Our fabulous head nutritionist Ed van Tegelen has released his first book, Nutrition In The Kitchen. As those of you who have visited MV know, Ed is not only an absolute encycopedia of nutritional knowledge but he's also a creative genius with his food preparation (those who've tried the broth in recent years will attest to this, he can work miracles with it!) His book similarly combines nutritional knowledge with delicious recipes.
We are often quizzed by guests before they arrive regarding consumption of fruit juices where they have heard, read or been advised by a health care professional about Candida. Usually some time in the company of our nutritional genius Ed helps them to come to a more informed understanding, that it's not quite the universal 'bad' guy it's often painted out to be.
The food choices you make are a personal matter, which involves things like taste, culture, pleasure, community and health. Nowadays, there are lots of different opinions and schools of thought concerning diet, with often contradicting information. The one point of consensus being that eating more fruit and vegetables is good for your health.
