Eating from Scratch - Slow soups
Roughly chop leeks, onions, celery, and potatoes. Sweat in a little olive oil, then pour over stock, cover, and allow to simmer until soft. Repeat the formula with other combinations of vegetables, try broths, minestrones, and miso soup, make lentil-based dhals or throw in fiber-rich legumes to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Research shows that supping soup makes us feel full and so stops snacking. Soupeaters lose weight more easily than those who eat the same calories in other forms.
Organic Juicing - Specialty juices
For best flavor, look for cloudy specialty apple and pear juices from family orchards that specialize in named local varieties, each with a distinct taste.
Green Essentials - Green cleaners
Go shopping for green cleaners made from naturally derived surfactants (the main components of detergent) and biodegradable ingredients that have less impact on the environment, and so on the health of our food and water. Ecover and Seventh Generation products are efficient, or make your own.
