Techniques for Healthy Cooking

Remember that the deliciousness and nutritional value of your food not only depends on what you cook but also on how you prepare it. We all know that frying something or breading it will increase its caloric content and it won't be as good for the body as a dish made with a healthier technique. The interesting thing is that it's not just about more or fewer calories, but the way you prepare your food also relates to how you preserve its nutrients and how your body receives those products. The golden rule is that what is cooked slowly and with low-temperature techniques will ultimately be healthier than those cooked at higher temperatures and under pressure. In other words, steaming will always be better than frying, and boiling will always be better than roasting. If what you are looking for is an extremely healthy diet, then this is the way to go. When you boil or steam, what you are doing is preserving the cells of the food and therefore safeguarding all its nutrients. It has been proven that frying and roasting begin to break down the molecular chains of foods, causing them to lose their positive traits. Another example is the double boiler for desserts. This technique, based on cooking or melting chocolate indirectly and at a gentle temperature, helps the cocoa maintain its flavor and keeps all its antioxidants intact when eaten. In fact, cooking chocolate directly burns the product and ruins both the flavor and the texture and complexion of the ingredient. It has also been proven that those who suffer from diabetes should cook with calm techniques and avoid exposing products to intense temperatures, as the boiled and steamed ingredients they consume increase their resistance to high glucose levels, thus preventing the worsening of their condition or completely evading the disease if they experience some early symptoms. Our tradition is to cook quickly, especially when we lead busy lives and work a lot. This leads to using the microwave and cooking fast, which is harmful to health. Our diet is our fuel, and it is only right to take the time to prepare our food properly and make the most of what it has to offer.   Healthy Recipes Recipe for Steamed Lobster with Butter Ingredients: - 800 grams of lobster - 1/2 cup of white vinegar - 1 stick of butter - 1 tablespoon of finely chopped green onion Click here to see the steps to prepare this recipe.     Recipe for Steamed Vegetables Ingredients: - 1 cup of carrots - 1 cup of green beans - 1 cup of broccoli - 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter Find the steps to prepare this recipe by clicking here.   Cook with these healthy techniques to get more nutrients from your food.
