Another point of view in the endeavor to keep your excellent health is the slow food concept. It is known very well that some fast food can be harmful to our health. Despite its practicality and economic values, fast food in some increase should be responsible for many health impairment, like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and heart diseases. These findings are backed up by endless explore and studies, since the amelioration of food processing which is still on the go.
Consuming fast food has become a tradition in this super busy contemporary world. Home cooking becomes a waste of time, impractical and is left to older people who ought to do this while their good old time. At the end of the day people may forget that home cooking is well much more useful to our health. Fortunately there are lots of people who are still concern about the significance of home cooking or slow cooking. Those are the people who concern about the health of their families.
Healthy
Thanks to Carlo Petrini, an Italian, who start the war against fast food in 1986 straight through an club called The Slow Food Movement. As its motto is Clean, Safe and Healthy, his very aim is to re-encourage people to cook at home and serve home made wholesome dishes to their families.
This Slow Food Movement at this moment has become a global club with exact missions in each and every country over the world. One of its missions is to promote wholesome local food of every country using natural food stuff and avoid the usage of preservatives or chemical substances.
I think that most of the families are still do the cooking at home, and dine out once in a while. And I also believe that the incidence of high blood pressure is quite low in these types of families, unless not all of the house members eat at home. The role of a housewife and mother become very important. She is the one that should be able to gain the whole house at the dining table to enjoy homemade wholesome cooking, which she prepared with love and care.
#1 - making ready home made dishes is well not an easy task. It needs the knowledge of wholesome food ingredients and endeavor to buy and pick the ingredients in former markets or directly from the farmer. Here are some directions on how to put in order wholesome food at home as recommended by the Slow Food Movement:
#2 - Set fresh ingredients as first priority. Buy them in former markets or directly from farmers. former markets are the shortest distribution channel of fresh food. Our body needs fresh food ingredients that are just or recently harvested. Vegetables cannot be stored overnight since the stalls are regularly not equipped with freezers to keep them fresh.
#3 - On the other hand, there is a great possibility that vegetables sold in supermarkets has been kept for quite a long time, even for a week. This will decrease the cusine value of the vegetable. This also counts for fresh meat and fish.
#4 - When buying fresh ingredients in former markets you should be aware about the usage of risky and illegal preservatives like formalin and the usage of prohibited food colorings
#5 - Replace the usage of instant spices and mono sodium glutamate (Msg) with the fresh ones like shallots, garlic, onions, celery, ginger, white pepper and sesame oil.
#6 - You can put in order your homemade "instant spices" by icy your blended spices in an ice tray or put it in a food grade plastic bag. You can then use it as needed and keep the rest in the freezer.
Well, I may end that this slow food concept is a good tradition. Enjoying home made cooking, like I do, is well a good contribution to health. The selecting of what to eat and what ingredients are needed is fully at your discretion. Other benefits are that you may save a lot of bucks when cooking at home and at the same time avoid the temptation of bad food outside. Isn't it?
