Health Note How Can I Cook Healthfully? Here are some helpful tips from the American Heart Association to help you follow a healthful eating plan. Following a meal plan means more than just choosing the right foods, it s also important to find healthier ways to prepare them. Find different cooking methods that use less saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, added sugars and calories, and at the same time, add flavor and nutritional value to your meals. Try some of heart-healthy cooking tips below for healthier and more flavorful meals! What are good ways to cook? Roast: in the oven with a rack so the meat or poultry doesn t sit in its own fat drippings. Set at 350 degrees to avoid searing. Baste with unsweetened liquids like wine, salt-free or low sodium broth, tomato juice or lemon juice. Roasting is also a delicious way to serve seasonal vegetables. Bake: in the oven in covered or uncovered cookware. When you bake, food cooks slowly with gentle heat. This causes the moisture to evaporate slowly and enhances flavor. Braise or Stew: on top of the stove or in the oven with a little bit of liquid (water or broth). After cooking, you can refrig erate the food and remove any fat that has become solid on the top before reheating. Poach: by immersing foods such as skinless chicken, fish, or eggs in simmering liquid. Grill or Broil: on a rack over high heat. Sauté: in a skillet or frying pan over direct heat. Use nonstick vegetable spray or a small amount of canola oil. Stir-fry: in a wok over high heat with a small amount of vegetable oil. Microwave: heat food quickly in a microwave-safe dish. Steam: in a wire basket over simmering water. This can help keep some foods shape and texture better than boiling. How can I cut saturated fat and calories without losing taste? Add fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to your meals. Select lean cuts and trim off any visible fat before cooking. After browning, put ground meat into a strainer lined with paper towels and rinse off excess fat. Choose canned fish packed in water with no added salt or low sodium. Remove oils by draining canned tuna, salmon or sardines and rinsing them in water. Don t overcook vegetables. Steam or bake them instead of boiling so they keep more of their natural f lavors and textures. Compare Nutrition Facts labels to find a tasty salad dressing that is lower in calories, saturated fat, and s odium. Use herbs and spices to add flavor to foods. How can I learn more?

marzo 2016 Nota para Su Salud Cómo puedo cocinar de manera saludable? Aquí le ofrecemos algunas ideas de la Asociación Americana del Corazón que le pueden ayudar a seguir up plan de alimentación más saludable. El seguir up plan de comida es mucho más que simplemente escoger los alimentos adecuados, también es importante encontrar maneras más saludables de prepararlos. Encuentre diferente métodos de cocinar que utilicen menos grasas saturadas, grasas trans, sodio, azúcares agregados y calorías, y que al mismo tiempo, agreguen sabor y valor nutricional a sus alimentos. Para preparar comidas más saludables y ricas en sabor, intente algunas the las ideas para un corazón sano mostradas abajo! Cuáles son buenas maneras de cocinar? Asar: en el horno sobre una rejilla para que la carne o ave de corral no se cocine en la grasa que desprende. Cocine a 350 grados para evitar quemar la comida. Humedezca con líquidos no endulzados como vino, caldo sin sal o bajo en sodio, jugo de tomate o jugo de limón. Las verduras de temporada también quedan deliciosas asadas. Hornear: en el horno en recipientes con o sin tapa. Al hornear, la comida se cocina lentamente con calor suave. De esta manera la humedad se evapora lentamente y realza el sabor. Cocer a fuego lento o guisar: sobre la estufa o en el horno con un poco de líquido (agua o caldo). Después de cocinar puede refrigerar la comida y sacarle la grasa que se haya solidificado arriba antes de recalentarla. Escalfar: sumergiendo los alimentos como pollo sin piel, pescado o huevos en líquido a fuego lento. Asar a la parrilla: sobre una rejilla con alta temperatura. Saltear: en una cacerola pequeña o sartén sobre calor directo. Use spray vegetal antiadherente o una pequeña cantidad de aceite de canola. Freír al estilo chino: en un wok sobre fuego algo con una pequeña cantidad de aceite vegetal. Cocinar al microondas: caliente la comida rápidamente en un recipiente apto para usar en microondas. Cocinar al vapor: en una cesta de alambre sobre agua a fuego lento. Esta técnica puede ser mejor para mantener la forma y textura de los alimentos que al hervirlos. Cómo puedo consumir menos grasas saturadas y calorías sin perder sabor? Agregue frutas, verduras y granos integrales a sus comidas. Elija cortes magros y sáquele la grasa visible antes de cocinar. Después de dorarla, ponga la carne molida en un colador cubierto con toallas de papel y sáquele el exceso de grasa. Elija el pescado enlatado en agua sin sal agregada o con bajo contenido de sodio. Saque el aceite de las latas de atún, salmón o sardinas y enjuague el pescado con agua. No cocine de más las verduras. Cocínelas al vapor o al horno en lugar de hervirlas para que no pierda tanto su sabor ni textura natural. Compare las etiquetas de Datos de nutrición para buscar un aderezo para ensaladas sabroso que tenga menor contenido de calorías, grasas saturadas y sodio. Utilice hierbas y especias para darle sabor a las comidas. Dónde puedo obtener más información?
