Tested Recipes: Waterless Cooking for Better Meals, Better Health

The answer to better health is exercise and the food we eat. Nutritious, low-fat, low-sodium meals reduce dangerous cholesterol, cut unwanted calories, and retain important minerals, vitamins, and life-giving enzymes. All of our fresh foods have a built-in, natural goodness. But the wonderful, health-giving values you paid dearly for at your grocery store may soon disappear in your kitchen. With old-fashioned conventional cooking methods, fresh vegetables must be peeled, boiled, or steamed, and subjected to the high heat of a microwave, not to mention the use of cooking fats and oils. All of this results in the irreplaceable loss of a large share of the vital minerals, vitamins, and enzymes that we need for better health.

Eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables is sound advice from the American Cancer Society for cancer proofing your diet. Additionally, most experts recommend cutting down on fats and eating healthy amounts of fiber, the same prescription the American Heart Association recommends reducing the risk of heart disease. Maintaining the natural goodness in your foods is the focus of Cooking for a Longer, Healthier Life.
