I love nuts in every form. This is one of the healthier snacks – a great „emergency” meal in travel, when the only alternative is some fast food. They are caloric, but if you can limit yourself to a handful, they’ll repay a hundred times with the wealth of health properties. Nuts are very popular in the diet of […]
Vegetable and fruit cocktails are a brilliant invention – they’re full of vitamins, micronutrients and fiber, easily digestible and can be made of virtually everything.
