our tips
Make your
strawberries last longer
Are you sick of your strawberries
sagging before you get a chance to eat them? Director Leanne Cooper
has come up with a handy tip that might just make strawberries last longer
in the fridge. First have a nibble of one or two out of the pack, place
the lid back on and tip them upside down and place back in the fridge.
She swears that it stops them from going off so quickly, her theory is
"they can breath better"...
did you know…
Smokers eat less fruit and veggies
Studies have shown that
smokers tend to eat less fruit and vegetables than non-smokers, which in
turn may reduce their intake of dietary antioxidants leading to more
oxidative stress (aging of cells). Oxidative stress is continually
being connected with various illnesses.
Green tea is good for
your heart
Most of us know that tea (black and
green which are the same bar the processing) are great sources of
antioxidants called polyphenols, but did you know that green tea may also
reduce heart disease and stroke (especially in women). A recent
study conducted in Japan did not that 3+ cups per day were required (we're
not sure if this is a Japanese tea cup or a western size cup).

The importance
of introducing ‘lumpy’ foods
Researchers at Bristol University
in England have found that babies who are not exposed to lumpy foods may
be more likely to develop fussy eating habits. Ensure baby is given a
variety of foods between the ages of six to nine months to prevent them
from later becoming fussy eaters. Introduce small bits of cooked (soft)
vegetables or mash foods with a fork so that small lumps remain.
Why is breast cancer on the
rise?
"It's a sobering fact that this year
more than 13,000 Australian women and 100 men will be diagnosed with
breast cancer. That's 36 each day and the numbers are growing alarmingly.
It's now the case that by the time a woman reaches the age of 85, she has
a one in eight chance of developing breast cancer." KERRY O'BRIEN
Few women haven't questioned the
effect of their underarm deodorant or grandma's aluminium pots on their
health. It seems now that excessive weight gain post menopause, long
term use of HRT, and lifestyle issues of having children later and
breastfeeding less. So while detection and treatment are greatly
improved there is more we can do. Read this interview at

Fruit and veggies
that save lives
Ever heard of ORAC? No, well you are
likely to in the future! ORAC or oxygen radical absorbance capacity
is a text conducted on a foods total antioxidant power. A US agency
has recently published a list of the top fruit and vegetables with the
highest ORAC ratings. The study suggests that by eating loads of
high-ORAC foods you can raise your antioxidant power in your blood by
10-25%, prevent partial loss of long-term memory (at least in rats),
assist the brain in its neural response efficiency and protect blood
vessels from oxygen damage. The top five fruit and veggies on the
list are:

Apples hold the key
to reducing peanut allergy
The same centre believes it may have
found the answer to reducing the allergenicity of peanuts, it seems that
by adding a natural compound found in apples called polyphenol oxidase
(PPO) to chopped-up peanuts this may reduce the allergic reaction some may
experience.
