General cooking tips

Buy Local Food : With local food you'll get exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen your local economy, support endangered family farms, safeguard your family's health, and protect the environment.

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 glycaemic index diet system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the carbohydrates of the food type gets converted to glucose in your bloodstream. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to consume less food without starving yourself.
It's also extremely good for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in preventing increases in glucose secretion.
