Fish – The Healthy And Nutritious Way

I was watching the channel “Discovery Travel and Living” the other day. Food related shows are definitely one that catches my attention. They are a great source of information about food in particular and of course not to mention the numerous wonderful recipes. Last evening was what I call a “foodie evening” on the channel. This is one reason that I love Thursdays. There is nice program titled “Floyd’s India” followed by “Indian Cooking made easy” with Anjum Anand hosting it.

In Floyd’s India, he chooses a destination each time and is acquainting his audience with the cuisine of the particular place. He actually does cook some of the traditional or popular recipes. The first episode was on Rajasthan, a state in India. This week however, he decided to put up his tent at the popular tourist destination – Goa. A wonderful episode for seafood lovers. He cooked fish, crab and even mussels.

A Break From The Norm- A Lesson In Food Appreciation, Preparation And Dining

Fatigued physically and mentally from a second strenuous days trekking, tackling steep gradients and negotiating the rough terrains of the Chiang Mai Jungle, everybody began to crave for a good rest and most importantly a good meal.

Lunch time on our trek was non existent and I found myself reflecting upon home life. The smell of slow cooking lamb shanks filling the kitchen, whilst the potatoes crackled and the vegetables waited, freshly chopped, in the steamer. However, I could not help feeling a twinge of sadness, acknowledging how myhome life had been taken for granted. I underappreciated the food that was always available to me, as I had never been in want of anything. Read More

Changing How You Eat

As you may know, not fueling up with the right nutrients can affect how well your body performs and your overall fitness benefits. Even though healthy eating is important, there are myths that hinder your performance if you listen to them. Below, you’ll find some myth busters on healthy eating.

1. Working out on an empty stomach. If you hear a rumbling noise in your stomach, the rumbling is trying to tell you something. Without listening to them, you are forcing your body to run without any fuel. Before you exercise or do any physical activity, always eat a light snack such as an apple.

2. Relying on energy bars and drinks. Although they are fine every once in a while, they don’t deliver the antioxidants you need to prevent cancer. Fruits and vegetables are your best bets, as they are loaded in vitamins, minerals, fluid, and fiber.

3. Skipping breakfast. Skipping breakfast is never a good idea, as breakfast starts the day. Your body needs fuel as soon as possible, and without it, you’ll be hungry throughout the day.

4. Low carb diets. Your body needs carbohydrates for your muscles and the storing of energy.

5. Eating what you want. Eating healthy and exercising doesn’t give you an all access pass to eat anything you want. Everyone needs the same nutrients whether they exercise or not, as well as fruits and vegetables. 6. Not enough calories Although losing weight involves calories, losing it too quickly is never safe. What you should do, is aim for 1 – 2 pounds a week. Always make sure that you are getting enough calories to keep your body operating smoothly. If you start dropping weight too fast, eat a bit more food. 7. Skip soda and alcohol. Water, milk, and juice is the best to drink for active people. You should drink often, and not require on thirst to be an indicator. By the time you get thirsty, your body is already running a bit too low. Changing how you eat is always a great step towards healthy eating and it will affect how your body performs. The healthier you eat, you better you’ll feel. No matter how old you may be, healthy eating is something you should strive for. Once you give it a chance, you’ll see in no time at all just how much it can change your life – for the better.
