Cooking tips

Buy Seasonal Food : Food in season is the best you can buy. 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.

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?

Diet types

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, although some people believe that they really lose a few pounds when following it.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a balanced state that is a lot more healthy than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The key method of the zone system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 fish oils.
