Before you jump to Masoor Dahl (Red Lentil Curry) with Rice recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Healthy Eating Doesn’t Have To Be Difficult.

Deciding to eat healthily provides many benefits and is becoming a more popular way of life. The overall economy is affected by the number of people who are suffering from health conditions such as high blood pressure, which is directly linked to poor eating habits. Even though we’re constantly being advised to stick with healthy eating habits, it is also easier than ever to rely on fast food and other convenience items that are not beneficial for us. Most people typically think that healthy diets require a lot of work and will significantly change the way they live and eat. It is possible, however, to make several small changes that can start to make a difference to our everyday eating habits.

You can get results without needing to remove foods from your diet or make huge changes immediately. Even more crucial than entirely altering your diet is simply substituting healthy eating choices whenever possible. Sooner or later, you will see that you actually prefer to eat healthy foods after you have eaten that way for some time. As with many other habits, change happens over a period of time and as soon as a new way of eating becomes part of who you are, you are not going to feel the need to revert to your old diet.

Thus, it should be quite obvious that it’s not at all hard to add healthy eating to your life.

You could just use a curry powder if you want. Proportion to taste. I used a curry powder (big pile on white cutting board) in the below photo along with some other spices.
