Detox diet is a short-term diet plan that usually lasts between 3 to 21 days. Its main objective is to flush out unwanted toxins from the body. The body is in a constant state of detoxification, but increased toxin levels as well as stress tend to slow down this process. As a result, the body stores up a lot of harmful toxins, and these contribute to the body’s vulnerability to diseases, weakened organ functions, aging, and inability to heal quickly.

You all know what cabbage is, I’m sure. It might be introduced to you through popular dishes such as coleslaw, sauerkraut, or kimchi.

While we enjoy eating cabbage through our favorite dishes (mine are chopsuey and pansit, by the way), are you aware that this vegetable has more to offer other than vitamins and nutrients?

There are more than 100 varieties of cabbage. Generally, almost all varieties are rich in vitamin C . Known varieties such as bok choy and savoy are good sources of calcium and are known to be cancer fighting foods because of their anti oxidant content.This is, without a doubt, a healthy food that you can always serve your family.

How to Lose Weight by Eating More Food

The problem of most people who want to lose weight is the deep desire to lose weight fast. This often leads to unworkable diet goals that deprive themselves from the foods that they enjoy. With this kind of mentality, most people often go back to their usual habits in a matter of a few weeks – gaining more weight instead of losing it.

Weight Loss does not necessarily mean cutting-down on food completely to burn body fats. Did you know that the few pounds you lost from your “lose weight fast” program might be coming from your muscles? Muscles have a large impact when it comes to losing weight. If you are not aware about this, let me emphasize that your muscle is responsible in burning more than 50 percent of fat in your body.

The main key in losing weight is to eat more food. However, some of the foods that you need to eat might not be the usual food in your regular diet. I am talking about healthy foods that are high in fiber and low in fat.

You have several choices when it comes to the food that you need to eat. Foods that are low in fat, high in fiber and high in water content are the ones that you should be eating.

Sinigang na Hipon is a Filipino main dish having shrimp as the main ingredient. Fresh Shrimps and vegetables are cooked by boiling in a sour broth. The commonly used souring agent is tamarind. However, other fruits such as guava, tomato, bilimbi (known as kamias), green mango, pineapple, and wild mangosteen (santol) can also be used.

Similar to the previous sinigang dishes that we featured (Sinigang na ulo ng Salmon and Pork Sinigang), This variation is eaten with rice and some fish sauce (patis) on the side. I usually cook this dish whenever I feel nostalgic or when the weather is pretty cold. Like today, the temperature is dropping again somewhat signaling for the coming of winter.

Try this comforting Sinigang na Hipon recipe.
