Ready meals are those meals which apparently brings ease in your life. But there are somethings you need to think deep down about them. Just like ready meals, which brings some relief to our lives, no cooking, no washing, nothing just eating.

People prefer to buy ready meals but are they healthy enough? This question should bother each one us who eat ready meals.

Following are seven reasons one should say a big No to ready meals.

1. The provided portions are smaller.

This industry is humungous one and the economical scale is a tremendous one. Tons of ingredients including chicken, kebab etc. are processed and then assemble together to be stored in big quantity. But what you must be bothered about is that the quantity given to the people who waste their money on their product is very less.

The only thing that would console you is that less intake of additives and preservatives in body,

The less amount of food will not fulfill your huger requirements and you will end up with getting hungry again. It concludes that more waste of money.

2. Too much amount of salt is used.

Salt is mineral and a very important ingredient in food. It brings an amazing taste in food. But too much use of salt is dangerous as well. Ready meals use a lot of salt in their meals.

Apart from that excessive amount of salt is used because the food is frozen and is moved from thousands of miles because of which it tends to lose their taste, and the best way to maintain its taste is to add salt in them as salt is a cheap spice.

Too much of salt intake has some draw backs, because it is unhealthier and causes high blood pressure, heartdisease, osteoporosis, kidney stones, and there may be a link to stomach cancer as well. Food manufacturers exploit the customers by giving wrong information.

3.Excessive amount of chemicals are used.

There are a lot of ingredients used in read meals which in actual are chemicals.

Following are some of the chemicals often mentioned on the labels.

• Artificial flavor
• Maltodextrin
• Mono and diglycerides
• Glycerin
• Sucralose
• Chromium amino acid chelate
• Sodium caseinate
• Dipotassium phosphate

Any of these do not even sound like food products. The question arises that why to use these chemicals rather than real nourishments.

4. Artificial minerals and vitamins are used.

There are a lot of fake vitamins and minerals used in ready meals, the manufacturersmislead us with wrong information. They inform us to use processed food which means real one but the food is not real but fake vitamins are used.  Synthetic vitamins and mineral are not good for human health because we will have problem in digesting them and this may contain chemical compounds which cannot be digested by humans. Things that are not natural are good for anyone thatis why one should prefer homme cooked fresh food.

5. Excessive amount of vegetable oil is used.

Vegetable oils are extracted from canola, sunflower, corn etc. that holds some fatty acids which are surely dangerous for human body. Vegetable oil causes heat disease and inflammation. One of these companies use olive or coconut oil which is very rare because it is expensive.

These vegetable oils are operatedin highly toxic. To cut the long story on short ready meals are preferred because of the laziness or it happens occasionally, ready meals should not be eaten much often.

6. Every ingredient is at risk.

The ready meals are processed in big quantities for which manufacturers only care about is that their product should be sell as much as it can and people eat it more and more, no matter it is healthy or not. They do not simmer the food, and do not add herbs instead of it apply too much of salt in it to give it some flavor.

7. Ready meals are packed in sugar.

The very well-known organization WHO (world health organization) commends 25 grams of sugar intake daily that is 6 teaspoons, excessive intake of sugar leads to obesity, diabetes and cancer. But these ready meals are all covered in sugar, which is unhealthy.

All of the above are the reasons an individual should avoid buying ready meals, because they are neither healthy nor safe for human body

The post You should try adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet appeared first on Awesome Ideas.

Fruit and vegetables are the foundations of a healthy and sound lifetime. We’re all familiar that minimum three meals a day is needed. But nutritionists keep increasing this number, which led to a new study where they recommend some five to nine servings per day. You thought of that also: Is this a diet or what? But it kind of makes sense since you keep your organism work more during the day, which results in burning more calories than usual when you eat less, and it goes on standby.

The first meal and the most significant one is the breakfast.Try to use home made food mixed with tons of veggies and fruits, spice that all up, and replace the water you’ve been drinking with fruit juice.Spice up the cereal with adding some dried fruits, or blend up your routine crumbled eggs with onions or mushrooms.This will be a cracking beginning for your organism and contribute you the energy needed for the daytime.

Between breakfast and lunch you need to have a morning snack in order to give you the strength till lunch time. You can use some frozen or dried fruits or veggies.

The next stage is the lunch, for what people don’t pay attention to, but is as much as important as the rest, because is somewhat in the middle of the day, and people are constantly in a hurry to receive it and go on with their work afterwards, and that’s how they end up eating junk food or only salads, which is not right at all.Only you can employ your creativity here and try to do something different and include another component in your meal each day, but something healthy.You can begin by replacing those burgers with a veggie one, and all of the meat with soy or mushrooms or other veggies that will bring more life in you andwill freshen you up and prepare you for the rest of the day.

It’s time for the afternoon snacks. But I wasn’t thinking of french fries, or the usual fat-full snacks.You can create yourself a healthy and a vitamin boost snack. Get the frozen fruit from your freezer. You can freeze whatever you wish, or you can try roasting some veggies and serve it with bangers.

The final most important (one of the big former threesome) but not least meal will be the dinner.You can work your imagination and create salads with a mixture of vegetables. Try some sun roast tomatoes, they are a great add-on. As already mentionedvegetables can taste better and are better when roasted instead of boiled. When roasting all of their flavours come in taste, and release their vitamins to infest our organism. Eat more of the veggie pizza, full with mushrooms, tomato sauce and spiced up with wild marjoram. Try mashing potatoes, add some other green and mashed vegetables with that. You’ll become habituated to this mouthful and come to like it yet better that those fat, full foods you’ve been consuming.

And the most loved serving, the dessert as an ending character.The final meal of the day, the last chance of eating some fruits for the daytime. You can always add as much fruit as you want to in some of the fat free cakes, or simply consume frozen or dried fruits.

Although the meals per day differs from men to woman, where men should try to get around 9 meals, and women around 7, the fact that nutritionistsmostly emphasizes is that everyone should try and have 2-3 servings per meal, which will make your organism work like crazy and that unwanted fat will be all burned. But what is important Is that your body will be detoxed. As a steer of the day regarding this paper, I would advise to get yourself a peeler, which will help you deal with the vegetables of fruit skins easier.
