THE WORLD'S OLDEST AND HEALTHIEST DIET: K.I.S.S. HEALTH PROBLEMS GOOD-BYE - THOU SHALT HONOR THY KITCHEN - INEXPENSIVE 'GOOD-FOR-YOU' GADGETS

And the following are inexpensive 'good-for-you' gadgets:
• Non-stick pans: Their non-stick surface permits you to prepare foods without the addition of fat; when desperate for a 'spritz' of grease to saute onions, mushrooms and the like, use a no-stick spray made from lecithin.;
• A plastic colander: Buy one large enough to stand on its own feet and use it in your microwave to brown chopped beef for meat loaf, chili and spaghetti sauces. It's a neat way to render fat out before combining the meat with other ingredients.
• Oven bags. No muss, no fuss, no added fat when you cook your favorite foods - alone or in combination - in oven bags. Use them in your conventional oven , or in your microwave. Either way, they keep food moist and savory and minimize clean-up time.
• Green plantain leaves: No health-conscious cook should be without this Caribbean touch of cooking wizardry. Fresh plantain leaves (available in most oriental food stores) make possible pseudo-'fried' foods with no fat whatsoever. Wrap small pieces of cubed or sliced potato in the banana leaves, bake until tender and crisp and they'll rival French fries. The same method works well with chicken and fish.
Keeping a healthy kitchen is simplified once you have the proper tools on hand. If you're on a budget, start small and build gradually.
