That old saying about always eating your greens wasn’t a bunch of hooey. That bit of homespun wisdom was all fact. There’s nothing but truth in a salad. It’s nature’s most honest meal — and one of its most nutritious, too. Consider salads to be a bowl of raw material to run the body.

A single salad a day provides even greater health benefits than previously thought. A recent study by the UCLA School of Public Health examined the salad consumption of more than 17,000 adults and concluded that those who eat salads and raw vegetables have considerably…

Part of Middle Eastern diets for 4,000 years, yoghurt has had a long life – and a historic association with longevity. Yet, despite enduring popularity, there are still those suspicious of adding bacteria to their diets.

Yoghurt is the end product of the bacterial fermentation of milk, made by adding a starter culture of bacteria to pasteurized milk. The bacteria naturally act on the milk’s sugar to create lactic acid, giving yoghurt its thick, creamy texture and tangy flavour.

The bacteria aid digestion while passing through the digestive system within a day or two. It’s also a dairy product…

Fred Flintstones everywhere may be shocked by the use of the word “vegetarian” in the same sentence as “barbecue”, but it’s more than semantics for serious meat eaters.

For some the notion that cooking over open fire could be accomplished with anything less than a beef Burger is archaic.

There’s an acceptance that vegetables can share the grill with meat — or even take it over! You can enjoy flame-roasted vegetables as much as a grilled rib-eye and yes, vegetables can be more than a side dish.

My kids eat around their vegetables. How can I get them to eat more veggies?

A: This question always seems to come with a sigh of desperation from parents. There are several approaches I have seen work:
1.Make it fun — don’t be the veggie police!
2.Model veggie lovin’ habits.
3.Keep trying.
4.Sneak ‘em in.

Eating should be pleasurable. There is nothing worse than being forced to eat veggies, so keep it light and fun! Explore the flavours and textures of veggies and how they change between raw, steamed, sautéed or roasted. It’s important to…

Avoid These Household Toxins

1) Triclosan: It’s found in many antibacterial hand soaps, gels, and body washes. Triclosan is believed to interfere with thyroid function. It is also has been linked to the creation of “superbugs,” which are resistant to antibiotics.
Alternative? Soap and water. Even the FDA says it “does not have evidence that triclosan in antibacterial soaps and body washes provides any benefit over washing with regular soap and water.”

2) Air Fresheners: Why mask bad smells with air polluting chemicals? Most air fresheners can actually leave dangerous levels of hormone disrupting phthalates or formaldehyde…
