definitely harmful.
