thanks to Eve Digital and Esther Muchene

While we can’t promise you that these foods will turn you into a genius, one thing is for sure, the right foods will sharpen your thinking ability.

Recent studies suggest vegetables such as broccoli help combat memory loss. Other studies have also found a link between eating more blueberries and strawberries with a reduced rate of cognitive decline.

So, before you give your body a food coma by consuming foods that are empty in calories and devoid of nutritional content, here are s...

15 Foods that last longer than you think

Thanks To Linda Loosli from foodstoragemoms.com

15 Foods That Last Forever

1. Honey

If you can buy raw honey, it will last forever. Please remember that storing honey in 5-gallon buckets is not the best idea. You may have to chisel the honey to use after a few years. It will crystalize, which is fine if it’s stored in quart mason jars. You can set your jars outside in the heat of the summer and it will eventually go back to its liquid state. If you microwave the jars you will lose some critical nutrients in the honey.

2. Sugar

Sugar is very inexpensive and it will store indefinitely if it does not get moisture in it. If you find a bucket of sugar that is rock hard, it has gotten moisture in it. Please keep it dry and stored in a cool place...

Does Vitamin water work?

November 26, 2018, Posted in  Quick Tips

Water used to come in just one flavor: plain.

But it wasn’t long before entrepreneurs saw an opportunity for H2O 2.0. If plain water is good for you, then water enhanced with vitamins, minerals and electrolytes must be even healthier — right?

Not quite. “Most of the claims are marketing ploys to sell water at a higher price,” says Bonnie Liebman, director of nutrition at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group. “They are not about scientific evidence, and not about the public’s health.”

But that hasn’t stopped people from buying it. Sales of bottled water in the U.S. increased more than 6% to $15 billion in 2015.

Amazing new foods, many you have already heard of…..

Thanks to the BBC Food team

  1. Gut-friendly food

With fermenting, pickling and preserving reaching the mainstream, our panel agree that gut health is set to be a big food trend for 2018. This includes probiotics like kimchi, miso and kefir and prebiotics such as onions, garlic and other alliums.

  1. Booze-free beverages

Non-alcoholic drinks as a growth area in the food and drink industry, and our supermarket forecasters say that health-conscious millennials are drinking booze less and less. Premium tonic waters with interesting flavours, non-alcoholic ‘spirits’ and botanical mixes are flooding in to fill a gap in the market.

You could shop for booze-free drinks or make your own mocktails and fruity cordials at home.
