How To Improve Your Diet And Health

 You’re probably going to have some good ideas and the best of intentions when it comes to your diet and your health. You’ll want to do well – you’ll know that it’s important. However, it’s not always easy to put your ideas into action. You might find that you start off on the right track, but you easily veer off in another direction, for example. Or maybe you just don’t know where to start because changing your diet and improving it would be such a huge new way of living. Don’t worry; there are some simple things you can do that will help you. Read on to find out more.

Meal Plan

One of the biggest reasons that people’s diet plans don’t work out is that they are busy. They run out of time or get tired, so popping a processed meal into the microwave or calling for takeout is an easier option. Obviously, as well as being easy, it’s unhealthy. 

 

If you can do meal planning, you won’t have this problem. You’ll always know exactly what you are going to eat, you’ll have all the ingredients, and you’ll be able to plan your time accordingly. You could try out new things, like this vegan garlic noodles recipe, or stick with tried and trusted – but healthy – meals. The choice is yours. 

 

Even better, when you have extra time, you can batch cook, and in that case, you’ll only have to warm something up when you are busier. 

 

Choose A Diet

For some people, eating healthily is hard because they don’t really know what they should and should not be eating or when it’s healthy to eat and when it isn’t. If this is your issue, you should choose a diet that will suit your lifestyle and that has been proven to work. Intermittent fasting is a great example of this. 

 

Taking this as an example of what you can do, how do you start? Well, first, you have got to learn how to fast properly, then you can ensure you have the right plan in place. Do your research, and you’ll know exactly what to do and can follow the rules accordingly. 

 

Eat The Rainbow 

Whether you opt for a specific diet or not, a good rule of thumb when it comes to eating well is to ‘eat the rainbow’. This means that you should try to make your meals as naturally colorful as possible. If your plate looks very beige or white, for example, then you know you need to add some bright vegetables to the meal to make it healthier. When you think about it, vegetables are rainbow-colored, and meat, pasta, rice, potatoes, and other ‘sides’ are all one brown/white color. This clearly shows the healthier parts of any meal, and it’s a good guide to help you eat right. 

 

Focus On Hydration 

Although most of the time, you’ll be focusing on the food you eat when you want to improve your diet and get healthier, you must also think about what you’re drinking and ensure that you get enough water during the day. 

 

Being properly hydrated is good for your health since it means your body’s functions are in good working order, and you feel more energized. As well as this, your immune system will be working well. Plus, when you’re dehydrated, you can become confused, irritable, and develop headaches. 

 

Make sure you include plenty of water in your daily life. Ideally, have a reusable bottle with you at all times so you can sip on it through the day and never reach a stage where you are dehydrated.

Getting Into Baking Bread: Some Top Tips

Making your own bread from scratch is a really enjoyable and fun thing to do, and a deeply satisfying one as well. There are few greater joys than filling the home with the smell of freshly baked bread, while creating an amazing loaf that you and your whole family are going to love. A lot of people are intimidated by the idea of making their own bread - you might assume that it’s very hard to do right - but in truth, it’s the kind of thing that is relatively simple to pick up. Here are some top tips on how to do so right.

Start Easy

First off, there are definitely some recipes which are easier than other ones, so it’s a good idea to start off easy and see where you go from there. Some recipes require less prep and are just generally quicker and easier to put together. A good example is this recipe for old fashioned yeast rolls, which you will find to be very easy to achieve, and yet will produce some delicious results every time. You can then progress on from there to more complex breads as your skills and confidence improve over time.

Do It By Hand

Although there are bread machines that you can buy, and these make pretty serviceable bread, you are going to create much more delicious bread by making it by hand. You will find it is more satisfying, too, and you have more control over exactly how it turns out. Plus, you will be learning the actual manual skills necessary to create great bread, and that is a really enjoyable and fun thing to learn on the whole. So do it by hand from the start, and you will develop much better skills in no time that will serve you well.

Use Dried Yeast

There are a few options when it comes to the yeast you use, and different people have different preferences. However, most newcomers to break-making will find that dried fast-action yeast is easily the best option on the whole. This comes in sachets of around 7 grams, which is normally perfect for a single loaf of bread, and all you need to do is add it straight to the bread mix. Old style yeast packets meant you had to activate the yeast first, but that is no longer the case. This kind of yeast is much easier to work with, and quicker too.

Be Patient

Bread-making and baking in general is all about patience. This is a task where there is a direct relation between how much you are able to wait and how delicious the end result turns out to be. So if you are looking for something that allows you to practice your patience, making bread is the thing to do. The longer you leave bread dough to rise, the better the result will be, and the more delicious you will find the bread to be too, so make sure that you're doing that as best as you can.
