Food and cooking tips

Try Organic Food : Organically-grown food costs more, but you get what you pay for. It is 2-10 times richer in minerals, contains no pesticides, and tastes better. It is better for you, your planet, and your palate. Wild unhybridized food is what your body was designed for, before our ancestors started messing with Mother Nature. Take it easy with highly hybridized fruits (bananas, seedless anything) and vegetables (carrots, beets, white potatoes).


Buy Organic Foods : There are 12 foods where buying organic makes even more sense than normal.
According to the EWG (Environmental Working Group) the 12 most contaminated foods are:
  • apples
  • bell peppers
  • celery
  • cherries
  • imported grapes
  • nectarines
  • peaches
  • pears
  • potatoes
  • red raspberries
  • spinach
  • strawberries
All tested positive for pesticide residue – even after having been washed! Sweet bell peppers were the vegetable with the most pesticides overall, with 39 pesticides detected on a single sample. Conversely, if you're going to buy conventional, peas, broccoli, onions, pineapples, mangoes, bananas, kiwi and papaya had the lowest occurrence of pesticide residue.


Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however many zone diet followers believe that they really manage to lose a few pounds by following it.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is far more healthy than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone".
Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The main process of the zone system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.
