Spirulina

-
Spirulina is a microalgae (blue-green algae), one of the oldest life forms on Earth. It is one of the most nutrient-rich foods in the world. It's packed with vital nutrients that can protect us from many illnesses. The research proved that it can reduce fatigue, but it also helps improve the immune system, supports the heart, kidneys and liver and is hoped to be one of the best anti-cancer superfoods (but there is not enough research to tell that confidently). Moreover, spirulina is a natural detoxifier and oxygenates the blood. Another advantage is that it is also an appetite suppressant, and it helps to improve the digestive system.
Spirulina has 10 times the beta-carotene of carrot. It contains all nine essential amino acids, many rare fatty acids and it is almost 3/4 protein. What is more, it is a rich source of vitamins, minerals (iron, potassium, as well as calcium chromium, and copper).

How to introduce spirulina to your diet?

Spirulina Green Juice
a handful of spinach
about 200 ml of natural apple juice
1 banana
1 small lemon or lime
1 teaspoon Spirulina powder
Blend all the fruit and leaves until they become a smooth liquid, then add 1 teaspoon of spirulina powder and mix it all together.

    Sorry for my scepticism but how exactly does spirulina "oxygenate" blood? Does it somehow increase the amount of hemoglobin in our blood or does it contain iron? Because if it has something to do with chlorophyll than it's simply not true.

      It usually depends on where you buy it, the best solution are online shops.

Would you like to work in the Madarin Oriental?

-
I would not like to work in this hotel because I do not think that I could find common ground with people who come there. They come from a very eccentric entourage with a specific hierarchy of priorities. In my opinion most of guests place money in the foreground and believe that if you are rich you can get almost everything. My attitude is actually an opposite - I claim that there is plenty of things that are more valuable. The Mandarin Oriental is not a place for me because I do not think that I could get on well with its guests.

Ginger root

Obraz
Ginger's been known in many cultures for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can significantly improve immunity. Used in alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, for example it can prevent motion sickness or morning sickness during pregnancy. Ginger also enhances nutrient absorption. It can reduce various types of muscle pain, e.g. muscle soreness and is also said to significantly relieve menstrual cramps. Due to a high volatile acids (antibacterial and antiviral) content, it strengthens the body's defence mechanisms. Personally, I use ginger most often when I'm sick, as it helps fight infections. Next to the volatile acids, it contains a lot of vitamin C and minerals. The easiest way to use it (especially when you're sick and do not have energy to do anything more advanced) is making ginger infused water - some people call it 'ginger tea'.. However, to extract as much as possible from the root, eat it with a high-protein meal. https://www.livestrong.c

Taste the World Festival

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00082dp The podcast is a relation from a culinary event where music and dance play an important role. It shows an amazing relation between food and culture if various ethnic groups from different parts of the world. In today's world, in the era of globalization, we can try different countries' cuisine without travelling further than to the city centre. It is an amazing opportunity to broaden one's cultural horizons and eat some delicious and extraordinary foods. However, I think it would be a huge loss for us if we gave up all the historical and sometimes even philosophical aspects of ethnic food. Originally, the process of preparing a dish might have been long and complexed and many 'oriental' restaurants, omnipresent in the streets of most western cities, just deprive their meals of the initial meaning and just play with foreign spices. Obviously, it does not mean that all the things we eat have to be authentic and have a spirit
