Healthy Bite

The groundwork of all happiness is health

~~ James Leigh Hunt, an English critic, essayist, poet and writer

“Healthy” is a word of this century. You hear it almost everyday from who ever you meet & greet. It seems as though everyone is trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

It made me think what exactly it means to me & how can I be one. There are some inevitable things that we can’t control so leaving them behind here are some things I want to follow myself.

1.    Including fruits, Vegies & grains in my diet
2.    Consuming minimum 8 glasses of water
3.    A 1-hour workout daily or 5days a week.
4.    Keeping calm & quiet even when you feel like sharing a piece of your mind with others.

A simple equation can define as

Good food habits + Work out + self-care = Healthy.

Coming to the event it concentrates on recipes, which are healthy & nutritious. The food that has less saturated fat, trans fat & sugars are the least welcome recipes to the event.

1. Vegan & vegetarian recipes only.
2. Post it in your blog and link back the recipe to my event.
3. Use of logo is appreciated.
4. Can link in multiple entries.
5. Event ends on 31 August 2013.
6. For any queries you can just leave a comment on my facebook page Ammaji Recipes or do mail me.
