General cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.


Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.

Weight loss

A low calorie weight loss regime

Put simply, the low calorie diet depends on the fact that in order to get rid of some fat, the most important step is to take in less calories than you need.

Definition of a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food type contains more calories, then it will provide your body with a larger amount of energy when it is converted.

Low calorie foods include green beans, swede, grapefruit, steaks, burgers and chilis, and bamboo shoots.
