The Celery:It is recommended that the leaves of celery should be boiled in water for at least 40 minutes to have a mild taste and the stems are either boiled or eaten as a salad. The common use of celery is that it can be consumed with ice cream, yogurt or just plain. Baked Celery Sticks are a recommended cold food and the stems can be steamed in a steamer with a meat like link or you grind it up in a cheese grinder for a mild brew and then add it to the soup with a meat sauce.
The Potato Starch:This is highly processed starch that is yellow and almost tasteless. ranks the same as white corn in fact it is made from white corn. It goes by many names including polypasto, homogenized, Neap enzymatic, andODYG. The processing method renders this vegetable withUTrients; no vitamins or fiber. Fat and sodium are higher than the white corn. This starchy vegetable can be baked, boiled, steamed, or microwave cooked. The most common form is the Kale or Collard vegetable. Steam it to crisp and do not fry it. You can also just eat it raw with a little vinaigrette
The Berries:Blueberries, Raspberries, Cranberries, Strawberries, Acai and Goji berries are in my opinion the “most” healthy fruit. They have about the same beneficial qualities as the other berries. They are low in sugar, fat and calories and high in fiber. The fiber content acts to also aide in digestion as well protect the immune system and reduce cholesterol. Other healthy fruit include Grapefruit, cantaloupe, watermelon, and guava. Always purchase organic if possible.
Green leafy vegetables:Collard Greens, Kale, Chamomile, Spinach,Turnip Greens and several others. These green, leafy vegetables are packed with plenty of nutrients to ward off cancer and heart disease. They have about the same nutritional value of the other popular fruits and vegetables. They can be eaten raw or cooked. Raw greens order the carbohydrate count to about twenty grams otherwise they are digested too quickly. wilted spinach looks wobbly? Well it does not have to be so since cooking wilts them further. Once cooked, always pour out the water form them. Alternatively, dry cooked greens can be mixed with any food. No matter how the greens were cleaned just sprinkle some olive oil and salt.
Wheat or Whole Grains:These grains are in direct contrast to the others. Grains are complex carbohydrates. Since they contain a great deal of fiber, they take a long time for your body to digest. They are also resistant to being digested in their original form so many people find that they either do not like them, or are not able to eat them. Simply adding wheat or whole grains to your diet can be a great source of fruits and vegetables that are also rich in vitamins and fiber. Food manufacturers have really done a good job of recentizing cereals, grains, and breads to look like they were part of the same product only different. Just because it is packaged or has the word “Enriched” on the box does not make it so.
There are many healthy snacks available in stores these days. However, choosing the correct fruit and vegetable snack is hard. Since some of was healthy and full of fiber, but others are the opposite. Make sure to read labels, and look out for snacks that have a low fat content and are high in fiber. Since so many of us today are wanting to bulk up and lose weight, but still be able to eat the foods that we love.
