General tips

Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.


Good food alone cannot make you healthy and happy. You also need sunshine (for vitamin D and strong biorhythms), moderate exercise, relaxation, and love. A daily walk outdoors will give you the first three. Use a water-filter and nontoxic household products (available from us & elsewhere). Get mercury fillings out of your teeth. Avoid drugs and manmade chemicals whenever possible. If your health remains poor, find a doctor who will search for the root causes, not suppress the symptoms with drugs and surgery.

Losing weight

The low-cal diet

Put simply, a low calorie weight loss regime depends on the fact that if you want to reduce weight, the most important step is to injest less calories than your body requires.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a food has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy when your body converts it.

Low calorie foods include broccoli, tomatoes, watermelon, burgers and steaks, and white eggs.
