Lim inn her =) =Five spectacular facts about food you’ve never heard about=

//A recently published study is shocking the society. It says that the Elizabethan people are far too unhealthy and:”They’ve no idea about what they should eat and how much.” That’s why the Tudor Tattler” now gives you five facts about food you’ve never heard about, but which can help you get more healthy.//

1. Eat raw vegetables Although some medical texts advise against eating raw vegetables, new studies say the opposite. Scientists allege that people should consider eating more raw vegetables, such as tomatoes. They are very good for skin and hair. They also say that the medical texts which claim that vegetables cause evil humours, and tomatoes are poisonous, have no approved sources. The “Tudor Times” found out that vegetables, such as tomatoes are frequently used in the European kitchen. But if you find tomatoes doubtful, you can also try onions, leeks, turnips, radishes and parsnips.

2. Don’t eat rotten food Owing to the study, you should stop adding sugar, salt and spice to the meat to overtone the taste of rotten meat. Actually no rotten food should be eaten. This is directly dangerous, because food is pathogenic and allergenic when it is rotten. To the utmost it can be deathly. This is a big problem because adding spice and salt to old meat has always been a common way of making it eatable. But if you or someone in your family is sick, this could be the reason.

3. Eat less meat Now at day, we eat a lot meat. Pigeon, goose, beef and lamb are just some examples. Often this is almost all a meal consists of. But too much meat isn’t good for our bodies. We get fat and dull of eating too much of it. That’s why we suggest that the meat should make about a third of the whole meal.

4. Eat more fruits Fruits are very healthy. The easiest way is to eat them as they are, raw. Another opportunity to use fruits is when cooking the meat. Just mix some of them in the cauldron. This leads to a mix of sweet and savoury and is already very popular among some people. Fruits, such as apples and plums are eaten, but they should get more common, people are still very suspicious, and prefer eating bread among with the meat instead. This has to change. We therefore recommend buying apples, plums, strawberries, cherries and pears the next time you or you’re servants are on the marked.

5. Eat infrequent sweets Elizabethan people are very fond of desserts. And now at day, we can choose between numerous appetizing variants, such as cakes, cream, pastries and syrup. But food like marzipan and crystallized fruits is very unhealthy, both for teeth and body. And although black teeth are in fashion right now, we should be careful. Rotten teeth cause a lot of pain. Sweets once a week should be sufficient.
