Well into the month, the summer is in full swing. For some ladies, this means sunshine, sandy beaches, and swimsuits; many find themselves caught up in achieving that elusive summer body. While that cannot be achieved instantly, it can be the first step towards embracing a healthy lifestyle that nourishes both body and soul.
One part of the process is exercise, going to the gym or even doing home workout videos on YouTube but another part of that is a healthy diet. There’s no denying the benefits of breaking a sweat and getting those endorphins flowing but as any fitness enthusiast will tell you, abs are made in the kitchen, not just in the gym and that means embracing a diet that works for you.
Aside from fiber and protein, a well-rounded diet includes carbs. Hence, you cannot skip the grains because it is vital for feeling strong and energized. For those who cannot sacrifice rice, there is the AVA low-carb steam rice cooker that can extract all the rice to its bare nutrients and remove 50% starch, 35% less sugar, and 49% less calories and still lets you enjoy the pleasure of a perfectly cooked bowl of rice.
While rice can certainly be a part of a healthy diet, it’s essential to be mindful of portion sizes and opt for more fruits and veggies. Apart from the rice cooking function, this rice cooker is also handy in steaming vegetables because of its steam cook function. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, and pumpkin are just some veggies that taste better when they’re not overcooked. Plus, steaming vegetables requires minimal added fat or oil, preserving their vibrant color, crisp texture, and natural flavor.
With a trusty kitchen appliance that helps you get the most of your food, dieting has never been easier. While the summer time gets everybody in that headspace to get fit and toned, depriving oneself of food is not the way. It’s also important to know that moderation is key. With much attention to active work out and your food intake; in due time, you can be sipping cocktails by the beach while sporting a flattering bikini.
