"Every time you eat or drink you are either feeding disease or fighting it!" - Heather Morgan
EAT Organic @ Mulberry Farms, Manesar The Power of Organic Fruits & Vegetables @ Mulberry Farms, Manesar Eating a healthy diet is not about strict limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and boosting your mood. Fruits and vegetables are full of fibre and all sorts of essential vitamins and minerals. But the chemicals that give fruits and vegetables their vibrant colours (called phytochemicals) have some pretty special qualities, too. And each colour has its own unique health benefits. We need about 5 veg and 2 fruit every day, to be the healthiest we can be. Any it can be easy. One practical tip is try adding in veg and fruit at every meal or snack. Aside from the overall benefits of eating healthy; research points to the fact that eating the right foods also helps keep skin looking young and healthy. There is also evidence showing that when we don't care about what we eat our skin definitely suffers. Here's a fun guide to what hidden treasures do different colored fruits & vegetables have naturally:
Red- antioxidants
Orange- high in carotenoids converted to vit A
Yellow- beta-carotene, a source of Vitamin A
Green- packed full of fibre, vitamins and minerals
Blue/Purple- Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants
White/Brown- anthoxanthins, fibre
Replace Cooking Oil with Organic Cold-pressed Oils
The oils you use for everyday cooking are extracted from seeds, fruits, vegetables & nuts. The way that oil is extracted has a direct effect on how the oils tastes & amount of nutrients in it. Using heat for oil extraction degrades the nutritional quality & flavor. Using cold pressed methods produces, such as ‘Wooden Chakka’ Technique higher quality oil, albeit in lesser quantities. Cold pressed oils are nutritionally dense- great for cooking as well as skin care. What's so good in them?
Unprocessed - No added preservatives and chemicals
Absolutely free of pesticides (which are arguably carcinogenic)
High in Vitamin E and micro nutrients that are vital for our holistic well-being.
Completely free from Trans-fat.
Retains antioxidants.
As it is manually filtered, it is more viscous and retains the flavour fully. This helps in lesser consumption (atleast by 20%) of oil as compared to the industrially processed refined oil.
TIP:
Switch between different Cold-pressed Oils instead of cooking food with only one variety of oil. This ensures our bodies absorb various nutrients present in different oils.
Cold Pressed Oils can beat the expensive chemical creams - NATURALLY!
