Food tips
Buy Seasonal Food : Food in season is the best you can buy. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.
Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
- sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
- green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
- raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.
Buy Seasonal Food : If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!
Safety in the kitchen
Never fill a chip pan more than a third full of oil.
- Don't overload sockets - one plug per socket is the rule, especially if the appliance takes a lot of power (like a kettle).
- Don't run extension cables across the floor as they can become worn.
- Is the electric kettle leaking? This can be dangerous.
