Health Basics

• Eat a large variety of foods. Make sure you incorporate foods from different food groups. Keep fats and oils to a minimum and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.
• Limit the bad foods. Junk foods are best consumed occasionally. Try and avoid consuming large amounts of salt, sugar, and alcohol.
• Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water.
• Get fit. Walk everywhere if you can and have a strenuous exercise session at least three times a week.

To me, pub food is a treat that I indulge in only rarely. Even with the better gastro pub food offered in more expensive bars, you are still sure to ingest a lot of calories, especially from carbs and fat. And as I watch my diet pretty closely, I usually get a bit disheartened at the fact that my entire week has been messed up by a single meal. But if you’re like me and enjoy pub food (and sometimes crave it!), then you’ll be happy to know these few tips to enjoy the pub food you love, at home, with better-for-you alternatives.

Fish and chips
Fries and fried fish are a classic pub fare, especially in British pubs all around the world. The light batter and the golden fries are hard to beat. But have you looked closely at the freezer section of your grocery lately? They have thick and wide-cut fries that are just like those chips at the pub. If you cook them in the oven instead of the fryer, you save a lot of calories. Same goes for the fish: there are some excellent frozen fish in batter, or you can even make your own by using bread crumb and spices, dredging the fish through milk and coating it with the crumbs. Again, use the oven instead of the fryer. This will save you a lot of fat calories, and it will satisfy your craving for this classic.

In today's world consumption of food having high calories has increased because of the busy lifestyle of humans. They are in a hurry to go to workplace, and they will have to consume baked foods and snack, which have high calorific values. It is very difficult to find a healthy diet in this fast world. All food items like meat and vegetables are equally fried and covered with slat. All these have high calorific value and increase blood pressure and cause various diseases. There was no measure for banning the fast food culture and the thing is affecting every one like a chain.
