3 Easy Ways to Eat Healthy Vegetables

Nowadays more people are becoming conscious of their health and the reason for such thinking is all around us; junk food. The amount of junk food consumption has increased among the people causing obesity and food related complications on the rise. The unhealthy diet had to be stopped or reduced; hence people are searching for a healthier diet to get back in shape and fit. By increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits while reducing junk foods can help in containing the obesity in the population.


Since we are now totally used to this new world of junk food and obesity, it is difficult for some of us to change our diet pattern and start eating veggies and fruits instead of junk food. There is a myth that healthy food can only be consumed raw and does not taste good, but it is totally wrong. Fruits and veggies are one of the tastiest gifts from the nature. The use of chemicals to grow fruits and veggies has already encouraged people to consider shifting to healthier food habits.

Hydroponic vegetables and fruits are grown in a hydroponic greenhouse in a soil less environment with the use of a nutrient solution. Hydroponic farming has instilled the lost trust of consumers by providing them with chemical free and healthy fruits and veggies.

Moving on to the consumption part, here are some tips and tricks to inculcate more fruits and veggies on your diet plan to keep you healthy;

  • Smoothie: Fruits and veggies taste best when blended to a tasty smoothie. Smoothies can be customized according to our taste buds and still not lose their healthy benefits. We can make smoothies with milk, yogurt or just raw fruits or vegetables. By mixing multiple fruits and vegetables in a smoothie, we will increase the nutrients level and taste in the fusion drink. Create a new flavor each time you make a drink and surprise your taste buds.
  • Dinner time dessert: Breakfast and lunch are usually taken in a hurry by us. The only time we can sit and eat peacefully during our hectic daily schedule is dinner. Pop in some veggies or fruits every time after lunch. Mix some of them and season with salt and pepper to have it as a salad.
  • Snack on healthy: Buy a banana instead of a packet of chips to snack on next time. Keep following up with different fruits and veggies till it becomes a practice.

‘hydro’ meaning water and ‘ponos’ meaning labor. Plants are grown hydroponically inside a climate controlled greenhouse facility protecting plants from pests and bad weather. Hydroponics cultivation uses almost 90% less water than traditional farming, making this a highly eco-friendly method of farming. Some of the best hydroponics in India produce hydroponic peppers , strawberries, tomatoes and much more. Hydroponics is a simple and practical way to grow plants that require less space. We can set up hydroponics in our own balcony or terrace with little or no investment required. The benefits of hydroponic gardening include a pest and pesticide free produce (less chances of having a pest and minimal Pesticide) and water saving capabilities. It has also been proven that growing plants hydroponically has faster growth rate than growing them in soil.

Hydroponic Nutrients: The Basics

Image
With conventional farming consuming a lot more time and efforts of the farmer, hydroponic farming has become one of the latest, more feasible way of growing vegetables. Who would have ever imagined farming without soil being involved? But hydroponic technique does the same, in a shorter span of time with the plant growing directly as its roots are immersed in the nutrient filled solution, allowing it to absorb. Hydroponic vegetables are usually grown in Greenhouses, in a completely controlled atmosphere. They take up just as much as one-fifth of the land and space required in traditional farming and there is no worrying about the soil strength or the appropriate vegetating sessions because the outside temperature plays no role in the growth of the veggie. There is an abundance of nutrients to choose from, for the better quality of your veggies. The nutrients/fertilizers used in hydroponic systems are available in both liquid and dry forms and in both organic and synthetic types

Hydroponic Nutrients: What You Need To Know

Image
Traditionally plants obtain their nutrition from the soil. But in hydroponic farming, these nutrients are supplied to the plant through nutrient-rich solutions that are soluble in water. These nutrients are the essence of hydroponic farming. Since all of the plant's nutrition has to be derived from a solution, it is best for the beginners to use a pre-mixed solution which is readily available in the market. This way you are least likely to go wrong with your practice. However, it does not mean that the required solutions for your plant cannot be created at home or on your farm. This would just require some practice and knowledge about the plant you intend to grow. You can choose from a variety of solutions that are available in the different price range. The choice of the nutrients also varies with formulations – synthetic/ refined minerals and organic based nutrients. Both kinds of hydroponic solutions are equally effective in their roles but since people across the globe a
