What is the best method for cooking?

If you are a fan of barbecuing or cooking a la plancha , there are chances that you might be exposing your body to carcinogens. Toxic substances appear when animal fats are in contact with high temperatures. As soon as the temperature reaches 200 C, animal fat will transform into toxic substances.

It is better to opt for low fat varieties of meat and fish and make sure to cook them without adding any animal fat. Olive oil is a good option for temperature below 200 degree Celsius and organic canola oil for higher temperature. Clarified butter can be used at low temperature to add flavor.

Labneh and cucumber bites

Labneh and cucumber bites:

Ingredients:

Cucumber

labneh

zaatar

Cut cucumber in thin slices,spread labneh and sprinkle zaatar powder on top.

Labneh is my favorite cream cheese as I find it light and easily combined with bread,fruits and vegetables. I also tend to sprinkle zaatar in almost all my sandwiches as it gives it a nice flavor.

Those bites are a good idea for appetizers to your guest if you are hosting a diner!

Hemp,olive and walnut oils are considered high in quality. They provide your body with good fats that regulate the neuro-hormonal system.Energy will then properly be distributed in the body.

Your gut’s health also regulates your energy level.Fermented foods play an important role in stabilizing intestinal bacteria such as kefir,yogurt,kimchi and sauerkraut.

You can also boost your energy stores by consuming spiruline ,maca or baobab powder which are high in essential vitamins and minerals.
