Food Recipes For A Healthy Heart
By Barry J Smallhorn
Food recipes intended for a healthy heart usually have low carb,
low fat and low cholesterol. Meals for vegetarians are normally
the choice of those people who want to avoid heart diseases since
they are low in fat but rich in fiber.
Removing meat, fish, and poultry that are high in cholesterol
is usually a nice step in improving the health of your heart.
Another way to avoid the risk of such disease is to eat food
recipes rich in plant-based ingredients such as vegetable and
fruits bought from your local food store.
Tips for Healthy Eating
The following tips for making heart-healthy food recipes might
be useful to you:
• You can sauté your foods using water or just
a bit of oil. Oils like olive are believed to be healthy oil because
they are able to help lessen the levels of cholesterol present
in the blood. Cooking using low fat is advisable for the improvement
of heart health. Example of these methods are steaming, boiling,
broiling, baking and roasting. When cooking, you can also use
butter instead of oil in food recipes with applesauce, juice or
water.
• Eggs have high cholesterol. Therefore, instead of consuming
whole eggs, replace it with an egg replacer, tofu, and banana
in your recipes. But if your food recipe really needs to have
an egg, use the egg whites and remove the yolk.
• When buying ingredients for your heart healthy food
recipes, you must buy more fruits, whole grains, veggies,
legumes and other products which have free fat milk.
• Buy foods which are rich in fiber such as cereals and
whole grain breads. Fibers will help you to have a cholesterol-free
blood since it helps in cleansing the blood.
• Include making baked potatoes in your food recipes. However,
since you are promoting a healthy heart, you need not put a cheese
or butter on it.
• When making a salad, avoid using mayonnaise as your dressing
since it contains eggs. Ask for other alternatives to be put in
your salad.
• Make food recipes which have soy products because they
can be beneficial for the health of your heart. You can use soy
milk, tofu and soy yogurt in your recipes.
• Meat, dairy products, and eggs are the best source of
cholesterol. However, since you still need them as part of your
food recipe, just consume a little. Avoid consuming a lot of them
to avoid possible heart disease.
• Carrots and beans are high in fiber. Create food recipes
which include the two.
By following the tips above you are not only securing yourself
a healthy heart but also, you are giving yourself the chance to
eat the way you never did before.
Enjoy each healthy food recipe that you make and treat them as
your personal culinary treasure.

Did You Know?
What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are
pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons,
mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.
One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off
the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from
cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part
of your cooking basics.
Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer.
These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan
set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can
be used for anything similar.
