INTRODUCTION

If you want to lead a healthy lifestyle, you must eat well. Besides physical activity and rest, a nutritious, well-balanced diet is imperative for good health. Foods fuel our bodily processes. Therefore, when we eat the required carbohydrates, high quality protein, healthy fats, vitamins, mineral and water, we are loading our body with the right nutrients, as well as taking necessary steps to leading a long, healthy, active, strong and youthful life.

Healthy eating entails consuming nutrient-packed foods and minimizing processed foods, high sugary foods, high sodium foods, as well as saturated fats and alcohol. The nutrients in the food we eat protect our cells from damage, carry out cellular repairs and promote a healthy immune function. It also helps to maintain a healthy weight, prevent chronic diseases and promote overall health. Once we are committed to healthy eating, the body can effectively maintain its day-to-day function.

However, as important as healthy eating is, many people still find it hard to commit to. The primary reason for this is time. It takes time to go shopping for a range of ingredients and then get home to face the stress of cooking nutritious meals. Agreed, grocery shopping can be a struggle. It can be time-consuming. But if we must eat healthy to be healthy, we must learn how to manage our time. For one thing, you do not need a myriad of ingredients to cook good food.  With a few ingredients, you can take the stress out of cooking, save time and money, and also enjoy tremendous health benefits. Thankfully, the recipes in this book are made with just 5 ingredients or less, to enable you to prepare wholesome and nutritious meals, quickly and easily.

Another proven way to do this is by pressure cooking. Pressure cooking is healthy cooking. Pressure cookers, with their high heat temperature cooking and extra speed, preserve natural nutrients and vitamins. They help retain the favors and colors of our foods and produce healthy foods every time. We owe a lot to this fast and easy technology, which makes use of a few buttons to cook an entire meal in just a few steps. Since it uses more heat, meals are prepared speedily, saving us energy cost and time, which is so crucial to us.

Besides, many pressure cookers are intelligent multi-cookers. Just one good electric pressure cooker can do the work of a slow cooker, a steamer, a rice cooker, and a yoghurt maker. Additionally, you do not necessarily need a sauté pan or even a stockpot warmer. Sophisticated electric pressure cookers will sauté, braise, deglaze, stew and slow cook a lot faster than conventional cooking equipment. 

Therefore, once you have your pressure cooker and you’ve stocked your pantry with a few essential ingredients, you can prepare healthy and delicious meals that are low carb, gluten-free, vegan, paleo, ketogenic, Atkins or Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), depending on your dietary preferences. This is what this cookbook is all about. It is a compilation of healthy home-cooked, flavor-packed breakfast, vegetarian, poultry, beef, pork, seafood, soups and dessert recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts prepared in your pressure cooker with just 5 ingredients or less!

So wake up and whip up a healthy breakfast in your pressure cooker.  There are many recipes to pick from. Enjoy the light and easy-to digest soups and stews, which provide great health benefits. Have fun preparing quick dinners in your pressure cooker by trying the poultry, beef, and pork recipes. These are lean meats, instead of unhealthy fatty cuts, that are combined with a few other ingredients to provide you with delicious taste. Included are also meals cooked with seafood and fish. They are remarkably filled with the required nutrients for your body.  These nutritious meals will help your diet plan so make them a part of your menu at least twice a week.

Healthy eating will be incomplete without green vegetables in your diet. Vegetables are very low-caloric, they aid weight loss and help to maintain good health.
