15 Foods to improve your Memory & Mood

29/10/2016

0 Comments

 

Really interesting article about natural, healthy foods that can boost your brain power, memory mood and health! you can find, explore and enjoy these at The Pantry 8020 in our new Autumn Menu and in our Whole foods Store.

15 BRAIN-BOOSTING FOODS  Pack your diet with my top 15 and banish the bad five and you’ll be on your way to optimum brain health.

LEAFY GREENS
(kale, rocket, watercress and spinach)
Full of vitamins (C, K and the Bs) as well as minerals (calcium, potassium, copper, magnesium, folate, manganese and zinc) plus fibre and many plant nutrients.

OILY COLD WATER FISH
(salmon, mackerel, herring)
These are all the best possible direct source of healthy brain fats called omega 3 essential fats.

GRASS-FED BEEF, MUTTON AND LAMB 
Another great source of brain fats when eaten in moderation.

NUTS 
(pecans, walnuts, macadamias, almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts)
A great source of good fats plus protein and brain nutrients such as selenium, in Brazil nuts specifically. OLIVE OIL 
(organic and cold pressed)
Contains antioxidants and brain healthy plant chemicals.

SEEDS
(flaxseed, sunflower and sesame seeds, chia seeds)
A rich source of plant essential fatty acid (EFA), containing omega 3 oils and lignans, phytochemicals that act as good hormone imitators and antioxidants.

COCONUT OIL 
Contains a beneficial saturated fat plus anti-microbial and anti-fungal and anti-viral function.

AVOCADOS
Packed with vitamins, fibre, minerals and mostly mono-unsaturated fats.

COLOURFUL VEGETABLES 
(sweet potato, pepper, carrot, tomato)
Their rich colour indicates high anti-oxidant content, and they are also sources of fibre, minerals, enzymes and plant nutrients.

​BRASSICAS
(broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage)
Have phyto-chemicals that stimulate our enzyme defences against cancer, plus minerals and vitamins.

ARTICHOKE
 
Great for a big punch of fibre and detox nutrients. Also acts as a prebiotic (provides food for bacteria in our gut).

LEGUMES
 
(lentils, peas and beans)
In addition to vitamins and minerals, they contain lignins, also known as phyto-estrogens, which protect against different forms of cancer, as well as balancing hormone levels. Low in fat and high in fibre.

GLUTEN-FREE GRAINS

(quinoa, millet, amaranth, basmati rice)
Rich in vitamins and minerals plus protein.

SPROUTED GRAINS

Nutrient-dense brain superfoods we should eat every day. 
When a seed, grain or pulse has germinated, its nutritional value rises so there is 60 per cent more vitamin C and 30 per cent more B vitamins in a sprouted seed, grain or pulse. 
They also contain large amounts of protein and vitamin E, as well as phosphorous and potassium. 
Sprouting makes these nutrients highly digestible.

BERRIES 
(blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
True brain superfoods, colourful berries contain antioxidant power to protect the brain from ageing plus an anti- inflammatory and ellagic acid, which is a unique compound that a number of experts say could help to protect the body against cancer. "

...AND WHAT TO AVOID 

FRIED FOODS

(chicken nuggets, fried chicken, chips and crisps).

REFINED CARBOHYDRATES

(sweets, pastries, biscuits, cakes and milk chocolate).

FIZZY DRINKS  

(full sugar or diet versions).

ALCOHOL

Excess has been linked to poor brain function.

​CHEMICALS 

Meat, fruit and vegetables that have been subject to a heavy chemical or pesticide load. 
Pesticides accumulate in our fatty cell membranes and, with a brain made up of 60 per cent fat, it’s best to avoid these toxins.  "If you’ve ever gone ‘low fat’ in the interests of weight loss, there’s every chance you suffered from low mood, possibly depression, as a consequence."

Be a superhero today!

Have you heard of Matcha yet?

We all know how amazingly good for you Green Tea is, so imagine a super concentrated dose of 100% organic green tea leaves ground into a fine powder. It's packed with antioxidants and slow releasing energy.

We use the best by Tea Pigs, and we are excited to announce our new gorgeous Matcha Latte made with Almond milk and sweetened with Agave Nectar. Our chief Kate couldn't believe the difference it made to her energy whilst working out at her usual class Boxercise with Taylored To Fitness in Epworth. 

"I personally love to work out in the morning and often find it hard to commit to after a long day, but after a Matcha latte this morning I felt amazing all day and couldn't believe how much more power and energy I had boxing this the evening."

​Now serving @ The Pantry 8020, Misterton. You'll love it!

Eat healthy like the Greek - The Organic life!

22/7/2016

0 Comments

Our Greek Meze Platter proves to be a popular Pantry choice on the “Eighties” menu. Here's why we love it, beyond it being just a great sharing board!

