As we know, the quality of the chocolate is determined by the amount of cocoa solids it contains. Simple chocolates contain 28% cocoa solids and the finest chocolates contain% 70 -% 90.
As the percentage of cocoa solids chocolate higher, so is healthier because it contains a large amount of antioxidants. Chocolate also contains a lot of sugar, but as it contains more cocoa solids it contains less sugar, so taste something bitter - taste very much like chocolate addicts.

Why give up the Soup:
Soup powders contain a lot of calories, fats, chemicals and MSG, strengthens the taste of food but may cause symptoms such as headaches and allergies. Can be used to cook without soup. It is well known that the great chefs refrain from using soup powder, and prefer to spice up food natural ingredients such as spices and herbs that are tastier. The first step should get used to cook dishes like pasta and chicken without soup. To improve the taste add pasta basil (but a lot!). Chicken and meat dishes powder rather unnecessary and instead can use Bhwaiig' soup, baharat or soy sauce, coriander, dill, and the like.

The problem is to give the soup when preparing soup or pea soup, no meat, then feel especially miss leading and strong taste. Instead, you can use onion, garlic, celery, ginger, parsley and a little mint. Tablespoon of brown sugar add flavor stew or soup. If you saute the vegetables in olive oil before adding the water, getting excellent marks, with rich flavor and without chemicals.

Meanwhile, trypsin content decreases, inhibits the absorption of essential nutrients. That sprout in: Soak the beans the night jar filled with water and covered with a paper towel. The next day, rinse the beans and return them to the jar (without water). Rinse the beans twice - three times a day.
Sprouts sprout within two to three days. After sprouting, bean cooking time is shortened.

How to cook rice:
Anyone who tries to eat brown rice and bland taste was shocked invited to try a more delicious way. The first step is selecting rice. Not all rice is also delicious. Rice is considered more tasty round (sold in a very affordable nature) or full-basmati rice - these two types, especially basmati full, successful and very tasty. If you soak the rice in water the night before (that die due effects) and the next fry of onion in olive oil, plus fresh mushrooms, water, salt and pepper, are the most delicious dish and very healthy.
Please note: cooking brown rice takes about 40 minutes.

Bulgur instead:
Whole grains - rice with one full - excellent as a healthy food and diet, because eating them as they encourage bowel. However, if you are not keen on rice but still want to eat whole grains, coarse bulgur try to cook. Cook it like cooking white rice (preferably with lots of fried onions) and spices. Resulting taste more like the taste of white rice (compared with rice).

How to diversify cereal consumption:

 Some olive oil to consume:
Olive oil is considered very healthy oil, but should consume only olive oil (extra virgin or regular or worst - RBD). Extra virgin olive oil made from olives, without the use of chemicals and any processing so it is healthy, and some claim the tastiest too.

Why yes fry in olive oil:
Contrary to popular theory, olive oil actually good for frying, especially if we add a small piece of carrot. Carrots increases the combustion temperature. Oil burning has always throw, because it means that is oxidized and causes more harm than good.

Which oils to use:
All oils are considered less healthy purest including canola oil, too. Oil purification takes many good qualities. Who can switch to cold-pressed oils will contribute greatly to the health. Those who can not stand the taste, can try to use more qualitative purest oils, such as those from the series "olive tree". According to the manufacturer, some of the important nutrients that are lost returned to oil refining processes.

What other sources of fat are recommended:
Highly recommended, of course, healthy olive oil, but not only him, because he does not have all the essential fatty acids. You should consume it every day, and of course avocado and tahini.
You can consume even small amounts of canola oil, which is the lesser evil of the oils.

 Nuts 1: Who is the king:
If you are among lovers of nuts, preferred the walnuts for pecans, because they contain more healthy fatty acids. It is recommended to consume them as cakes or cooked.

16. Nuts 2: how to store and consume:

Western food contains very little of the mineral, even if you eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, low in the ground. Because of the large amount of selenium available in nuts, eat the recommended dose is two nuts a day. You do not want to overdo consumption of nuts, for selenium excess amount may be toxic.

