When it comes to our skin, what we eat is very important. Skin is the biggest organ, and it deserves all the nutrition we can give it. One the most critical elements of skin health is vitamin A, and one of the best sources of this vitamin is low-fat dairy products. As a matter of fact, the health of our skin depends on vitamin A. Low-fat yogurt is high in vitamin A. Other excellent sources of vitamin A include cod liver oil, carrots, leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes and fortified breakfast cereals.

To prevent loss of nutrients in vegetables, it would be advisable to steam or boil vegetables in their juices on a slow fire and the water or cooking liquid should not be drained off. No vegetable should be peeled unless it is so old that the peel is tough and unpalatable. In most root vegetables, the largest amount of mineral is directly under the skin and these are lost if vegetables are peeled. Soaking of vegetables should also be avoided if taste and nutritional value are to be preserved.

Food tastes better when it is properly seasoned to bring out all the flavours. The seasoning of choice was always Salt which we now know is not the best thing to have in excess and healthy eating guidelines suggest that we avoid adding it. So how do we replace that as a flavour enhancer?

Salt in small quantities is necessary for life, you would soon be aware of health problems if you had no salt in your diet, the issue is with the huge quantities that are added to many processed foods to mask poor ingredients. There are many alternatives that can be used to give piquancy to your food. Fresh or dried herbs and spices are the obvious alternatives though I have to say, from a personal point of view, many foods taste just as good without any salt or seasoning. You get the full, natural flavour. Vegetables are one of the foods that can suffer from being salted in cooking. When you have lovely fresh Purple Sprouting Broccoli for example, or new Peas the salt masks the delicate flavours completely and turns them into something quite ordinary.

I got a great frying pan for my wedding that I thought would be one I could use for a very long time. The girl that bought it for me told me that it had a warranty on it, so I thought it would be around for at least ten years. It was not three years into my marriage that the frying pan that should have lasted began to act up. The coating was coming up, and even thought I took good care of it, and everything was sticking. I was disappointed, as you can imagine.

I love baking cakes. Recently, I have starting experimenting with decorating cakes in new ways. I learned something quickly: I can put frosting on a cake just fine, provided it requires no fancy stuff. So, I started using jelly beans on the top of my cakes instead of complicated frosting configurations. I stick them together in patterns or make pictures. They don’t look professional, but they sure look fun. My nieces and nephews all want me to make their birthday cakes this year. However, instead of signing up for birthday baking, I sent the kids’ mother a link to the article where I got the idea. If you want to read the full article, you can go to Ten Additional Uses for Jelly Beans.

Everyone knows the foods to eat that improve health, although how we cook the food can be just as important. With there being so many oils and butter products claiming to be the best, it can be quite difficult to know which ones to use and which ones to avoid.

1. Olive oil
olive oil offers a very distinct flavor with plenty of heart healthy ingredients. The oil is rich in monounsaturated fat, helps to lower cholesterol levels and reduce risk of cancer. It’s also rich in antioxidants and has a very long storage life.

Even though it can be used in cooking, it’s the healthiest when uncooked, such as with a salad or dipping sauce. When you use it with cooking, you should heat it on low to medium temperatures, making sure to avoid high heat.

As a a carnivore who does not believe in the low fat myth – yes. What is great to many about the Atkins diet is the choice of foods. Fats are allowed, and are encouraged at the beginning of the diet. This is intriguing for most, as the no-fat and low-fat mantra has been drilled into our heads our entire lives. It sound great, but it is also a bit scary. Some think that the answer to the question ‘does the Atkins diet work’ is no because of what you can eat, but what they don’t know is that there is a lot of science behind this diet, and it has been around for decades with great success.

There is nothing more relaxing after a long day at work, than a tea cup with my favourite green tea. I also like to have a cup in the morning, before I go to work, so that I can be ready to face the stresses of the day.

I have recently started drinking camomile tea and have found it easier to help me sleep. I do not need any sleeping pills, just a cup of camomile tea will give me a full nights’ sleep.
