The last couple of years have put into perspective, for most of us, the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. From trying fad diets to experimenting with different types of superfoods and trying your hand at the most trending recipe of the day on social media. You might think you have done it all, but not quite.
Just including healthy ingredients as part of your diet does not necessarily mean you are eating healthy. The secret to healthy cooking is the way in which your meal is being prepared or cooked. Here are our 6 secrets to help you get started with cooking healthier:
- Think smoothies and soup for dinner
Having a light meal for dinner not only helps improve sleep and digestion, but also boosts metabolism and reduces blood pressure, keeping you healthy. Smoothies or soups are the perfect dinner options to end your day with. Invest in Prestige Hand Blender that will help you prepare your meals in no time.
2. Try sautéing, steaming, pressure cooking and making stews
All of us have those days where we have no time to cook a perfectly healthy meal. That is when making one pot meals by either sautéing, steaming or pressure cooking come handy. Not only is it a faster way to help prepare your meals but also a healthier way. An electrical pressure cooker helps in retaining flavor, preserves nutrition value and is efficient in saving cooking time, while being easy to clean and maintain. Another option is using a multi cooker that helps you steam a variety of dishes like idlis, vegetables, fish etc.
3. If you want to fry it, Bake or Grill it instead
You might think that baking or grilling does not result in the same crispy deliciousness that fried foods have. Try baking or grilling your next meal with TTK Prestige’s OTG that will help retain the perfect texture you are looking for while being a healthier alternative to frying.
4. Replace oil with air and air-fry it!
If seeing all those reels and videos on social media of those delicious meals using an air-fryer have not inspired you enough, take this as a sign to switch to air-frying. A Prestige Air Fryer can help you fry, roast, grill and bake just about anything by using air and no oil.
5. Eliminate the use of oil with an electric grill
Right from sandwiches to steaks, barbeques or sizzlers, make it healthy, juicy and tasty with an electric grill that helps eliminate the usage of oil while retaining the flavors of your favorite meals.
6. Sautéing vegetables is better than frying, always
A quick sauté of your favorite veggies topped with your preferred seasoning makes a wholesome meal. Invest in a good non-stick cookware like a frying pan that requires less oil for cooking food. The non-stick surface not only allows you to have a healthy meal, but is also easy to clean, as food does not get stuck on the surface.
Making these small changes and investments in upgrading your kitchen and rethinking the way you cook your meals can go a long way towards maintaining your overall health. TTK Prestige is India’s most trusted cookware brand that ensures innovation, convenience, design and high performance in each of its products to meet your everyday needs.