Margarine contains trans-fatty acids, oxidizing and last may clog arteries and some say even cancer. But if you have margarine or can not, you should always prefer the softer margarine. The harder the margarine that process she went through more harmful to the body. Margarines worst are the ones wrapped in paper that are the hardest. Cup margarine softer and therefore less harmful. Margarine "and can", is considered the most healthy, because according to manufacturer's statement is not passed normal cure process. However, we must remember that "and can" may refined oil consumption and therefore should not exaggerate

20. Do not bake with margarine;
You should bake and eat cakes and cookies that may oil based not on the butter or margarine. Many cakes contain vast amounts of margarine (one package is also more
Too) when in fact, the large amount that does not add much flavor, but it also adds extra calories and health. You can choose pre cakes that contain more than a half cup oil or margarine to replace the oil (margarine package worth about a cup of oil). If they cut back on the fat, the taste was not injured, but the number of calories cake contains falling dramatically. Every 100 grams of fat contain more than 800 calories!

21. Goodness of flax seeds:
Flax seeds contain omega 3 are missing in the Western diet, and can be integrated easily on that are pointless. You should not heat them or add them to cook that good materials are torn down.

Its disadvantage is that it breaks down faster cheese contain preservatives, and holding in the refrigerator for about a week only.

23. Bread crumbs, what type is better:
Supermarkets can be found in several types of bread crumbs. Actually more expensive types are also more harmful. On the packaging says they contain hydrogenated oils
(Margarine) and other materials. The simplest type and cheapest contains no fat (unnecessary and unhealthy) and made of bread, no condiments. You can also find a supermarket (not just on Passover) Matzah crumbs that they contain only flour, water and yeast, without the extra fat.

24. Why add oats:
If you have bread crumbs, you can mix them oat bran equal amount (half and half), fry the mixture schnitzel or add patties. Taste of oat bran is not noticeable and is considered Morid cholesterol and encourages bowel.

Very easy to make the dates vacuum or fresh dates for comfortable use: Put them in a food processor (the fresh palm pit) with a little boiling water and mix.



27. How are preserved meat containing water:

Usually fly and India do not add water, but beef, which is more expensive, almost always add. Water added is not so innocent and contain substances such as phosphates, that add health. It is worth noting that some fresh meat sold in supermarkets actually frozen in the past (usually sold these meat pieces vacuum packaging, which says that the meat was
Frozen) and butcher - you should ask the butcher if the meat was frozen past.

Fresh meat, not frozen before, can be identified by the following symbol - interwoven pieces of fat which should be a shade of white - yellowish. Meat was frozen, fat pieces are red. If the pace argues that blood red color, you can ask him to cut some of the meat.
If a red color inside and white, a sign that the meat was frozen and you should stay away from.

Regular), fruit and sweeteners. Perry cut instead and added yogurt contains more vitamins and minerals, fruit yogurt spent in a long time. In addition, yogurt "net" does not contain stabilizers, flavorings and other materials not recommended. Should sweeten yogurt (if
Must), honey, molasses or maple syrup naturally more delicious maple syrup made from sugar and extracts.

30. How to cook corn:

You better choose the chickpeas his second ingredient is tahini and oil (oil used in industry salads are not of the finest quality and in any case grinding is always preferable).

33. Sweetener or sugar;
The chemicals most types of sweetener made them controversial. In general they are safe to use in quantities specified on the packaging, but some say unnecessary chemicals. Teaspoon of sugar contains only 15 calories, so even if you have to sweeten your coffee or tea is better to do it with sugar, in small quantities not expensive calories, but safer from a health standpoint.

34. When not choose 0 percent fat:
As always you should prefer low-fat foods, but rather in dairy products should avoid those that contain less than three percent body fat. Zero percent fat affects absorption of calcium.


35. What most healthy milk:
