Fruit salad at les deux Magots Paris

This fruit salad is one of my favorites as it is light ,fresh and spices are even added to the salad syrup.It is a very good option when you crave for a snack.

you can couple it with a decaf espresso or a green tea and always try to drink your 1.5-2 Liters of water daily specially when consuming caffeinated beverages as they have a diuretic effect.

Meat sometimes comes from some cows that were raised for Milk production which means that their meat is dry and hard but most importantly cheaper.

In order to tenderize meat, it is mixed with additives,salt and water.The meat then increases in weight and price.

This mixture can even be used in the preparation of canned dishes by adding colorings, dehydrated wine, sugar and caramel as flavor boosters.

Organic meats remains the best solution to avoid being tricked by meat industries.

Sugar is one of the most popular hidden ingredient consumed everyday it is present in all packaged food such as ready made dishes,cereals,pasta sauces,salad dressings,chips and many other recipes.We consume 18 pieces of sugar per day along with twice the daily recommendation for salt.

Cereals are in every kids or adults breakfast menu.Cereals contain an average of 11 g of sugar per 30 g of cereals.

Cereals were initially created for people suffering from bad eating habits. It was considered a detox meal made from corn flour with no sugar added to help them get in shape and lose weight. Sugar was then added in order to change the initial recipe and boost cereal sales.Sugar became the first target in the recipe rather than the grain itself, leading to high rates of tooth decay in children along with many cases of diabetes in adults.Nutritionists payed close attention to the similarity between candies and cereals.

Honey was then introduced as a replacement to sugar, however honey had the same impact on tooth decay and obesity.Sugar stimulates the pleasure center of the brain which then activates the addiction mechanism in the brain.

Scientists even discovered that rats can be more addicted to sugar than cocaine.

Media is trying to influence people in choosing diet or low fat cereal varieties when the only solution is to opt for fresh grains or bran varieties which has a higher glycemic index and fiber content.
