Food is an act of survival, but it serves a number of other purposes. Besides being indispensable to life, it’s one of the main social and human acts. Adopting a healthy diet isn’t synonymous with tasteless dishes or routine meals. When talking about healthy eating habits, variety should be a rule.
As we don’t always make the best choices, Vanessa Alfaro offers some delicious suggestions so you can cook for your family in a healthy way without removing the unique flavor of your cooking.
