Cooking Hacks For A Healthier Lifestyle
Steaming vegetables preserves their nutrients and reduces the need for added fats.
Replace butter or vegetable oil with olive oil for its heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Grilling meats and vegetables requires less oil and reduces overall fat intake.
Use herbs, spices, and citrus juices for flavor instead of salt or high-calorie sauces.
Roasting vegetables or potatoes gives a crispy texture without excessive oil.
Incorporate pureed vegetables like cauliflower or zucchini into sauces, soups, or casseroles for added nutrients.
Choose whole grain options like brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat pasta for more fiber and nutrients.
Make your own sauces and dressings to control ingredients, reduce sugar, and avoid preservatives.
