There are some diet philosophies going around at the moment that try to demonise fruit. They preach that a banana has just as much sugar as a lemonade or a Mars bar (so you might as well go for the latter). There is a HUGE problem with this outlook. There is a clear difference between eating a piece of fruit and drinking a soft drink or eating a chocolate bar. The difference is that the fructose in fruit is bound up in a “food matrix”, a complex mixture of fibre and other compounds like “polyphenols” which are chemicals that contribute many benefits to the human body. This "food matrix" changes the way the fructose (sugar) is metabolised and doesn’t raise your blood sugar levels in the same way that processed fructose does. Always choose the fresh food option when you can - your body and mind will thank you for it later 💛 picture via @apatchofskye

Our body can’t produce omega-3 fatty acids for itself, which means we must rely on our diet to ensure we get enough. These fatty acids help reduce blood cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels. Studies also show they reduce inflammation in the body and may play a protective role in neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimers and Dementia.

“I think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one’s own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money.” - #anthonybourdain 🧡
