Quick Healthy Recipes For You

Who doesn’t want to eat quick healthy meals? I do, you do. But wanting to eat quick healthy meals is one thing; finding them is another.

You see, many recipes for healthy eating were developed long before soil depletion took its toll on the nutrient content of the fruits and vegetables that make their way to our tables. For instance, potatoes used to be very rich in Vitamin A. Today, you will find very little, if at all, Vitamin A in your potato. The nutrients you think you’re getting from certain plant sources may no longer be present.

Do you know how many tomatoes you’ll have to eat today to match the nutrient content of one tomato from the 1950′s? It’s 8. But forget getting hung up on that figure. I’m not talking tomatoes to show off my knowledge of fruits and vegetables. The point I am making here is that when you look for recipes for quick healthy meals, you should not forget to assess the ingredients that go into their making. For one, there’s the allergen potential. For another, there’s nutrient degradation.

Fortunately for nutrition buffs (and I’m one of them), we are not entirely without resources. Healthy Urban Kitchen, for example, is a very reliable source of recipes that give me lots of elbow room for customization. I’m not a picky eater because I want to lose weight; I’m a picky eater because I take pains to be healthier and I’m not about to ruin that by stuffing my mouth with the first dish I come across. What sets the Healthy Urban Kitchen cookbook apart from other cookbooks is that it’s not just for any foodie, it’s for the health-conscious foodie. At the same time, it includes a lot of comfort foods into its selection. With this cookbook to streamline your menu with, you can eat better and lose weight as a bonus.
