relying on supermarkets to tell us how to eat. What happened to learning at your Mother’s knee? We are producing a generation who have no idea how to eat to their best advantage. We want food fast and we want it now. What happened to enjoying the process of making your own dishes, as the Americans like to say, ‘from scratch’? Twenty minutes has been determined as the amount of time that a ready meal should take in a conventional oven and five minutes in a microwave and not a second longer. Shouting ‘Hurry’ at the microwave is really sad. The satisfaction that comes from a slow braised piece of meat is becoming a distant memory for a great swathe of our population.
There have never been so many cooking shows on the TV most of them with an accompanying book. These shows are not drama or light entertainment but are a way of learning skills and having a go at something new or old.
Has it come to this that we are incapable of or not interested in weighing flour or cracking an egg? I have said before that what is happening on the inside of your body is directly reflected in what is happening on the outside. Good nutrition is the truly vital element of your beauty regime. A happy digestive system will result in clear skin and loads of energy. Spending a fortune on expensive anti-ageing creams
and procedures is a waste of time if you are eating like a university student on a budget that puts beer at the top of the shopping list. You need to take in a full complement of all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function at the top of its game.
There are two types of vitamins – fat-soluble and water-soluble.
Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the fatty tissues and the liver then hang around waiting until they are needed.
This can be anything from a few days to up to six
months. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored and are carried around the body in the blood stream, going where they are needed. Any excess is expelled from the body when you go to the loo. These vitamins include Vit C, niacin, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid and all the B vitamins.
B vitamins are essential for energy and making the red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body. Find them in whole grains, fish, meat, poultry, dairy, green vegetables, beans and peas.
Foods that are fresh, seasonal and local will give you the best quality nutrients. We all have to eat so why not give it your best shot?
