Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.

Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.

Weight loss info

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss regime is based on the gi index, a chart showing foods and a score illustrating the speed that the carbs in the food gets transformed to sugar in your blood stream. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie those with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and help you to take in fewer food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also extremely good for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in managing surges in blood glucose secretion.
