Cooking tips
Microwave Tip : Use your microwave as often as possible in the summer. You'll be more comfortable and save on air conditioning costs.
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.
Dieting tips
The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss program is reliant on the gi index, a list showing foods and a score representing the speed with which the energy of the food gets converted to sugar in your system. The believe is that slow release types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can take in fewer food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also extremely effective for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in reducing increases in blood glucose levels.
