Anyone for Heart Warming Soup?






Good Wholesome Low Fat Recipes
A number of you have asked do I know of good low fat recipes and the answer is yes.

I have included a recipe below and please feel free to try it out and again I would welcome your comments, the recipe goes down particularly well with children and is a great way of them eating there vegetables so please give it a try.

This recipe is part of my Bespoke Nutrition Manual and can be purchased at the Bespoke Life Shop
 Spiced Lentil and Vegetable Soup (Serves 1, Increase ingredients for more people)

1tsp Vegetable or Olive Oil (Go Olive preferably)
1tsp Mild Curry Paste ( I use Pataks)
1 clove of garlic (Not the bulb) crushed and finely chopped
350ml (12fl oz ) vegetable stock ( I use Swiss Marigold, can buy from Tesco)
1 medium onion (Sliced)
30g (1 1/4oz) dried red lentils 
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
1 small parsnip, peeled and finely chopped
1 small potato, washed and chopped
1 medium stalk celery ( used potato peeler to take the outer layer of celery off) chopped
1tsp tomato puree

Heat oil in the pan, add curry paste and garlic and mix with spoon
Add boiling stock with tomato puree to the pan and stir.
Add all vegetables to the pan, stir and once it comes to the boil turn right down to simmer for 40-50 mins with lid on
Remove lid and puree the contents of the pan with an electric blender, stir and serve with crusty wholemeal bread

*Tip 
By blending only half the contents of the quantity you will get a nice thick soup but it will also be chunky as well.

Nutritional Information is based upon the soup only

Foods And Exercises For A Healthy Heart


A healthy heart is necessary for a healthy life. If you get any heart disease then you will lose a lot in your life. Eating healthy to maintain a healthy heart is an essential thing in life. You have to be careful in choosing your food so that you can avoid any heart disease. Your food should contain less of fat, sodium, calories and have more fibre content.

Meat, butter, cheese, and milk contain more fat and hence they should be taken in fewer quantities. If you take less sodium your blood pressure is reduced to some extent and this helps in avoiding the risks of a heart disease. Problems of the heart come to the persons who are obese. It is essential to reduce the weight to avoid a heart disease. To reduce weight you have to take fewer calories. Foods that contain more fibre content can be taken. Fruits, vegetables, and grains contain more fiber content.

One of the other factors that lead to a heart disease is a sedentary life style. People who have this style of life should do some exercise that aims at strengthening your heart. With the advent of technology based jobs more and more people are working in computers. These people who work in the computer often sit before the computer without doing any physical activity. The only thing that is active is their brain and their fingers! Such people should take frequent breaks to have a little walk which can refresh them to a greater extent. Some people try to relax by sitting before the television. Either you sit before your computer or in front of the TV. This is also a bad habit. If you want to relax try to take a walk outside. Walking is a good exercise for your heart. A brisk walk for about 40 minutes daily will change your life beyond your expectations. Try it.

Cardiovascular or aerobic exercise can also be done to strengthen your heart. Some of the aerobic exercises are bicycling, jogging, jumping rope and skating. These exercises can be done for at least 20 to 30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a week. It is better to have an exercise schedule every alternate day. This habit makes you do your exercises regularly and without getting tired. If you are overweight then it is time to a look at your work schedule and allot some time for exercises. This will help you in the long way to have a healthy heart.

Before entering any fitness regime speak to your Doctor or a fitness professional, if you are new to exercise moderation is the key and slowly increase over a period of time. Doing this will ensure exercise becomes enjoyable and injury free.
