With the start of the new year comes the time most people start setting goals for in a lot of areas, most especially health. Most health goals I have heard of almost always involve losing weight and becoming fit or staying fit. I have rarely come across any one whose new year goals involved gaining weight :-) From personal experience what I have learned is that the easiest way to lose weight is a combination of healthy diet and regular exercise. Healthy diet means inclusion of right amount of protein, grains,healthy fiber, vegetables and fruits in one's diet. This is not really very difficult, it just involves a lifestyle change, in the sense one has to learn to incorporate better eating habits,make healthier substitutions where possible, reduce the consumption of processed flours, sugars etc, include more grains like oats and wheat etc etc. Most of you might have heard these points several times so I will not go into it at length here.

But making lifestyle changes is easier said than done, knowing what to eat and knowing how to use the above mentioned healthy ingredients in our day to day cooking in a way that is appealing not only to us but to our entire family can present a challenge at times. I have often found that eating healthy is so much easier when you are inspired to make healthy dishes. And what can be more inspiring than a collection of healthy recipes in one place. That is the thought behind my first event on this site called " Healthy Inspirations"



For this edition of the Healthy Inspirations event, I chose the topic of soups.Healthy soups are very diet friendly and can be a great tool in aiding weight loss or in maintaining good health. Soups are simple to make, even those just learning to cook can make them easily. They are also a great way to include healthy vegetables, protein, grains or all of the three into our diet.

I invite all my readers, both bloggers and non- bloggers, to participate in this event and am hoping to see a lot of healthy and inspired soup recipes here which can help all of us to achieve our health goals.
