Kiwi

-
 Kiwifruit, originally 'Chinese gooseberry', comes from China, but a few years ago it has become available in most shops. Since then, it is gaining popularity for its unusual taste and properties, that are actually still being discovered and tested. It is considered to be one of the most nutrient-dense fruits.
One medium fruit covers the recommended intake of vitamin C twice. Kiwi is advised for people who want to improve their digestion, mainly because its high content of fiber (measured in the 'green part' but actually the richest source of it is the skin and some people are not aware that it is edible and really healthy). Another advantage is that it improves skin, lightens dark under-eye circles and minimizes pores. It also influences respiratory system, kids are most vulnerable to its action. For example, it can help with asthma or even prevent it. It is also said to be able to stimulate cells reparation and slow down the process of ageing. 
The latest research has shown that kiwi consumption can significantly rise the quantity and quality of sleep. After a month of eating kiwi regularly it turned out that for people who participated in the experiment it was easier to fall asleep (more than 35% faster), they slept sounder, more efficient and they said that the quality of their sleep increased. If you want to know more about this research, the whole result is available here.

    When you write that "kids are most vulnerable to its action" you imply that the influence is negative, which is not true. Think of a better word which would have positive connotations.
    By the way, how can kiwi minimise pores? Does it happen when you eat it or when you apply it as a facial mask?

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

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
