If we have lots of time and resources, we all can consistently make healthy and delicious meals. But what if time is short and our refrigerator is less than fully stocked? When we are using the HumanaNatura natural health system and following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate healthy eating model, limited time and ingredients are usually not a problem. Need proof? Check this six-ingredient or “sextet” salad meal!

Our example HumanaNatura salad meal begins with a salmon fillet (#1) that is pan sautéed with sliced red onion (#2) and a few seasonings (garlic bits, Cajun powder, lemon, and black pepper). As the fillet cooks, we make a salad base and veggie mix of arugula (#3), sliced and quartered cucumbers (#4), cut orange pieces (#5), and whole grape tomatoes (#6). When the fish and onions are done, they are added still warm to the salad, everything is garnished with parsley, lemon, and black pepper, and the meal served immediately. Fast, delicious, extra-healthy, and super-easy, as always when we prepare our meals the HumanaNatura way!

Though there is a natural limit to the amount of red meat we should eat to optimize our personal health, this amount is not zero. This is especially true when it comes to lean and sustainable grass-fed meats, and when our meals are made the HumanaNatura way and following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate healthy eating guidelines. In the HumanaNatura approach, regular meals with red meats can be served, ones that will be healthy and satisfy your urge for a hearty meal.

This satisfying, red meat-using salad meal starts with a big bed of arugula and adds julienne cucumber, diced kiwi, and mixed cherry tomatoes. It adds a sauté of cubed beef and red onion, cooked while preparing the salad base and mix. And it then is garnished with parsley, marjoram, coriander, and red and black pepper. A fast, delicious, and healthy way to satisfy a big appetite…as always, when you prepare your meals the HumanaNatura way!

Whether it is summer and you are by the sea, or not, this salad meal – made the HumanaNatura way and using HumanaNatura’s OurPlate guidelines – will make you feel like you are on a seaside holiday. And not only does the salad provide a burst of summer flavors, it is especially healthy too, because of the specific fish used for the salad’s protein.  While most fish is lean and healthy, this time we have selected shellfish from low in the marine food chain – shrimp, scallops, and baby squid – to avoid the high levels of mercury and other toxins often  found in large game fish. Using these seafoods also reduces costs, since these varieties of fish are often fairly inexpensive to harvest, and freeze and travel well.

Maybe best of all, especially if you are on summer holiday, this extra delicious and healthy salad meal was made in minutes and is about as tasty as food can get. It begins with a spicy saute of the shellfish we mentioned with a good dash of turmeric, onion and garlic bits, and black pepper. While the saute is cooking, we put together a salad base and mix that included a half-plate of arugula, diced cucumber, sliced mango and avocado, and quartered grape tomatoes. These warm and cool foods were then garnished with pistachios, parsley, paprika, coriander, and black pepper. A terrific meeting of sea and shore, and a model for optimal daily eating!

Whether you are new to HumanaNatura’s OurPlate natural eating model or not, a crucial practice to ensure natural and optimal modern nutrition is guarding against what I will call carbo creep.

Carbo creep is easily defined and understood. And with attentiveness, it can be readily observed and steadily prevented, or cured, in our lives. As the name implies, carbo creep is the unwanted, often slow, and sometimes unconscious re-introduction of unnatural carbohydrate-dense foods (all other than fresh fruits) into our daily diet.

Full-sized

As you can see in my graphic, such carbohydrate-rich foods are not part of the HumanaNatura’s science-based OurPlate approach, just as they were not a principal part of our diet during most of our natural history and development, when we were primarily a hunting and gathering species.

You can learn more about why these foods are not part of OurPlate, and their generally harmful effects on our native physiology, via the Natural Eating section of HumanaNatura’s Personal Health Program.

Natural Eating In – A Nutshell

To quickly recap this fairly large body of information, let me make three points. The first is that our long-evolved human diet is based on raw vegetables, lean animal meats and tree nuts, and fresh fruits and berries. While this idea was once controversial, likely you appreciate that it is now increasingly settled science.

In the time is takes to be super-sized at your local fast-food restaurant (or to read this post), you can enjoy a delicious and optimally healthy meal, if you understand how to quickly make healthy salad meals the HumanaNatura way and following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate eating guidelines. All it really takes is some familiarity with the approach, a bit a planning ahead, and your creativity and appetite!

This delicious salad meal came together in under two minutes and is as satisfying as it is healthy. It starts with a base of arugula, adds a handful each of pre-packaged shredded cabbage and carrots, a few grape tomatoes, and a protein via some large pre-cooked shrimp that were marinating in the fridge in a mix of bruschetta sauce and the last of a mango-pineapple salsa we had at hand. It’s all topped with a light drizzle of a ginger-sesame vinaigrette dressing. Lots of flavors in every bite and as easy to eat as it was to make.
