More and more people are overweight, too much
overweight is a not to be underestimated threat to your health and therefore
also to your happiness in life. You may have tried everything in the fight against
that excess fat, but have you ever thought of herbs?
Herbs beat sauce
As a dietitian, I have nothing against a little rice, pasta
or potatoes. Watch your portion and take the whole-grain variant (pasta and
rice) or bake them in the oven in their skin (potatoes). I do have something
against the large amounts of fatty sauce that are used.
Mayonnaise, curry
sauce, cream sauce, etc. you name it. Those are the real fat thinners.
I understand that sometimes you want to add an extra flavor
to your dish: use herbs. Where sauces disguise flavors, herbs reinforce them.
Use basil and oregano with Italian dishes, shredded parsley with potatoes
(instead of greasy meat gravy), rosemary with meat such as steak, shredded mint
with fruit lettuce (instead of vanilla sauce), coriander with Mexican or Indian
dishes, thyme with chicken ... possibilities are endless.
Experiment with it. Herbs as a weapon against obesity, for example, herbs in
water
Herbs win from soda
For some people, it is very simple to give their health a huge
boost and lose a lot of kilos. This only by replacing soft drinks and fruit
juices with water. Get rid of junk and heaps of sugar, hello water!
Unfortunately, some people find water boring. You can, of
course, add pieces of fruit to give it an extra taste (a piece of lime, orange,
some strawberries, berries ...) but you can also make good use of herbs.
Mint, rosemary, thyme, and coriander lend themselves very
well to give your water that little bit extra. Whether or not in com
bination
with vegetables and other flavor enhancers such as fennel, ginger, cucumber,
celery, lemongrass ...

Make sure you always have water with you when you go out. A
water bottle with a fruit filter helps you to have "good" water on
the road. Herbs can also be put in well here.
Herbs strengthen your immune system and provide a lot of
useful vitamins
Herbs are good for your body. They provide a lot of
antioxidants and vitamin C (certainly parsley is a topper in this). In
addition, herbs are also high in fiber and may contain a small number of
certain minerals such as iron. So they contribute to the proper functioning
of your body and good digestion. They are therefore valuable for your health.
For many people, herbs are a stranger in the kitchen, but
once you get to know them a bit and start using them, you often don't want to
be without it. Herb trays are ideal for creating a small vegetable garden
yourself. You have them in all sizes so that they also fit on a windowsill or
on a small terrace.
