We all understand that, in order to really be healthful, nutritious and balanced diets are important as are good amounts of exercise. Sadly, there isn’t always enough time or energy for us to really do the things we want to do. Working out at the gym isn’t something people make time for when they get off from work. People crave sweets and salts, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). You will be pleased to discover that becoming healthy doesn’t have to be hard. If you are persistent you’ll get all of the activity and appropriate food choices you need. Here are some of the best methods to be healthy and balanced.

Make smart choices when grocery shopping. If you make smart decisions when you are shopping for your groceries, you will be eating better meals by default. Think for a minute: you don’t want to go to a chaotic grocery store or sit in a lengthy line at the drive thru at the end of your day. You want to go to your house and make something from your kitchen. Fill your cabinets with nutritious foods. This way—even if you choose something a little greasy or not as good for you as it could be, you’re still picking foods that are better for you than you would get at the local diner or fast food drive through window.

There are a whole lot of things that contribute to your getting healthy. Extensive gym visits and directly defined diets are not always the answer. You can do little things every day to improve upon your health and lose weight. Being smart about the decisions you make each day is a start. Getting as much exercise as possible is another factor. Remember: being healthful isn’t just about slimming down. You really want your body to be strong too.

The ingredients needed to prepare Chestnut Buns:
  1. Get For the dough
  2. Take 170 grams Bread (strong) flour
  3. Prepare 20 grams Whole wheat flour (cake flour type)
  4. Take 5 grams Roasted wheat germ
  5. You need 5 grams Pure cocoa powder
  6. Provide 15 grams Soft brown sugar
  7. Use 3 grams Salt
  8. Use 3 grams Dry yeast
  9. You need 1/2 of a large egg Egg
  10. Get 80 to 90 ml Milk
  11. Get 10 grams Butter
  12. You need 1 Poppy seeds
  13. You need 1 the egg left over from making the dough Egg for glazing
  14. Get For the paste filling
  15. Take 1 small jar Sweet chestnuts in sugar syrup
  16. Get 200 grams Mashed sweet potatoes
Steps to make Chestnut Buns:
  1. I bought this jar of chestnuts in sugar syrup at a 100 yen shop. It contains 145 g, of which 75 g is solid. There were 10 chestnuts, so I chopped up 4 to mix into the sweet potato paste, and used the rest whole, one per bun.
  2. Make the sweet potato paste filling. Put the mashed sweet potatoes and the chestnuts in syrup in a pan (add the syrup) and simmer to reduce. Add sugar if you like.
  3. Prepare the bread dough. Put all the ingredients from the flour to the salt in the ingredient list in a bowl (keep the salt and yeast apart in the bowl). Warm the milk in the microwave, and pour over the yeast. Start mixing and kneading the dough.
  4. Add the butter halfway through and knead it in. Round the dough off into a smooth ball, cover with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel and plastic wrap, and leave for the 1st rising until doubled in volume.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it. I divided it into 6 portions this time. Cover the dough with a moist kitchen towel again and rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Deflate the dough again, and form into buns with the paste filling. I made round buns first and then kind of made them into chestnut shapes. Place the buns with the seam sides down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Cover again with the moistened kitchen towel and plastic wrap, and leave for the 2nd rising. It's done when it has doubled in volume. Pinch the pointy ends to make the buns more chestnut shaped.
  8. Brush the buns with the remaining egg, and sprinkle on the white poppy seeds. Bake at 180°C for about 13 minutes and they're done!
  9. The buns are about this size.
  10. They look like this in the middle. I used 45 g of paste filling per bun and had some left over, so if you stuff the buns a bit more you should be able to use it all up.
  11. I these are made with dark brown sugar (20 g) instead of light brown sugar. The buns became a little bit darker.
  12. This one is stuffed half and half withChestnut paste and chunky red bean paste.
