No-one has really told me as such, but I’m sure I reek of garlic. My friends I think are sick of me recommending garlic as a remedy for any health problem. Got a cold? Have some garlic. Sore throat? Lots of garlic. Cold sore? Garlic! Lacking energy? Eat garlic! I have friends who go to […]

I love red cabbage. I have German origins so red cabbage cooked the traditional way is one of my favorite foods! Its very warming and comforting and one of the best side dishes to accompany a roast. However it is a bit of an acquired taste due to the vinegar and sugar in the dish! A […]

I love smoothies. But I wouldn’t buy one. Why? Because I don’t know what they put in them. And I’m afraid if I ask, they’ll put all sorts of things in! So I prefer to make my own. Its cheaper, probably fresher, and I know exactly whats in them.
For a while, that was breakfast for […]

You can do as many crunches as you want, but if you don’t work on decreasing your body fat percentage, you’ll never be able to actually see your abs. This leads to the obvious questions that all six-pack hopefuls (like myself) will ask…

I find it hilarious when I read books or listen to people yakking away in a public place. It seems everyone is aware of the fact that fast food is junk food and that junk food makes you fat. Everyone knows this. Everyone knows that the food your grandparents used to make is more ‘wholesome’ […]

In an earlier article I mentioned that snacking leads to fat - and can lead to obesity. Now, inbetween meals, it is not uncommon to get hungry. In fact, around every 2-3 hours your body starts crying out for food. SO what do you do when the craving gets impossible to ignore?
First of all, have […]

I don’t really like sugar. Let me rephrase that - I like sugar, I like eating sugar, but I don’t really like the effects sugar has on my body. Oh I sound like a health nut. I guess I am…
Anyway - I like experimenting with recipes and substituting different sweeteners in place of sugar. So […]

When people say protein, I think of things like: chicken, beans, tofu (ick!), turkey, fish, meat, eggs, spinach, cheese, cottage cheese - and I’m sure the list goes on. But what is it about these things that make them worthy of the title ‘protein’?
When I simply Google the word, I get this definition:
Any of a […]

When I think of nutrition I think of health. The two words seem to go hand in hand. I was just wondering though - why do we have to pay more for health? Health food shops are so darn expensive… gym memberships cost the earth, bio-fuel is way more expensive than normal - and junk […]
