SAVE MONEY ON FOOD

 

 

SAVE MONEY ON FOOD

The cost of all foods have sky rocketed for example milk and chicken has tripled in the last few years.

However, there is one food that has actually decreased in price and the good news is that it is not a processed, fake food that does nothing but add on unwanted pounds and cause inflammation in your body which are responsible for most diseases.

This food is considered a super food for the following reasons-

1.     It is the number one antioxidant.

2.     It is loaded with protein (we only need a small percentage of the protein we actually get, we do not have to combine these proteins in any special way   as laid out in Diet for a Small Planet), controls blood sugar as it’s released slowly into the bloodstream,

3.      Helps curb your appetite as they release leptin into the bloodstream which reduces appetite and increase your metabolism

4.      Loaded with fiber which helps remove toxins and waste products more quickly,  “Soluble” fiber becomes gooey and helps to process fats,

5.     Lowers cholesterol

6.     Slows the release of carbohydrates into the bloodstream, the difference between a spoonful of sugar and a spoonful of beans is startling. In fact, if you’d like to reduce your calorie “price” by 10%, add an extra 14 grams of fiber. This means that if you eat 2,000 calories per day, and add 28 grams of fiber to your meals, those calories will only “count” as 1600. Cool!

7.     Loaded with B Vitamins (protect against heart disease and cancer, B12 dementia) calcium, potassium (reduce blood pressure and stroke)

8.     Folate- You need 700 micrograms of folate to reduce your chance of getting hearing loss, as well as making arteries flexible, reduce my chance of heart disease and dementia.  Pile your plate high with spinach, fortified pasta, beans, lentils

 

 Can you   connect the dots in which super  food has actually gone down in price when all other foods have doubles and tripled in price ??

 

It’s beans!  You need 40 grams of fiber per day and beans `will give you 15 grams per cup!

Actually there is nothing in a grocery store that is a better and bigger bargain than beans, all kinds of beans, lentils and peas.  If you buy them in bulk they are even cheaper!!!

Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water

  Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water Globally 154 billion litres of bottled water was consumed in 2004.  This was up 57% from five years earlier.  In 2006, an astounding 30% of people in Ontario who had access to regularly inspected municipal water supply primarily drank bottled water.  Many people believe that bottled water is purer and safer than tap water. Before buying your next bottle of water please consider the following facts: Some bottled water actually comes from municipal water supplies, so you are paying twice for the same water. The City of Toronto inspects its water every four hours. Bottling plants are inspected only once every 3-6 years! Some studies have found concentrations of arsenic and mercury in bottled water. Bacteria in bottled water can multiply very quickly when stored over long periods or exposed to intense heat. Our oil supplies are peaking and gas prices are sky rocketing, making plastic bottles

DON'T TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN

 DON'T  TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN On Sunday, October 15, the Barrie Garden Club ventured out on a dark, dreary, and drizzly day to pick up litter, along Highway 26 close to Wilson Avenue. As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables. So it boggles my mind why so many Canadians do not use the readily provided containers, but instead  treat Mother Earth like a gigantic garbage bin. I simply cannot understand when someone buys a cup of coffee, they then go for a long hike, they  manage to carry the cup full of coffee, but the minute it’s empty, they simply cannot manage to carry  it back home a
