Instant Health Boosters

Many of us shy away from healthy foods simply because they are time consuming to prepare or else they are slightly on the more expensive side. But did you know there are some simple, yet effective ways to incorporate healthy ingredients without breaking the bank? Read on to learn more…

Add oats to literally everything: Not only are oats easy to find, but low in cost. Grind up a few cups of oats and keep it ready. Add this powder to soups, stews, smoothies, and even to your recipes for cakes and breads for a powerful punch of fiber.

Ditch all beverages except water: Stop buying sodas and juices and instead, stick to good old fashioned plain water. For a change, infuse a jug of water with mint leaves and cucumbers.

Replace sugar with honey: If you have to sweeten your coffee or tea, use only honey. Though it is sweet, it is nature’s healthiest sugar.

Say no to white: This should be a rule of thumb; from flour to sugar to rice and bread. If it’s white, don’t buy it. Opt for wholegrain, high fiber breads, cereals, rice, and flour.

Use herbs liberally: Stop relying on salt and heavily oily foods for flavor. B experimenting with different kinds of herbs, fried or fresh, you can easily infuse flavor, aroma, and still stay healthy.
