On television the word "junk food" appears often but suggestions of healthy nurishment are rare. What is your suggestion ?
Hummous is the best thing on earth. Put a (drained) can of chickpeas into a blender, add 2-3 tablespoons of OLIVE oil, one clove chopped garlic, and blend until pureed, adding water as you go if it gets to thick.
Then you can dip pieces of WHOLEWEAT pitta bread, sliced carrots or celery in it and it tastes fantastic.
Add garam masala, lemon juice, black pepper, and/or coriander leaves to the hummous for extra flavour.
Another good food is basmati rice. It has a lower GI rating so you don’t get hungry right after eating it. Rice is really low in calories, so a meal like chilli or curry that you can eat with rice can be very healthy. To make an easy chilli, chop up your favourite vegetables and fry in a little olive oil. Add chilli powder (or fresh chopped chillies if you’re feeling brave), a can of tomatoes (or fresh chopped tomatoes) and a can of red kidney/chilli beans (look out for the ones that come already in chilli sauce). Simmer for about 15 minutes and serve with a dollop of zero fat sour creme (craime fraiche) or cottage cheese.
To make an easy curry, you could do the same thing but with a balti powder, or to be a bit different, fry the vegetables in a little sunflower oil, add some garam masala powder or korma powder. Fry it until they are really well done, then, keeping the pan on the heat, add enough BOILING water to cover the vegetables. Let it reduce down, then spoon in some zero fat sour creme and stir until you have a smooth creamy sauce. It tastes like it is bad for you, but it’s not!
Also, I don’t believe in ever cutting out a food group. People who don’t eat carbohydrates must be so bored!

It is recommended that adults eat 5 portions of fruit and veg every day. Also, eating seeds such as sunflower and pumpkin as snacks throughout the day are also good.
You want to try to cut down on saturated fats and trans-fatty acids.

eating varied is the best, because your body can´t get nutritioned by eating just one thing.

These are some of the things I normally eat: apples, oranges, mangoes, pears, peaches, bananas, potatoes, broccoli, sweet potatoes, squash, peppers, onions, garlic, kiwi, berries, lean fish, seaweeds, carrots, lean turkey, and rice. Very little pasta and red meat. Maybe once a month. I drink a lot of water and green and white tea. No sugar or sweets but rarely. I do a lot of stir frys and Asian style cooking. Junk is fine in moderation, but it should never be an everyday thing. Health is wealth. I also drnk a lot of kefir and take herbal supplements.

Eating various kinds of food is the best. That way you make sure you get everything you need from the food. Avoid eating much food that is salty, sweet or very fat.

The food that is rich in Protein,vitamins and fibre but poor in fat, that is to say pulses, meat, green leafy vegetables and fruits are healthy. Vegetables that contain high carbohydrate are not healthy such as potato, sweet potato, and other root vegetables. Fried food is not at all healthy.
