curious asked: My aunt told me that I have to bear in mind that we can’t always have a wonderful and ‘healthy’ food in our house. That is like, I should eat whatever is set on the table. She emphasizes that we can’t always have wonderful healthy recipes- low fat, low calories, etc. healthy living since most of our foods rely on frying, etc.
Can anyone suggest cheap but easy yet healthy main meals, recipes so I can prove to her that having healthy lifestyle don’t hinder lack of money. Even just eating fresh fruits and veggies are a cheap way and one of the steps to a healthy lifestyle isn’t?
That’s why I volunteered to be the cook for a while instead of my grandma… healthy cooking-simple meals, soups, anything with veggies… any suggestion so far? Good and easy recipe cooking website?
Well, I suppose olive oil is expensive to consider… my grandma used to buy that ordinary cooking oil ( I don’t know what’s that made out of). Often, we cook our meals and we don’t rely on ready food fads out there. However, I think it’s a matter of experimenting something new,healthy, and simple cooking without much cost isn’t? I often debate this one to my aunt.
I agree with SubJ that low income is conducive with a much healthier lifestyle since most people buy on markets and markets are everywhere (even on the streets) like in 3rd world countries and most of the fresh stuffs just came from farms or even in nearby provinces. Just notice why most Asians are slim… though I am not generalizing- compared to first world countries.
Well, I suppose to be really strict and stick to a really healthy lifestyle adds additional cost and time. I agree that most of the fatty ones makes one full and sometimes it tastes good and more palatable. However, what I am trying to point out here is that fresh is best isn’t? That to lead a healthier lifestyle is eating sensibly- knowing what is good to eat or not.
