For Years I Used To Make Vegetables Wrong. Overboiling, Frying The Hell Out Of It And Even Steaming It

For Years I Used To Make Vegetables Wrong. Overboiling, Frying The Hell Out Of It And Even Steaming It

For years I used to make vegetables wrong. Overboiling, frying the hell out of it and even steaming it all wrong. But having lived in Hong Kong for a period of years I got an appreciation of the benefits of making vegetables perfectly so it tastes beautiful while losing very little of the nutrients. Take this Gai Lan also known as Chinese broccoli, which funnily enough originated in Europe. All you need is to immerse this in boiling hot water for three minutes are you are done. It comes out tasty, crunchy and with a bit Sesame oil it is fantastic. And it has plenty of fiber to feed your good gut bacteria. Did you know that good bacteria feeds on fiber while bad bacteria feeds on sugar?

I Have Not Taken Any Vaccination, Medication Or Supplements For Over Ten Years. And Not Been Sick Either.

I have not taken any vaccination, medication or supplements for over ten years. And not been sick either. But the Corona virus has me keen to get the vaccine. My parents got it and they had zero side effects. Did you know that you absolutely cannot get the Covid-19 virus from the vaccination? The greatest risk would be from side effects, but they have been statistically insignificant. It maybe because the ingredients in the vaccine are very simple. Take a look at our blog post as we delve deeper into the Covid-19 vaccine.

Try This. Get Some Pork Belly, Marinate With Ceylon Cinnamon Powder, Hungarian Paprika And Salt And Pan

Try this. Get some Pork Belly, marinate with Ceylon Cinnamon powder, Hungarian Paprika and salt and pan fry in coconut oil and serve over angel hair pasta with lots of vegetables. An easy family meal.  The Ceylon Cinnamon and Hungarian Paprika really amps up the taste. Better than store bought bacon. I add plenty of extra salt because Pork being a bland meat needs more salt and some of it falls away when frying. Yes, there is this belief that too much salt is bad for you but the thing is your salt intake per portion size will still be still under the recommended daily levels. It’s not like you will be eating a huge portion of Pork Belly, right? I would rather put extra salt in the Pork to give it that fabulous taste and have less salt (or zero salt) in the vegetables and the pasta. That combination is much better. The funny thing is salty Pork Belly makes you eat less meat and more of the vegetables and pasta. Then you can go one further and add more vegetables than pasta. A great way to trick the kids to eat their vegetables.

When I Used To Live In Hong Kong And Went To Lunch With The Office Staff The Custom Was To Always Eat

When I used to live in Hong Kong and went to lunch with the office staff the custom was to always eat vegetables first, then protein and finally rice or noodles after a pause. The meal would last an hour at lunch and at dinner it would last maybe 2-3 hours. And each dish would come at intervals. And I used to never feel sleepy after the meal. It got me thinking. Should we save carbs for last and give it a 15-minute pause? A small study from Weil Cornell indicates glucose levels were 29%, 37% and 17% lower at the 30, 60 and 120-minute checks, compared with when carbohydrates were consumed first. They might be onto something. Give it a try and see if your food Coma is eliminated. And eat slowly. That could prevent the sudden rush of glucose. For diabetics this might be even more useful to control blood sugar levels. Apparently your body requires an acid base to digest proteins and an alkaline base to digest starches so keeping them separate might make even more sense.
