Three Ingredients That Make The Difference

Posted on August 22, 2013 by john in Health Food

There are three ingredients that can make a difference in our daily diet: sugar, fat and salt.

Sugar

This ingredient worries us when we are in a weight loss plan. How can we continue to enjoy a sweet taste in our dishes without the calories? In the market there are many sugar replacers based on sucralose, which are safe and we can use as we need to do, and have become popular as they are easy to find in any supermarket.

To sweeten beverages, envelopes are ideal and can take up in wallets and handbags.

To prepare desserts and cakes, we can use granulated version, however if we add natural fruit pulp apple or banana pulp, also achieves the sweetness you want. The mixtures with fructose and sucralose, will give us delicious and fluffy cakes. No clutch, there is a new substitute who does give golden crispy crackers and cakes.

If we were to prepared products can be selected versions of ice cream, cookies, candies, chocolates, cereals, tomato sauce and sugar-packed drinks, or preparations that include only the fruit sugar.

Caution: Always remember to read nutrition labels, many drinks made with natural fruits can contain in a container of 3-5 servings of fruits, but are concentrated in sugar.

Fat

Although according to the advice of nutrition professionals, fats are important in our body, we must be careful what we chose in our daily diet. Olive oil, nuts, avocados are foods that give us good fats but measure.

On the issue of the daily preparation of food, we must reduce the fat that we add to our meals. Make baked goods, grilled, steamed or grilled is great because we will not need to include excess oil or butter.

Another tip to reduce fat is to choose ham, dressings, margarines, mayonnaise and low-fat ice cream, which mainly contain less cholesterol and saturated fat.

Substitute sweet cream evaporated milk 0% in our white sauce is a great option too.

The spray oil is ideal for frying foods in people who want to watch their weight or must reduce calorie intake by a special diet.
Salt

An ingredient that we miss in our food always is sodium. Diets keep large quantities of seasoning is harmful to health. Lowering sodium consumption can mean more years of life for a hypertensive person.

But we’re not just talking about caring add table salt, but all kinds of condiments in sachets, in sauces and powder.

We have forgotten the true flavor of the meat, pasta, fish, rice and all food in general. The best option is to use natural spices and dry we can find in every supermarket. Enjoy a pasta with fresh tomato and basil, which not only give you lots of antioxidants for your health, but a low-sodium option.

Caution: canned goods, frozen prepared or have large amounts of sodium. Prefer natural tomatoes instead of canned. Also buy chicken and fresh meat, not the options that are already marinated.
