Eat healthy........Stay fit........!!!

The term healthy food generally means light food, food with nutritional value- beneficial for human body,that keeps extra kilos away , helps you to stay healthy, slim, fit and so on….. All these are beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition.

'Healthy food' is sometimes also called natural food, organic food, and wholesome food. 'Healthy food' may also refer to functional food: food for which a specific claim of health benefit is made, such as that consumption of a certain food that may prevent some disease.

In today’s life lot of us have become very health conscious and people who are very critical about their fitness and wellness  love to eat healthy food, and that becomes a comfort food for them e.g. sandwiches, salad, soups, fruits, steamed food and less fatty food.

In general all the comfort foods are flavorful having soft consistencies.

Eating light and healthy food keeps you fit and charged up, when ever we talk about any kind of food people look up to Chefs.So here's a Chef's point of view on this:
I love to cook healthy food or food which has some benefits to human body, because of our ancient secrets of healthy food and medicines...'Ayurveda'. As per Ayurveda, every ingredient has its own medicinal value, as long as we cook it properly, and at the correct time of the season.

These days searching for such food is very difficult and there are very few Chefs with that kind of in- depth knowledge of Ayurveda and Vedic food.

The easiest way to get healthy food these days are sandwiches, salads, soups and so on, all these food is available in all the five star hotels and good restaurants.

You can eat any thing you wish to as long as its eaten in a specific quantity, anything in excess is bad for human body in some way or other.

Some of my personal favorites are:
-Chicken clear soup or consommés with vegetables
-Fresh greens and raw vegetables with any kind of vinaigrette
-A wholesome sandwich with crisp lettuce, veggies and topped-up with some smoked poultry fillets
-Steamed fish with roasted garlic chips, ginger and light soy sauce
-Pan seared pomfret with fresh basil, garlic and olives
-Roasted chicken with steamed vegetables and light jus

Stay healthy, be fit and let the good days roll in our lives
