What is strictly forbidden in Kosher foods?

We all know that Kosher foods are the foods consumed by the Jewish people, which meet the requirements of their religion, but how much do we actually know about Kosher foods? What are the foods that Jewish individuals cannot eat? Why is that the case? Here is a brief rundown of the foods that are forbidden to be consumed under Kosher law.

First we will look at meat. Kosher meat must comply with a number of rules under Jewish dietary law. The only types of meat that can be consumed are cattle and game that has cloven hooves and, in the word of the Torah, “chew the cud”. If for example the animal only qualifies for one of these, like the pig for example, then its meat cannot be consumed. Animals that are Kosher are bulls, sheep, lambs, goats, veal, springbok and cows. When the animal is slaughtered, it must be done under the supervision of a Kosher Supervisor. The carcass must be have the blood removed, as well as the veins and the skin. To do this the meat is trebered, then soaked in a bath, then put on special salting tables for an hour on each side.

For birds, the only birds that can be consumed are goose, duck, chick and turkey.

All dairy products must come from Kosher animals and it must not contain any additives that are not Kosher.

One interesting Kosher rule is that it is against dietary law to combine meat and milk. According to the Torah, you cannot cook a young animal in the milk of its mother. As such, milk and meat products can never be mixed together, whether it is cooking them together, or serving them together at the table.

Eggs are allowed, but not if they contain eggs, so all eggs must be examined individually.

Only fish with fins and scales can be consumed, which includes tuna, herring and salmon. Lobster, crab, mussels and shrimp cannot be consumed.

Why Should You Eat Tahini?

Tahini is a unique dish that is foreign to many in Western countries, but it has been consumed in India and the Middle East for centuries. It is a simple paste, made from whole sesame seed, that has a great many health benefits for the body. There are many reasons why you should be eating Tahini, and these are just a few.

The first major reason is the fact that it is full of minerals that the body needs including lecithin, potassium, iron, phosphorus and magnesium. It is also a huge source of methionine, which helps your liver detox your body, which in turn keeps you healthy and happy.

Our bones need calcium and a lack of calcium can cause severe problems in our old age. As such, Tahini is a great dish for getting calcium back into the body as it is a big source of it. It is also a big source of vitamin E, B1, B2, B3, B5 and B15.

Studies done on Tahini have also found that it can promote healthy cell growth in the body, which is important for keeping us healthy and looking young. On a similar note, it can prevent anemia from developing while also maintaining healthy skin and muscle tone in the body.

One major benefit from Tahini is the fact that it is made up of 20 per cent protein. This actually gives it a higher amount of protein per serving than you get from nuts, and you can use Tahini in so many dishes that nuts are not a part of. While it is high in protein, it is very easy for the body to digest because it has a very high alkaline mineral content. This in turn can help you lose weight because of how easy it is for the human body to digest.

Tahini is also very high in unsaturated fat, which is the good fat that helps to clear your arteries and keep you healthy.

So, try a dish of Tahini today and start feeling healthy immediately!

Know What You Buy

When you go to the grocery store, it can be very easy to just buy what you think you will enjoy, without looking at the ingredients. Often, you choose what will taste good, even if it is bad for you. Our brains are wired for immediate gratification and we get more of an immediate gratification from eating something like chocolate chip cookies instead of an organic pear. It can be hard to fight this, but it is important that we choose not to eat food that is bad for us, and bad for the environment.

Processed foods taste great, but have you looked at the ingredients? They are not exactly made for consumption. Here is a tip, if you can’t pronounce what the ingredient is, you probably shouldn’t be ingesting it. Yes, it tastes great, but there is a huge amount of bad stuff in it that can really harm your body over the course of time.

You need to have the willpower to choose good real food that is organic. Real food is food that is just that, real. It is food you can eat right off the tree, without having to mix anything with it. It is organic, and it is good for you and good for the environment. The world is going through an obesity epidemic right now, and a big part of that is the processed food we keep putting into our bodies. Those processed foods stay with our body, in our fatty tissue, slowly harming us. Sure, sometimes eating a Twinkie tastes much better than eating a plum, but in the long run, the plum is going to do you a lot more good than if you are eating the Twinkie. Ya, you can have bad food on occasion, but your diet should be good food, that is organic. You need to know what you are buying, and what you are eating. It can do a lot to help you lose weight and feel healthier for many years to come.

Why Go Organic?

You have probably heard a lot about going organic but is it something that you should do? Organic food tends to cost more, so many may not think it is worth the cost as a result. Should you pay the cost? The short answer is yes, going organic is certainly worth whatever higher cost you pay. In addition, organic food is becoming cheaper and cheaper, so cost is becoming less of a concern with each passing year.

Why should you consider going organic?

The first reason is that it is good for you. Organic food is free of harmful pesticides and herbicides. There are no chemicals used, and that keeps you from ingesting chemicals into your body. Organic food cannot use chemicals, or else it is not organic. When you have organic, you keep only natural ingredients in your body, no chemicals.

The second reason is that it is good for the environment. Algae dead zones are appearing throughout the world were rivers meet seas and oceans. These areas are empty of oxygen, which causes many species to die. Chemicals from agricultural are to blame, so by buying organic items, you are preventing that from happening. You are also protecting native habitats, and keeping species from suffering from the chemicals being used in the area to grow crops. Organic protects land, water, and the air. It keeps the environment healthy, by using proper practices that help crops grow without the need for chemicals. It could be said that organic is much more natural than any other type of practice, and the best for the environment and you.

The third reason for organic is that it is just the way we are supposed to eat food. We should never have to wash our fruits and vegetables before eating them, that is not natural. Organic is the way food is supposed to be consumed.

Why Real Food Diets Are The Best

We all know that real food is the best food. When people go on a real food diet, they report feeling healthier, happier and better overall. There are many diets out there, and many may think that the real food diet is just another type of diet. Well, science has looked at every diet and the winner overall is real food.

Annual Reviews, a science publication, asked Dr. David Katz, the practising physician and researcher of Yale University’s Prevention Research Centre, to compare the medical evidence for and against every mainstream diet.

In the study, along with his colleague Stephanie Meller, he looked at the major diets of the day including low carb, vegan, Paleolithic, low fat, Mediterranean and more. Through the work, they found that the best diets were ones that focused mostly on plants, and were close to nature. These were the diets that focused on health promotion and disease prevention. The diets that did the best included fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grains, nuts and seeds.

As Dr. Katz stated, it doesn’t help to pick the most nutritious bread or pasta sauce. He goes on to say that you need to eat food direct from nature. By eating foods close to nature, or real foods, you end up not having to worry about trans fat or saturated fat or salt. Most salt comes from processed food, not people adding salt. He states that if you focus on real food, nutrients will take care of themselves.

This is why real food is so good for you. You are eating food that is not processed, that is healthy and close to nature. You are getting the nutrients and ingredients your body needs, and you are ensuring that you life will be a healthy one. By eliminating the harmful chemicals, trans fats, salt and more from your diet, your weight will go down, your body will feel healthy and you can remove 80 per cent of the risk of chronic illnesses in your life.
