Eating Smart- Are Oil Free Diets Healthy
Oil or Fat Free Diets, may sound better as they promise to help
you knock off weight quickly but to completely omit oil from your diet is not a good idea.
Oil, besides being high in calories (1 gm. of oil or fat = 9 calories) contains essential
fatty acids, which are required to perform certain vital functions in your body. These
fatty acids that are provided by oil in your diet and cannot be produced naturally by your
body. If you do not consume the recommended amount of oil per day your body becomes
deficient in these fatty acids causing visible symptoms like fatigue, weakness, mood
swings, dry skin and dry hair. Oil also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
like vitamins A, D, E and K. Vitamins A and E are important in your daily diet as they are
antioxidants and help you to build up your immune system to fight against infections.
Vitamin D helps in strengthening your bones and teeth whereas vitamin K helps in clotting
your blood during injuries. So be wary of 'zero oil diets', as they can be harmful. Cooking For Health: Coriander &
Cilantro - Facts
Origin:
Coriander (or cilantro) probably is one of the first spices used by mankind, existed from
as early as 5000 BC. A native of the Mediterranean region originally coming from the East,
it is one of the herbs brought to Britain by the Romans. Sanskrit writings dating from
about 1500 BC also spoke of it while in the Old Testament "manna" is described
as "small round and white like Coriander Seed." from very ancient times. The
Romans spread it throughout Europe and it was one of the first spices to arrive in
America. As an aromatic stimulant and spice, it has been cultivated and used. |

Tip of the week
Cooking:
To bake potatoes crisp and brown, soak the peeled potatoes in hot water for
a while, pat dry and pierce all over with a fork before placing them in hot fat along with
the roast.
Health:
Iron Skillet: To improve your iron intake, use an iron skillet or cast iron
cookware. Acidic foods, such as tomatoes and vinegar help to dissolve small amounts of
iron into cooking liquids thus increasing the iron content of your meal.
