Kitchen Gadgets to Aid Healthy Eating
Eating healthy can sometimes feel like a burden. It can be time-consuming and may not taste as good as faster, unhealthier alternatives. Thankfully, there is a huge range of kitchen gadgets that make preparing and cooking healthy foods easy and fun! And best of all, they end up tasting as good as, if not better, the fast food alternatives. We have put together a list with some of our favourites.
Blender/Food Processor
This is a kitchen essential! Blenders are perfect for making healthy smoothies that fruity and vitamin rich to give you the energy that your body demands. A lot of companies now manufacture devices that act as a blender and a food processor. The electric base comes with different components that fits on top, ranging in volume and type of blades so you can blend virtually any food! In fact, there are food processors in the market that come with built-in intuitive AI systems. It helps choose the best setting for the type of food you are blending. And then, there blenders where the top component doubles as a cup. All you have to do is change the lid and you are ready to go!
Hand Blender
This tool is ideal for helping you make healthy and nutritious soups. As well as sauces and dressings. While you can use a normal food processor, sometimes you only need to blend one ingredient, for instance, potatoes. The hand blender allows you to focus on blending specific ingredients. It gives you more control over the texture of your food, as you may only need to blend for a few seconds.
Spiralizer
A spiralizer allows you to do something a bit different with your vegetables. This machine locks the vegetable in place and rotates it, slowly slicing it so that it comes out in long, thin strips. Vegetables in this form make a fantastic alternative to pasta, especially if you are trying to reduce your carbohydrate intake. Try this with your Bolognese instead of spaghetti! The best vegetables to spiralize are butternut squash, courgette, and cabbage.
Slow Cooker
This device is another kitchen essential, particularly if you have a busy lifestyle. You prepare your food the night before and switch the slow cooker on in the morning when you go to work. By the time you come home, your meal will be waiting for you! Slow cookers are great for making nutritious casseroles and stews, as well as cooking meat so it is tender. It is also ideal for cooking in bulk, having the additional benefit of making meals cheaper.
Juicer
This is a healthy alternative to buying juice, which often contains a lot of unhealthy sugars. By juicing the fruits and vegetables yourself at home, you get all of the natural goodness and benefits without harming your body. With some juicers, you don’t even need to peel the fruit or vegetables, as it separates the juice from the pulp.
Air Fryer
This may not sound like a healthy choice, but helps to reduce unwanted substances from your diet. An example of this is oil. The air fryer allows you to fry food such as chips using a fraction of the oil used in a deep fat fryer. This means that your food will be healthier and less harmful to your body.
It may seem like these gadgets only make a small difference. However, over time these investments can be very beneficial for your health. They all make preparing healthy food easier and fun while letting you try new ways of cooking your meals.
If you are eating healthy to aid weight loss, you may still find that some areas of fat are hard to get rid of, for instance in the chin. Fortunately, we have a brand new 360 degree Chin Freeze treatment that can give you the look you want. Fat is sucked into an applicator and frozen, leading to a reduction in fat of up to 40%*!

Been using Vivo clinic for a while and just wanted to mention the level of service provided from Tash is unbelievable. Sometimes its not the product you come back for its the level of service. Tash has always been brilliant and goes the extra mile each time. Credit to the company!
I have been going for treatments with Rosanne in the Belfast clinic for the past couple of years. 5-star treatment every time! Rosanne is very knowledgeable about all the various treatments and great with recommendations tailored to your needs. Would highly recommend.
Tasha was amazing she explained everything and she was very welcoming. She was amazing at what she did and her advice was great. I definitely will be going back here.
I had a radio frequency facial, hifu facial and plasma pen treatment with Cherie. I am thrilled with the results and found the whole experience very relaxing. As a 59 year old woman, my complexion has never looked as good as it does now for a long time. I would definitely recommend the treatments and of course Cherie. I will be returning for more treatments.
Hi
I had Tini as my therapist at the Manchester Vivo clinic she was amazing, she explained the treatment in detail, was thorough and efficient and professional - I would give her 10/10 and highly recommend her - A BIG Thanks to Tini xxx
This was my second treatment. The salon is lovely with a pleasant waiting area. My therapist, Misbah was knowledgeable and professional and put me at ease straight away with her friendly demeanor - I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout. The treatment is slightly uncomfortable but I chose to have the highest setting to get the maximum benefits - you can reduce it to a lower setting if you find it uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend going - try and book with Misbah as she goes the extra mile to make you feel relaxed and pampered.
Again had a treatments with Rosanne, a chin reduction, all I can say a game changer, definitely always take Roseanne recommendations, it makes a great to go to a cosmetologist, that face is not like plastic and recommends non injectables as a treatment , thank you Roseanne 🤩
I just had my last set of fat freezing with Taylor yesterday and as usual a lovely experience, Cherie did my previous sessions and both ladies are so friendly and knowledgeable. For all my sessions I felt comfortable and was put at ease as they answered all my questions. Great experience with both Taylor and Cherie would definitely book again, even for a nice afternoon of chatting with them! 10/10 service xxx
