Lavender for nutrition
To be healthy a balanced diet is the first factor that has to be taken into consideration. A healthy body really does start with drinking enough water and eating a healthy diet full of foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals.
We?ve heard it over and over again, ?Eat your fruits and vegetables.? Yet over and over again we grab a processed food bar on our way out the door instead of grabbing an apple or banana. But the truth is, if we could learn to grab fresh fruit or raw vegetables for a snack and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables at meals, we would be much healthier and have more energy. Of course, that is easier said than done, but very much worth the effort.
We would have so much energy that we wouldn?t have to rely on caffeine to wake us up in the morning. And we wouldn?t be drawn to sugar for an energy boost throughout the day.
Recent dietary research has uncovered 14 different nutrient-dense foods, called superfoods that time and again promote good overall health. These include soy, berries, beans, nuts (especially walnuts), broccoli, green tea, oranges, spinach, turkey, whole grains, pumpkin, tomatoes, and oats.
Salmon is also on the list, but if you have asthma, salmon and all deep sea fish are off limits. These fish have a chemical in them called histamine which helps them survive in the cold waters of the deep but causes allergic reactions in many people, especially those with asthma.
A diet that is full of these items will help keep your system strong enough to fight diseases such as cancer. A health diet also helps hair, skin and teeth stay attractive and healthy, too.
There are many physical problems whose symptoms can be greatly reduced by eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. Asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, circulatory diseases, and more can all be helped by including a large amount of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet.
If you or your family is feeling stressed, red meat can actually help calm everyone?s nerves. At the same time, stay away from caffeine, alcohol, and sugary foods. Stimulants and depressants like these can both zap your energy and rob you of the fuel you need to successfully cope with tension.
Conclusion
It?s amazing how eating right can rid our bodies of so much sickness and disease. Following a healthy diet routine and using healthy recipes will give you the chance of enjoying a strong body for the rest of your life.

Healthy Cooking
For a healthier lifestyle, you may want change what you cook as well as how you cook. Depending on the method you choose, you may be depleting the nutrients out of your food. You could be preparing a meal with the right nutritious ingredients but after you are done cooking, you may end up with a dish that has no nutritional value.
When heat is applied, many vitamins and minerals are burnt away. The higher the temperature and the longer you cook it, the fewer nutrients you will have in your meal. It is important then not to overcook your meals, try to cook your meals in the shortest time possible and with the minimum amount of water possible. However, dry cooking methods such as roasting and baking are perhaps the worst method, as they require a longer cooking time. Microwaving, frying, boiling and saut�ing are some of the methods that you need to consider before you cook. Steaming and stir-frying are better choices, as they will allow the natural nutrition to remain in your food.

In fact, look at the disclaimers of any fad diet, special weight loss pill, or fat reducing fruit nectar and you'll see where, in addition to the "unbelievable benefits" of their product, the practice of proper nutrition and consistent aerobic exercise are highly recommended to achieve optimal healthy weight loss results.
In other words, these companies are telling you that eating right and the incorporation of moderate aerobic exercise have more to do with the overall outcome of the healthy weight loss plan than does their "miracle pill".
