Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a naturally healthy and balanced diet and get a proper workout regularly. Unfortunately, we do not always have the time or the energy that this type of lifestyle requires. When our work day is finished, most people do not prefer to go to the gym. A hot, grease laden burger is usually our food of choice and not a crunchy green salad (unless we are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy choices doesn’t have to be a pain. With training you can get all of the nutrients and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some ideas to be as healthy as possible.

Water is the most effective drinks out there. Having a soda or cup of coffee once in awhile won't hurt you too badly. It is definitely, however, a bad idea to exclusively drink soda or coffee. When you pick out water over other beverages you are helping your body remain very healthy and hydrated. This also helps you decrease your caloric intake by hundreds of points without having to buy and eat terrible diet foods. Effective weight loss efforts often depend exclusively on water ingestion.

There are all sorts of things that you can do to get healthy. Extensive gym visits and directly defined diets are not always the answer. It is the little things you choose day after day that really help you with weight loss and getting healthy. Being smart about the choices you make each day is a start. Getting as much physical exercise as possible is another factor. Don't overlook that health isn't only about just how much you weigh. You need to make your body as strong it can be.

Steps to make Apple-Pecan Upside-Down Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degree celsius or 350 fahrenheit. In a skillet over medium heat, add pecans. Toast the pecans until aromatic. Remove from heat and transfer into a mortar..
2. Using a pestle, pound the pecans into fine coarse bits. Transfer into a large bowl and set aside. In the same skillet, without any heat, add in 30g of butter. The butter will start to melt as you are preparing the apples..
3. Peel and core the apples. *I didn't follow what Claire did. She used a melon baller to core out the seeds and stems. I, however, used an apple corer. You of cos, can choose whichever method as desired.* Slice the apples into halves. Place them immediately, cut side down on the skillet. *The apples will oxidize fast, especially on the cored and cut sides. Do it this way will slow down the oxidization.*.
4. You may need 3 or 4 apples, depending on the size of your apples and skillet. Once all the apples are prepped, turn the heat up to medium. Cook until the bottom is golden brown. *You may have to rotate the skillet to allow even browning.*.
5. Once bottom is golden brown, flip. Add in 2 TBSP of calvados and let it flambe. *Be very careful will doing this.* Once bottom is lightly browned, remove from heat and set side on a plate lined with kitchen paper or wire cooling rack, cut side up..
6. Retain any leftover liquid in the skillet. With that same skillet over medium heat, add in 50g of light muscovado sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Cook until the sugar caramelized..
7. Remove from heat and set aside. Add flour, salt, baking soda and powder into the same bowl as the pecans. Mix to combine well. Set aside..
8. In another large bowl, add the remaining butter, light muscovado sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and demerara sugar. Cream butter until light and fluffy with a hand or stand mixer. Add in eggs and the remaining 1 TBSP of calvados..
9. Continue whisking until well combine. Continue whisking, alternating between the pecan mixture and yogurt, 1/3 portion at a time, into the butter mixture until everything is fully incorporated. Lay the apples in the skillet with the cooled caramel, cut side down..
10. Spoon the batter over the apples, making sure all the nooks and crannies in between each apples are filled with the batter. Smooth the top surface with an offset spatula. *If your cast iron skillet comes with non-metal handle, wrap the handle with aluminium foil.*.
11. Wack into the oven and bake for 30 to 40 mins or until the top is evenly browned and the center springs back when gently pressed. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 mins. Run along the edges with a sharp knife or an offset spatula..
12. Place a larger serving plate over the skillet. Confidently, flip and unmold the cake. If there are any apples that are stuck on the skillet, remove and pop it back into the cake. If there is any leftover caramel that is also stuck on the skillet, add a splash of water and turn the heat up to medium..
13. Swirl to dissolve the harden caramel. Pour the caramel over the cake. Slice and enjoy. The cake can be kept at room temperature, wrapped tightly with parchment paper, for up to 2 days..
