Many people started becoming more aware about the benefits of healthy food. Even though, fast food is considered to be tasty, it is not healthy and it can be the reason for many serious and chronic diseases. The modern era has become the number one reason for changing our eating habits. Many people do not have time enough to cook their own meals, so they decide to grab something from the local bakery or local pastry shops. Preparing your own meals is really important, but what is more important is to prepare your food in a way that you will keep all the nutrients from the food in order to provide all the necessary vitamins and minerals to your organism in order to complete the everyday tasks. So called '' slow cooking '' has become really popular as a result of the increased awareness of people of how important healthy food is. Slow cooking is not a new way of cooking or some new method or trend in gastronomy. It is considered to be the right way to prepare food in order to keep all the nutrients needed. Slow cooking refers to preparing meals without destroying the nutrients from the food by frying the food or preparing it in some other way that will make the food useful for our body. Eating raw food comes to be considered as a great way of nourishing your body, but not every food can be consumed raw and not many people feel comfortable eating raw food all the time. So slow cooking is the best way for preparing food. It may seem it takes a lot of your time, but it is worth trying to cook this way because the advantages are limitless. Many recipes could be found related to healthy slow cooking. Many also include a slow cooker in order to prepare them the right way. When the term healthy slow cooking is introduced, the first thing that comes to mind to most people is vegetable soups. Even though, vegetable soups are just one of the kinds of slow cooked meals they are not the only choice. Most of the healthy slow cooker recipes also include different kind of meat such as pork meat, chicken meat, even fish sometimes. It is significant to use healthy ingredients in preparing slow cooked meals, especially more vegetables and fruits and it is essential to avoid frying the food or adding a lot of sodium, fatty acids and so on.
