Natural Anti aging Nutrients

How to get the best out of natural anti aging nutrients. Simple ways to prepare delicious meals with tips for losing weight and preserving vitamins for energy.

Our goal is to leave the fry-ups, chips, roasts and thick sauces behind us. We are on a mission to find exciting new tastes and lighter foods that will make us want to continue with Anti Aging in Action as a lifestyle.

Here are a few ideas of mine but as always I urge you to find the bits that you like and build on them. Experiment, try new spices and discover herbs you never used before. Are there veggies in the supermarket that you have never tasted?

Hold up your vision and follow me....

• Steaming: You will find this an excellent method for fish and vegetables. The veggies retain their beautiful colours. An indication for me that the anti aging nutrients are intact too. I use an electric steamer with two baskets. I place the chopped vegetables in the baskets (those that need longer on the bottom) and sprinkle over some fresh or dried herbs. Switch on and I'm free to prepare the fish or meat. After a few times you will know exactly how many minutes different vegetables need. The steamer works well for fish too but I prefer poaching,baking in foil or a cooking bag. I use the juices then as a sauce,mm..
• PoachingThis is ideal for fish or chicken. Use a litte water or stock with wine, herbs, or seasoning to flavour. Do not allow the fluid to boil as this will damage the anti aging nutrients in the food. A very gentle method for fish fillets that ensures soft moist flesh.
• Baking in foil or cooking bag: This is brilliant for whole fish. We love to experiment with seasoning, herbs and lemons and sometimes with the more exotic spices, soy, limes, ginger etc. You will be surprised at the fabulous sauces that are produced totally without fat! Great tip for losing weight! This method can also be used for small pieces of meat or fish with spring onions, peppers, green beans or whatever you fancy.
• Grilling is best for fatty fish if you are trying to lose weight as some of the fat will drain away instead of remaining in the sauce. However don't forget that these are good fats and full of anti aging nutrients. Vegetables like aubergine, courgette and peppers grill well too but will need a light brushing with good olive oil.

Avoid roasting as this involves more fat and higher temperatures. Deep and shallow frying are taboo as the high temperatures damage the nutrients in the food and we don't want the bad fats!

• Stir-Fry:This is the only exception and is very versatile. Food is cut into small or very thin pieces and cooked in a wok in small batches very quickly. It is ok to use a little oil and top up during cooking with water, stock or wine. This method lends itself beautifully to all sorts of experiments with your favourite herbs and spices. You can rustle up something fabulous with what was left in the veggie drawer of the fridge!

Whichever method you choose, do it your way. Take the superfoods, vegetables and fruit you like and look for ways to make them taste even better. Enjoy the food tastes, the herbs and the spices instead of thick sauces. If you are entertaining and want to use these methods you can add a little low fat cream to the juices to make the meal a little more special.

Above all know that these little changes are preserving vitamins for energy and anti aging nutrients for a healthy body, dewy skin and a totally new shape!

You will smile back into the mirror and wonder why you didn't do this years ago!
