breads_cPeople eat bread for centuries. Some years ago white bread was considered the most expensive and health-giving, but today we know that it is not so good for us. White bread is rather nutritious and is not good for people who's on diet. Wholemeal, brown and wheatgerm bread is much better for our health. But what kind of bread is it?

cerealsThere are a lot of cereals that are used as a food in different countries. They're nutritious and helth-giving.

Preparing-for-Juicing_cJuicing is a bit like a voyage of discovery, and it's the kind of activity that you can easily adapt to your own likes and dislikes.

wine-makingLeft to its own devices, the juice of any fruit or vegetable will, in time, ferment and turn itself into wine. Loosely speaking, wine is simply a lightly alcoholic, fermented drink, so you can get rhubarb wine, rice wine, carrot wine, plum wine, crab apple wine - any kind of wine you like. More precisely, however, the word wine on its own is universally recognised to mean the fermented juice of the wine-making grape. The particular type of grape used is known botanically as vitis vinifera, and is very different from the usual eating varieties. It makes a uniquely complex, many dimensional, infinitely variable drink, which is in quite a different class from the fermented juice of any other fruit.

Buying-Fresh-Fruits-and-Vegetables_cProduce bought for juicing should be as fresh and as high a quality as your budget will stretch to, ensuring a better-tasting and more nutritionally complete juice. Watch out for mature and ripe produce, which will contain more vitamins and minerals. For example, although the mature outer leaves of a cabbage or lettuce may look unappealing, they contain the most nutrients and are therefore very valuable in juicing terms - just think, you won't actually have to chew on a leaf!

chicken_salmonella_cAccording to the latest estimates, salmonella (the bacterium which causes food poisoning if not eliminated by careful cooking) can be found in 80% of frozen broiler chickens sold to the public. The birds may have eaten food contaminated with salmonella; they could have been infected in the crowded conditions of the broiler house; or the infection might have taken place at a later stage: in a poultry processing plant, where many thousands of birds are slaughtered and eviscerated every day.

Raw-Juices2_cBoth fruit and vegetable juices are strong alkalizers once they have been digested, which is a plus point for most of us, because the average diet of too much protein and too many refined, processed foods creates over-acidity. Like any other living thing, the body has a subtle pH balance between acid and alkaline, tipping the scales in favour of alkaline. Drinking a glass of juice a day can help restore this essential balance.

yogurtYogurt is made by fermenting warmed milk with bacteria. The nutritional content depends on the type of milk used and the fat content of the milk. All yogurt contains protein, calcium and some B vitamins. It has no fibre content unless fruit, nuts or cereal fibre is added.

Raw-Juices_cIn these days of advanced technology and rapid change, it's easy to get caught up in the clutches of convenience, and to forget the simple and natural things in life. While we're all aware of the benefits, eating fresh food in its natural state is something that's often pushed to the bottom of our priority list. We make time to see friends, play sport, and clean the house, but when it comes to supplying energy and nutrition through the best sorts of food it's usually another story: one of packets, tins, TV dinners, takeaways, cans of fizzy drink, and endless cups of coffee and tea.
