How To Keep Vegetables Fresh In Your Refrigerator




When you stop to think about it, wondering about how to keep vegetables fresh in your refrigerator is a pretty novel thing. Just a hundred years ago, before modern electric appliances, people couldn’t even ask the question. Now things are different. Today you can buy a refrigerator as big as a house or pick up a mini-fridge for your college dorm. Today, people even drive 18-wheeled diesel-powered refrigerators on superhighways. If they were alive, our ancestors would accuse us of witchcraft.

As a species, it’s pretty easy to feel impressed with ourselves – we’ve accomplished some neat things over the past century. But with every new breakthrough come new problems. When we learned how to preserve food with cold air, we invented a system that short-circuits our natural inclination to prevent food waste.

Does Refrigeration Contribute to Food Waste?

So here’s the dark side of the modern kitchen: these days, even though we’re able to put our food in cold storage until it’s time for dinner, the average American family still throws out somewhere between 12 and 25 percent of the food they buy. It’s not because we don’t care about the planet, and we ourselves haven’t changed in fundamental ways. But both technology and the idea of abundance have had an effect on our psychology. When you’ve got a machine that lets you forget about your food, enough people do exactly that – and it’s enough to make a difference.

How much food are we talking about again? It works out to more than 465 pounds of food a year, per family. We can do better than that. We should do better than that. After all, the question of how to keep vegetables fresh in your refrigerator isn’t a hard one to answer. We can prevent food waste. It takes some planning, that’s all.

We take this stuff pretty seriously, so we’ve put together a few tips to help make sure your veggies stay fresh and crisp until you chop them up for that Cobb salad recipe you’ve been waiting to try. Ready? Let’s see what we can do to address this problem.

This is interesting. After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again.

BNP_cXzCMAEdRWL

Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.

But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

ANEMIA:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

BLOOD PRESSURE:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

BRAIN POWER:
200 students at a Twickenham school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

CONSTIPATION:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

HANGOVERS:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

HEARTBURN:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

When Annette Larkins goes out with her husband, people often speculate that he had become involved with a younger woman. Other times, they ask him how his granddaughter is doing, referring to Larkins. Little do they know that Larkins, a size 4 fireball of energy, is a 70-year-old woman. Dubbed by many as an “ageless woman” who discovered the fountain of youth, her secret is right in her own backyard. How does she do it? Simple: she’s been eating completely raw foods for 27 years.

Raw foods the key to a youthful appearance, more energy

The Miami-Dade County, Florida, resident mainly eats the foods that she grows in her own indoor and outdoor gardens. “I’m very vibrant, I have lots of energy,” Larkins says. “I’m up at no later than 5:30 in the morning… I’m ready to go.”

What started as a quest to achieve increased energy and feel healthier turned into a vegetarian lifestyle and, eventually, a raw vegan way of life. Despite her husband’s meat-eating habits, she remains loyal to raw foods. “My diet consists of fruits, nuts, vegetables and seeds,” she says. “I do a lot of sprouting of seeds.”

In addition to internal benefits, many raw foods’ ingredients help improve the skin’s overall appearance, resulting in a more youthful look. Carrots, listed by the Mayo Clinic as a “healthy skin” food, contain beta-carotene, which is responsible for removing toxins in the body and creating better looking skin. Blueberries, tomatoes and lentils are also healthy skin suggestions from the Mayo Clinic. Cucumbers, too, are filled with cell-regenerating vitamins and minerals and are known for their anti-aging benefits.

Woman overcomes 17 years of fibromyalgia pain with raw food diet

(NaturalNews) There was a time when Stacy Stowers tried to fight her debilitating fibromyalgia and chronic pain with a daily combination of coffee, sleeping pills and alcohol. "I couldn't get out of bed or get dressed," Stowers says. "Eventually my teeth started to fall out." She lived with such pain and an unhealthy lifestyle for nearly 20 years.

Flash forward to today, and Stowers is a vibrant woman. She beat fibromyalgia pain and has been healthy since 2007.

Her secret? Raw foods.

She was introduced to raw foods in 2007 and says that after just 10 days, she stared to feel so good, she was able to get out of bed. These days, she spreads the word about the power raw foods and has authored the book, "Eat Raw, Not Cooked."


The healing powers of a raw food diet

"There are two basic reasons why raw food heals," she says. "One is the live enzymes. Our body has all these metabolic enzymes that keep us young, and digestive enzymes that you find in raw real foods. When we kill the natural digestive enzymes with cooking, our metabolic enzymes that are healing us and keeping our skin healthful have to stop what they're doing and work on digestion."

She explains that the other reason raw foods heal is because they keep the body's acid/alkaline levels balanced; an acidic body is riddled with the harmful effects of bad foods, ongoing stress and pollution. Raw foods make the body more alkaline.

Avocado Seeds – Super Food for Super Health

Avocado seeds contain 100% of the daily fiber that is recommended for a healthy diet. They also contain more antioxidant properties than all of the flesh in the avocado. But, that’s not all, avocado seeds have a whole list of medical benefits you might not have known about:
Avocados Seeds are packed with Antioxidants
70% of the antioxidants in an avocado are actually in the seed, not in the flesh. Avocado seeds contain an antioxidant known as phenolic compounds, which have anti-viral and antibacterial properties that have been shown to alleviate pain from gastric ulcers. Avocado seeds are also very high flavonol, an antioxidant that’s been shown to fight cancer. The main benefit of antioxidants in general is their ability to fight free radicals. Free radicals are believed to be one of the main reason why people get sick, develop cancer, and age faster than they should.

Avocado Seeds are Packed with Fiber
Avocados seeds contain extremely high amounts of soluble fiber, which helps all aspects of digestion. Swelling in the GI tract is eased by the anti inflammatory nature of avocado seeds. Constipation and diarrhea are also easily treated with avocado seeds. Adding more fiber to your diet is good for everything from losing weight to lowering blood sugar.

Thank you for this thread mudra as we're going Vegan again.

I just tried out this new recipe which was excellent.

1 onion (chopped or sliced)
2 cloves garlic
2 celery stalks (sliced)
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
1 can of black eyed beans

Caramelize garlic and onion in coconut oil, add celery and red bell pepper - stir fry for about 5-7 minutes. Last add the black eyed beans. I use a little salt, pepper, cinnamon and Ashwagandha as spices.
