My food 2 good health

Did you know food
Apples, potatoes, and onions all taste the same when eaten with your nose plugged.

As a child we had a science class in which we were blindfolded, had our noses plugged, and given an apple or onion to eat – we were not told which of the two we would be given. Not one person was able to state which was which. This shows the incredibly important part that the nose plays in the sense of taste. The fact that the three items have a similar consistency makes it virtually impossible to tell them apart without the sense of smell. If you try this, there would be warning: once you unblock your nose, you can tell what you have just eaten.

Myths food
Dried fruits are a healthy snack
Fact: A dried fruit is a fresh fruit with all its water content removed. What’s left? Just fibers and pure fruit sugar which make a dried fruit very high in calories. For example, fresh apricot has 48 calories/100 g, while dried apricot has 240 calories/100 g.
Fat is totally bad for you
Wait a minute: this is true only for the artery-hardening saturated fats, like animal lard! But your body requires 'good fats' for its health. Polyunsaturated fats from sunflower, soya, sesame and corn oils, monounsaturated fats like olive and rapeseed oils and omega 3 fats (essential fatty acids which cannot be synthesized in the body in sufficient levels) from oily fish like pilchards, sardines, salmon and mackerel are crucial for our normal functioning. Do not forget that some vitamins are found only associated with fat, like vitamin A and D, while some hormones are just fats.

Store raisins in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for much longer. Pour very hot water over them if they had hardened, after that drain them immediately, and spread on a paper towel to dry. You can also leave a spoon in the vessel in which the milk is being boiled at low heat so that it does not get burnt at the bottom.

Green Eating

Going for local

Buying seasonal, local food is a boon for the environment for a lot of reasons. Since most food travels many miles to reach your table (1,500 miles, on average), locally sourced food cuts back on the climate-change impacts of transportation. Local food also generally uses less packaging, is fresher and tastier, and comes in more varieties. It also supports small local growers and lets them get more for their produce by not having to spend so much on packing, processing, refrigeration, marketing, and shipping.
