The benefits of healthy eating are these days being given more publicity than ever before and there are many reasons for doing this. Poor diet is one factor in health conditions such as heart disease and hypertension which can put a drain on the economy. There are more and more campaigns to try to get people to lead a healthier lifestyle and still it is also easier than ever to rely on fast, convenient food that is often bad for our health. In all likelihood, most people believe that it takes a great deal of work to eat healthily and that they will have to drastically change their way of life. It is possible, though, to make some small changes that can start to make a difference to our everyday eating habits.

One initial thing you can do is to pay close attention to the choices you make when you’re at the grocery because you most probably purchase a lot of items out of habit. For example, in all likelihood you have never checked the box of your favorite cereal to find out its sugar content. Having a bowl of oatmeal will provide you with the energy to face the day while protecting your heart simultaneously. Mix in fruits or spices to improve the flavor and now you have a breakfast that can become a normal part of your new healthy eating regimen.

As you can see, it’s easy to begin incorporating healthy eating into your daily lifestyle.

Inspired by my Italian pasta with lentils, this delicious green lentils soup is jazzed up with the addition of ginger, cumin, and coriander. These convenient ground spices are not popular in Italian cuisine, but they work so well with lentils and pack a deliciously warm spicy flavor. Add in lentils, stock, and tomatoes w/ juice; bring to a boil. Discard bay leaves; season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into heated bowls and garnish with reserved bacon.