Firstly, the research…

Researchers first started studying the diets and health of people who live along the Mediterranean Sea over 50 years ago. Today, the health benefits of this eating style are widely known — including a longer life, improved brain function, better eye health, decreased risk of heart disease, and improved arthritis. 
Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that about 30% of deaths from heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes could be prevented in high-risk populations if individuals switched to a Mediterranean diet. The findings were so compelling that the study ended early (after 5 years), as it was considered unethical to continue.
One of the major benefits of the diet is its effect on inflammation.  Chronic inflammation is a condition that is thought to contribute to many diseases. The Mediterranean diet is rich in monounsaturated fats (found in olive oil, nuts and seeds), which may reduce inflammation in the body.

So…How to eat like the Greek!

The traditional Mediterranean diet includes many key foods that promote heart health.  

Eat 5+ serving of fruits, vegetables and legumes
Vegetables play a major role in traditional Greek meals. In this region, people eat an average of 6+ produce servings each day. Western diets are typically lacking in produce. 
Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupins, mesquite, carob, soybeans, peanuts, and tamarind

Choose healthy fats
Olive oil is the main fat used in Greece. If olive oil is not for you, try adding whole olives to salads or snacks for extra healthy fat. Our new love affair is with Rapeseed oil, half the sat fat of Olive oil. Nuts are also encouraged in balanced portions due to their beneficial effects fighting heart disease. 

Select whole grains
Grains in this region are typically whole grains and contain little added trans fat and sugar. Unlike western regions, bread is not served with butter, but rather dipped in heart healthy olive oil. 

Include fish and shellfish
Fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce inflammation. Oily fish, such as tuna, herring, sardines and salmon, are excellent sources of omega-3 fats. Aim for at least 2-3 servings per week for optimal benefits. 

If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation
You may think that drinking large portions of wine is part of the Mediterranean lifestyle, but moderation is key. 

Eat less meat
Traditionally, meat is eaten infrequently and in small portions in this region of the world. Unlike western diets, meat is not the main focus of the meal. Eggs or legumes are regularly served in place of meat. 

Go for minimally-processed foods
Exactly what our philosophy at The Pantry is all about. The Mediterranean diet emphasizes minimally-processed, whole foods. Choose local, fresh produce when possible. Flavour meals with spices and herbs rather than jars of sauce and sugar. 

A Mediterranean shopping list
  • Fish and shellfish: Clams, crab, halibut, lobster, mussels, salmon, scallops, shrimp, sole, trout, tuna
  • Fruit (fresh, dried, frozen, or canned without sugar): apples, bananas, berries, cherries, citrus, dates, figs, grapes, melons, nectarines, peaches, pears, pomegranates
  • Vegetables: artichokes, asparagus, avocados, beets, peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, celery, sweetcorn, cucumbers, aubergine, fennel, green beans, green leafy vegetables, lettuce, mushrooms, olives, onions, peas, potatoes, radishes, squash, tomatoes, turnips
  • Grains: barley, brown rice, buckwheat, bulgur, oatmeal, quinoa, whole grain.
  • Legumes, nuts, and seeds: almonds, black-eyed peas, cashews, chickpeas, cannellenni beans, haricot beans, hazelnuts, kidney beans, lentils, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, split peas, walnuts
  • Herbs and spices (fresh or dried): basil, chili powder, chilies, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, dill, garlic, ginger, fennel seed, marjoram, mint, nutmeg, oregano, parsley, pepper (black or red), rosemary, saffron, sage, tarragon, thyme
  • Oils: extra-virgin olive oil, rapeseed oil (our favourite) and high quality oils

Lemon Chia Energy Balls

6/6/2016

0 Comments

 
As a little thank you for all the amazing comments about our quick, easy, fun family recipes we wanted to share with you our latest video to demonstrate the Lemon Chia Energy Balls.

​This recipe was invented especially for the lovely ladies who came to the Isle Lose It Women's Health And Wellbeing Event. After being in Dubai I discovered pure, food grade Lemon Oil and couldn't wait to try some. We will be selling this in The Pantry 8020 shop, but you could just use grated lemon rind for the same effect. I have to say though, the pure concentrated organic lemon oil is unbelievable!


You will need:
1 large mug dates 
1/2 mug almonds/cashews
1/3 mug chia seeds
1/2 mug desiccated pure coconut (save some for dusting)
5-6 drops lemon oil (to taste, mine comes out in little drops so you may only need 4)
To make:
Blitz the dates and nuts until they form a rubble. Add the rest to the processor and pulse ir mix slowly until incorporated. Try not to over blend so you loose the texture and crunch.
Roll into little round shaped bites and roll on the left over dissociate coconut. 
P.s these are so much better kept in the fridge. Take to work for snacks, or have them pre workout.
