Did you see the news this week that experts are now
suggesting 7 portions of fruit and veg can prolong your lifespan. Uh, no
kidding, right? But when most adults are not eating the recommended 5 daily
portions, it would be unreasonable and irresponsible for the government to make
7 portions the official daily guideline. I’m such a big advocate that you get
back what you put in (in all parts of life), but food is such a game changer –
from boosting your mood and energy levels to improving your skin and hair, a
little patience will reward you in a few weeks’ time. I like to think I eat a
healthy diet and I regularly exceed my recommended dose of the good stuff, but
this weekend I’ve set myself a little challenge to go that extra mile and I’ll
be posting about it next week, so stay tuned!
Here’s a couple healthy posts from around the web this
week:
The brownies I’ll be making this weekend, if I can just
get my hands on some raw cacao #middleclassproblems
Food photography tips if you don't have expensive kit
A deliciously fresh-looking green dip
Vegan milkshakes – who’s down?
Have you tried these everyday recipes for the busy home cook
I believe you can get cacao at wholefoods or health food shops but the good properties that exist will be destroyed in cooking anyway (or that is what I have read). Cacao I think is best for raw foods like smoothies. xx
