General tips

A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?

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.

Dieting 101

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet system is reliant on the gi index, a list showing types of food and an indicator of the speed that the glucose in the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to injest less food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also extremely efficient for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in controlling increases in glucose amount.

Drop 600 g raw prawns into boiling water for about 3 minutes or just until they turn pink. Set the saucepan aside and keep the prawns cool in the liquid. Peel a cucumber about 350 g in weight and slice it thinly. Shell the prawns and halve them lengthwise. Arrange, prawns and cucumber decoratively in a serving dish.
