8. Cook Thoughtfully

Thoughtful preparation of fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry and fish plays an important role in good nutrition. Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking methods, particularly for vegetables, as it removes the least amount of nutrients. Poaching and baking are ideal for meat, poultry and fish, and very little fat (re: oils, butters) should be used in all cooking preparations. If you want to prepare healthier versions of your favorite comfort foods, invest in a good air fryer so you can slash the fat calories way down, without losing out on flavor.
