The Staff of Life – Bread

February 7th 2007 02:27
Egyptians have been baking flatbread as far back as 3000BC and apparently the earliest recipe for bread is 12,000 years old! – it was ground grain mixed with water. I’m happy to report that this oldie is still a goodie! Homemade bread made with the freshest of ingredients (such as organic wholemeal flours, sea salt, purified water, olive oil, and a yeast-free starter) should be a regular part of most people’s diet (I say most, because people with allergies, intolerances or certain conditions need to take care with grains).
Besides making your own bread (we have a Sunbeam and use a variety of flours from Lauke – a key to making it at home is that practice makes perfect!) you can get a range of great organic and bio-dynamic breads from your local bakery or grocer (Macro has a great range). Our favourite at the moment is wholemeal rye sourdough – remember: the darker it is the better it is for you! Rye also contains more fibre than wheat flour. There are also a range of breads made from “ancient grains” such as spelt and kamut that you should also give a try. Whatever you do, ditch the square white stuff and spend a bit more and choose bread made with the freshest ingredients - your body and taste buds will thank you!

Don’t like Red Wine – Try Grape Juice! Its Just as Good for You

February 5th 2007 22:38
A recent study published in the journal Cardiovascular Research suggests that grape juice can have a similar effect against heart disease as red wine. Red wine and certain types of grape juice have high levels of polyphenols (a type of antioxidant), which block the production of a protein linked to cardiovascular disease -- the No. 1 killer in many Western countries. Polyphenols (which is also found in thyme and oregano) work the same way in red wine and in grape juice. The amount of polyphenols in grape juice, as in red wine, depends on the type of grape used and how it is processed.
This is great news for people that can’t drink wine but want to enjoy the health benefits the Mediterranean’s have enjoyed since Jesus worked out how to turn water into wine! We love our red wine, which is partly due to the fact I come from a beautiful wine and fruit producing area in North – Western Victoria and have Southern Italian genes. There is also good news for consumers, currently there is a massive glut in the wine industry and this means cheaper wine for you! You can also try a range of organic and bio-dynamic wines on offer which support smaller run family wineries and growers. I’ll drink to that!

How to snag a guy through food

February 2nd 2007 03:42

Yes girls, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Dan I and have been together for 4.5 yrs, and are now engaged! How, do you ask? It was a cup of Indian tea that did it. Dan was introduced to me at a cousin’s birthday party. I was instantly impressed by him, and we danced and talked all night. At the end of the night, I gave him my phone number (without him asking!). I was smitten and was hoping to meet him again.

The New Exercise Craze - It's free!

February 1st 2007 12:00
Use it or loose it! I'm sure you have all heard that expression, but when it comes to exercising, we all conjure up thoughts of hard yakka in the gym, unused memberships and those useless Ab-rollers!
New Year's resolutions are a god send for gyms world wide. Personally, we take the Buddha path to exercise - everything in moderation - including food and exercise. Most people start out enthusiastic about getting into shape and find that they struggle to keep routines and only go because they have paid up front for a full year (silly you!) - you know how many handbags you could have bought?! (I know 'cause Sheetal has a stack). Anyway, I have found the perfect exercise you can do even while on holidays and the best thing is its free - it’s called WALKING! My partner and I go on walks nearly everyday. Not only is it a chance to catch up, but its actually good for you. Let's look at the benefits:
