Busy Bee Health Essentials 1: The Importance of Nutrition

The Importance of Nutrition 1. What are nutrients? (The basics in short): nutrients are the building blocks your body needs to function well. There are five important nutrient categories: protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals. A sixth might be considered as well. This is water (however: water = minerals). Why is nutrition so important? I believe we all know it but don't have the time or consciously take the time to consider what it means to eat healthily or take care of your body's nutritional requirement. I'll try to make it short. 1. The correct nutrition is important to keep your body healthy. Hint! Healthy might sound a bit vague considering how much information is available on the internet.

Busy Bee Meal Prep Sunday (20. January 2019)

Image
It's Monday! Let's get started with a quick overview of what yesterday's meal prep looked like! An explanation first: I have more time in the weekend (and more help) then during the week. This means Sunday it's meal prep day at my house. We usually start about 16:00 and are done by 18:00 - 18:30. This means two hours of cooking and we'll have food for the rest of the week.

These are almost all the animal proteins we used. I also added plant protein in the form of red lentils (not shown on this picture) to one dish. The rest are all the vegetables (minus one hiding cauliflower that I couldn't find at the time). All that's missing here are ...

How to make Busy-Bee Kimchi (And Why)

Image
This one is a Busy Bee Favourite. Kimchi is easy to make and delicious. It'll also keep about a week and it's an incredibly healthy snack or side dish. The health benefits are plenty (as with all fermented food). The most important of them are: healthy bacteria that'll help your gut (especially digestion) and vitamin overload. Kimchi has a ridiculous amount of vitamins such as C and A. It also has fiber and useful minerals. In the Busy-Bee version you only need a few ingredients. Chinese Cabbage Salt Sriracha Garlic cloves Onion (white) Fish Sauce Red Pepper Flakes 2 Radishes 3 Carrots 1. The first thing you do is to cut the cabbages into bite-sized pieces (or however you want them). While you cut you can (not a must) put the already-cut pieces into a bowl with cold water to make them open up for the salt in the second step. 2. The second thing you do is to salt the cabbage pieces. You want the water out. Put the cabbage pieces into an enormous bowl (...
