General tips

Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom. Does this matter, in an age where technology can bring us anything we want to eat, whenever we want it?


Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet followers claim that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following it.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts your body in a balanced state which is far more wholesome than normal, which is known as the zone.
Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't build up fat.
The most valuable process of the zone diet is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
