What Can You Get From A Raw Food Diet

We all know that cooking takes out many essential nutrients and vitamins from the food. This will reduce the amount of beneficial nutrients that we need in our body in order for us to become healthy. A raw food is far more nutritious than cooked foods.

Health Benefits of Onion

Onion has been believed as a protection against vampires. In middle ages, people put onions on their doors, hang it on windows and even on their body because it was believed that the smell of the onion keeps the vampires and evil spirits away. But what's more convincing to this belief is that onion has lots of health benefits than to counter evil spirits.

Philippines Traditional Food

Do you know your own traditional food or cuisine? I bet you do. It is important that we should know and learn our own traditional food because this determines our own and unique culture that other countries don't have and is something to be proud of.

Since I am a Filipino and been living here in Philippines I can safely say that I know my traditional food and its history as well.

Speaking of uniqueness, sadly to say, Filipino cuisine is a derivation from many foreign cuisine. It has developed from the original Malay roots to Spanish dishes and also has the influence from Chinese, Indian, Arab, Korean, Japanese cuisine and American dishes. Although most of the Philippine cuisine have foreign influence, but there are still Philippine cuisine that may call original. The indigenous Moro and Lumad of Mindanao that never been persuaded by the Hispanic culture are still cooking the original spicy Malay cuisine like the Ginataang Manok (chicken cooked in coconut milk).
