Food and cooking 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.

Kitchen Tip : Using a pressure cooker saves up to two-thirds of the cooking time, saves energy, and preserves the goodness in your food.

Diet types

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of foods and an indicator of the speed that the glucose in the food gets converted to sugar in your system. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to take in less food without feeling you are missing out.
It's also very good for diabetics, as the low GI foods are helpful in controlling surges in glucose levels.
