Good Indulgemces

Surprisingly what's bad for you is actually good for you too.Some of what's seemingly decadent has all sorts of benefits.Even though they may taste sinful. These goodies are actually full of vitamins and antioxidants along with tremendous benefits for your body ,skin and wen hair.Not only are you treating your palate, you're also treating your body. Some lush looking meats are actually very good for you.Salmon is one of those good for you decadent fish.The taste is rich,flavorful with a smooth taste.It is greet steams or grilled, perfect with a squeeze of lemon or even lime.As we all know is its packed with essential Omega 3s , .These stave off certain cancers and even lower cholesterol.Mussels,a staple in Belgian cooking , are great bathed in a white wine sauce.They're low in calories but high in Vitamin B12 and selenium.However since they're basically filters, taking in "dirty" or contaminated sea water and spitting out purified, clean water, caution should be exercised.Contaminants and algae can sometimes be found.Mussels are good steamed in white wine but they're also tasty drenched in a healthy tomato sauce. Sop up the juices and sauce with slices of whole wheat Italian bread. Bison meat may sound like a true indulgence,thanks to it being from an animal not usually known for its meat.It's abetted alternative to the standard burger.It's loaded with zinc and Vitamin B. It's low in calories and fats so you can make yourself a quarter pounder.Emu may sound like the most exotic and the most decadent It actually has Vitamin C?The lean but tasty meat are great for athletes, because of the high concentrate of protein. What about those decadent desserts? Again it's pleasant shock to know that some of the dreamiest creations are actually good for you.Black cherries are a great snack,but also a wonderful component of any dessert.They can literally chew the fat, reducing pounds.They're also good in combatting gout and diabetes along with rheumatism.You can make a Black Forest cake however a healthier treat is a pie.Rolled oats is added to the crust for texture and more benefits.Brown sugar, much more beneficial than refined white kind, is added for sweetness.Serve this with a big scoop of vanilla soy ice cream.Mangoes which would work at any luau are another seemingingly decadent food.Yet, as with any fruit, they are chock full of good stuff.They help the body fight cancer as wells alkalize it.The fruit helps keep cholesterol in check which is perfect for those having trouble with it.Mango is good raw however yup can slice and grill it.Brush it with some margarine and again brown sugar to give it a glaze.Want ice cream?Then try any of the ones made with Greek yogurt,soy or coconut milk.These're taste as good as the real ice cream.Make healthy parfaits or ice cream pies with these.Delicious but not that sinful. If it tastes good ,it may be bad.Yet maybe not.Sometimes the best tasting, most decadent dishes are actually the most healthiest.Indulge.Enjoy.Savor.
