how should we take a balanced diet
Answers
Answer:
Eat five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Keep a supply of healthy snacks to hand. This will stop you from eating an unhealthy snack when hungry. Remove all visible fat from food before you cook it – take the skin off chicken and trim the white fat off any meat.
Answer:
Explanation:
Decrease the meat and add more vegetables to your dishes.
Use whole wheat flour instead of refined flour when you bake.
Blot your fried foods to take off the extra oil.
Use low-fat yogurt instead of mayonnaise
Add cut fruits to your curd, rather than having flavored yogurt
Try to skim milk instead of a normal one.
Use non-stick cookware to reduce the need for oil to cook.
Microwave or steam your vegetables rather than boiling to avoid loss of nutrients.
Fats in your foods should be maintained a minimum.
Choose lean meats and skim dairy products. Fats are good in the form of nuts, seeds, fish, olives when they are accompanied by other nutrients. Some amount of fats while cooking is good as to help the body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
If you wish to use oil, try cooking sprays or apply oil with a pastry brush. Cook in liquids (such as vegetable stock, lemon juice, fruit juice, vinegar or water) instead of oil. Use low-fat yogurt, low-fat soymilk evaporated skim milk or cornstarch as a thickener instead of cream.
Choose to scrub the vegetables than peel as there are many nutrients in the skin. When you have to boil the vegetables, retain the vitamin-rich water and use it as a stock in another preparation.
Switch to a reduced salt wholemeal or wholegrain bread.
For sandwiches, limit your use of spreads high in saturated fat like butter and cream cheese; replace with scrapings of spread or alternative nut spreads or low-fat cheese spreads or avocado. Choose reduced-fat ingredients like low-fat cheese or salad dressing.
Add a lot of vegetables to your sandwich to make it healthier.
