show and tell nutrition
Tina's Kitchen (my shop) developed as a 'show and tell' nutrition cafe offering lunch three days a week so people could see and experience how nutrient dense, carefully thought out food tastes and looks.
My view is that when we feed ourselves well, with enough protein, good quality fats and plenty of vegetables, we ‘need’ less sweet foods and empty foods.
Here are some of the things I recommend to make sure that your food is as healthy as possible and helps to make you feel good:
o Include vegetables, especially greens, in just about everything you make, helping you to reach your 5-a-day and more.
o Protein has so many benefits including supporting blood sugar balancing and weight control. Include some protein every time you eat - it is the most satiating food and is nutrient dense. It also supplies amino acids which are the building blocks of neurotransmitters (brain chemicals), digestive juices and much more.
o Herbs and spices all add nutritional value - use them daily; even dried herbs have some benefit.
o The pith and peel of whole (organic) lemons and limes contain important and valuable antioxidants. The slightly bitter taste also can help retrain our taste buds and stimulate digestive juices.
o Use only olive oil, coconut oil, butter and animal fat, and avoid vegetable and sunflower oils and margarines which can contribute to inflammation in the body.
