Food and cooking tips

A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?


Buy Organic Foods : There are 12 foods where buying organic makes even more sense than normal.
According to the EWG (Environmental Working Group) the 12 most contaminated foods are:
  • apples
  • bell peppers
  • celery
  • cherries
  • imported grapes
  • nectarines
  • peaches
  • pears
  • potatoes
  • red raspberries
  • spinach
  • strawberries
All tested positive for pesticide residue – even after having been washed! Sweet bell peppers were the vegetable with the most pesticides overall, with 39 pesticides detected on a single sample. Conversely, if you're going to buy conventional, peas, broccoli, onions, pineapples, mangoes, bananas, kiwi and papaya had the lowest occurrence of pesticide residue.


Diet info

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss program is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing food types and a score representing the rapidity with which the energy in the food gets transformed to glucose in your bloodstream. The theory is that long-acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to consume fewer food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also extremely beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are beneficial in preventing rises in glucose levels.
