This is a link to an article from Everyday Health. We only have a couple of the gadgets mentioned:
Smaller dishes equal smaller portions, less calories. We have smaller plates.
Lemon squeezer, we have this. I love to squeeze lemons and freeze the juice.
Citrus Zester. This is like a grater for your citrus peels. The grated peels can be used for adding flavor to your meals in a way with less calories than oils, and less negative effect than salt.
Vegetable steamer: Steaming is a healthy way to cook food without added fats.
Slow Cooker: This is another tool we have. Slow cooking helps to cook meets in their own juisces rather than adding calories or fat. It is also a simple way to cook healthy food.
Oil Mister: Spraying on oil to avoid over using oil is a good idea.
Kitchen scale: Portion control cannot really be don without a scale, and is so important for portion control.
Immersion Blender: I would really like one of these. This is a whipper/ beater you can put in your drink.
Salad spinner: A spinner can make salad making easier, and consequently more likely. Also a dry salad holds dressing better so you can use less.
All good ideas. I would really like a citrus zester next.
Health Is Vital
Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.
