Healthy Foods & How You Can Learn to Love Them
It's often said that "if it tastes good, it's probably bad for you". But luckily, this doesn't mean that healthy foods need to taste bad! Here are three foods that are good for you, and how you can learn to love them.
If you cook spinach for too long, it can become too soft and slimy. When adding spinach to a cooked dish, try adding it in at the end, just before serving. It will taste fresh and delicious.
You could also try eating raw spinach. Baby spinach is sweet, and tastes great in salads and sandwiches. Plus, raw spinach is full of fiber and vitamins A and C.
Fish is an excellent source of omega-3, which can help protect against heart disease and strokes.
If you're not a big fan of seafood, try starting with foods that don't have a strong “fishy” taste, like shrimp or scallops. And when buying fish, try something with a mild flavor, such as tilapia. Roll pieces of fish in flour, fry them in butter, then serve with fresh lemon juice.
But most importantly, if you’re eating seafood make sure it’s freshly caught!
Most kids hate Brussels sprouts, probably because of their bitter taste and strong smell. But they’re very high in fiber and protein. Try frying fresh Brussels sprouts in olive oil with fresh garlic. And if you still don't like them, try adding some bacon!
Dr. Adam Cunliffe, a nutrition scientist, told Cosmopolitan that when we dislike food it’s “nearly always due to some kind of negative event which is connected to that food.” So if you can try something again with an open mind, you might find that you love it after all!
