Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a nutritious and balanced diet and get a proper amount of exercise. The is that, at the end of the day, we don’t always have enough time or energy required for a healthy lifestyle. When our work day is finished, most people do not prefer to go to the gym. We want a delicious, greasy burger, not an equally delightful salad (unless we’re vegetarians). You should be thankful to learn that getting healthy doesn’t always have to be super hard work. With training you can get all of the nutritional requirements and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some basic ways to get healthy.

Drink water, not alternative beverages. Having a soda or a cup of coffee every now and then isn’t a terrible idea. Getting most of your hydration from them is a awful idea. When you decide on water over other beverages you are helping your body remain very healthful and hydrated. You’re also cutting hundreds of calories away from your diet— without having to deal with terrible tasting diet food. Water is often one of the keys to successful weight-loss and healthfulness.

There are lots of things you can do to become healthy. An expensive gym membership and very restrictive diets are not the only way to do it. Little things, when done every day, can do a great deal to enable you to get healthy and lose pounds. Being intelligent when you choose your food and routines is where it begins. Getting as much physical exercise as possible is another factor. Don’t overlook that health isn’t only about simply how much you weigh. You need to help to make your body as strong you can make it.

  3. In a bowl, proportion your spices to taste and set aside. I usually lead with turmeric and cumin as 11/2tsp ea followed by the rest at 1/4 to 1/2 tsp ea. You could just use a curry powder if you want. Proportion to taste. I used a curry powder (big pile on white cutting board) in the below photo along with some other spices. I did use a measuring spoon because it makes cool little piles)
  4. Heat ghee or oil in a pot then saute the onion until brown over medium high heat

  10. Chop the coriander then add to the pot. Reserve some leaves to add to each serving. Below photo was taken before I added some coriander to my bowl
  11. You can do the same thing with chickpeas (channa dahl) just follow direction for preparing/cooking dried chickpeas or use canned version. I prefer the dried pulses.
  12. You can also omit the pulse and just add chicken and potato to make a chicken curry dish. I guess that is another receipe…lol
