General tips

Microwave Tip : Use your microwave as often as possible in the summer. You'll be more comfortable and save on air conditioning costs.


Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.


Weight loss info

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system primarily created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans claim that they lose weight when following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthy than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat.
The key procedure of the system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.
