A WEEKEND GETAWAY WITH CHEF BONNIE

For those who have been following the food network would know who Chef Bonnie Muirhead is. The 26 years old Californian nanny and personal chef was the 2008 runner-up in Fox TV’s reality cooking competition known as the Hell’s Kitchen presented by Chef Gordon Ramsay, a British chef, television personality and restaurateur who had hosted many competitive programs such as the Hell's Kitchen, The F-Word and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

I recently stumbled upon an existing sweepstakes where one of the winning prizes was the Chef Bonnie Weekend Getaway. It would be a waste if I did not share this with my readers since I’m not eligible to join in from this part of the world. The chance of the lifetime to have Chef Bonnie cook for you and your 3 friends should not be missed. Wow! $5000 worth of vacation deal which would include some cash for your airfares and meals? How I wish I were to be living in South California right now. For my American and Canadian friends, check this out right now as you won’t even have to make any purchase to qualify for the sweepstakes. If you were to win this promotion, all you have to do is to select any of their selected vacation homes.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HEALTHY DIETS?

I have always told my foodie friends that we are what we eat and we should always keep watchful eyes over what we dumped into our bodies. Food indeed is a necessity to keep us strong in order for us to perform our daily duties with the required energy. Sometimes, we tend to overlook in the aspect of “eat to live” or “livë to eat”. How sure are we that by eating in large quantities would ensure that our bodies would have the necessary nutrients to stay healthy? Most people would not even bother with their figures as the temptation of great food surrounding them overpowered them. Thus, there would never be an ending to the alarming increase in obesity and obesity related illness.

What do you know about healthy diets then? Do you think that your present lifestyle should be studied more carefully now? It does not mean that staying away from too much of red meat will eventually make you healthy. Other than white meat such as lean chicken, turkey or even Omega 3 enriched fish, you can always opt for grass fed beef, venison or bison. The most important part of a healthy diet lies in our consumption of more natural state food such as vegetables and fruits.

Vegetables especially those colorful one have the necessary fiber, vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to our health. Take them more as what your Mom would always advise you, “Eat more vegetables dear” and you would not regret knowing that it would boost your prostate health to avoid the risk of having Prostate Cancer when you touches 40’s, especially in men. On the other hand, fruits and berries would be ideal to satisfy your need for some sweetness. Take them fresh and you could have them in juices minus the addition of sugar of course. If you insist to have the juices sweeter, you can think of using natural sweetener such as the Sweetleaf or Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana). The FDA approved leaves from the plant has zero calories and are 300 times sweeter than sugar.

Other on the adaption of a healthy diet into your lifestyle, exercising regularly is equally as important. After all, healthy food with healthy nutrients in a fitter body would ensure a healthy body and mind. For the guys, you won’t even need to rely too much on Viagra or Cialis anymore for a better bond in your relationships.
