Food and cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.


Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).

The low-cal diet

Rather obviously, low calorie diet depends on the fact that if you want to lose weight, it is important to eat fewer calories than your body normally needs.

Definition of a calorie?
A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. A 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body burns it.

Low-cal food types include brussels sprouts, radishes, guava, burgers and steaks, and skimmed milk.
