If organic vegetables and ingredients are not available in your area, make sure to wash your vegetables thoroughly before using them to get rid of chemical residues.- Cut down on salt. This can be one of the important tips in cooking healthy meals. You can also increase or add more herbs to your recipe as an alternative to salt and you will be surprised that it does not show any change in flavor.- Increase vegetables into your diet.

Eat in variety as you can never get most of the nutrients you want in just a single vegetable or fruit.- Avoid fats as possible. Go for more fibrous foods. If you can't totally avoid fats, go for the unsaturated ones. If you need to use oil, use olive oil or canola oil as these are the healthier forms of oils. Check labels of processed foods as well. These are places where saturated fats may be hiding.- Find alternatives. If you do not want to put meat on your cooking, you can also find alternatives to meat. Among the healthy alternatives to meat are soy protein, or TVP, also known as textured vegetable protein.
