30 Minute Vegetarian Meals

In thirty minutes, what are the things you can do? Nothing much, I believe. Although we tend to
do things in a hurry, we sometimes find this amount of time not enough for most of the things
we do on a day to day basis. Do you think that in 30 minutes you can already make your own
healthy and hearty meal? If your answer is no, think again.

There is no good excuse for not eating healthfully when so many dishes can be whipped up in no
time. You’d be surprise how an entrée served in fancy restaurants can be done in your own
kitchen in just 30 minutes; and I am not talking about deliveries.

Did you know???

Chili can do a lot of things for you. It reduces the amount of insulin the body needs to lower
blood sugar levels after a meal by up to about 60%. Also, if you eat a dish loaded with hot chilies
the heat from the capsaicin causes secretions, or in other words sweating and a runny nose, that
help clear the nasal passage. Now you know how to deal with that congestion, huh?

Over the years there have been many different views on the effects that regular chillie
consumption can have on the human body. Just try this next recipe, and tell me what benefit you
got after. Well, aside from the fact that it's delicious and hassle-free.

Not a big avocado fan??

Let me share some juicy facts on why you might want to consider having them on your daily, if
not weekly recipes.

Avocados have been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. It also has certain
compounds are able to seek out pre-cancerous and cancerous oral cancer cells and destroy them
without harming healthy cells. Like olive oil, it is high in oleic acid, which has been shown to
prevent breast cancer in numerous studies. I know what you're thinking, you don't have cancer,
or you don't have it in your family. Okay! Let me give you other reasons. One cup of avocado
contains 23% of the recommended daily value of folate. According to studies, people who eat
diets rich in folate have a much lower incidence of heart disease than those who don't. The
vitamin E, monounsaturated fats, and glutathione in avocado are also great for your heart. Do
you see clearly where I'm getting? If not, all the more reason for you to eat one. Avocados have
more of the carotenoid lutein than any other commonly consumed fruit. Lutein protects against
macular degeneration and cataracts, two disabling age-related eye diseases.
