Digestive problems kill weight loss

Thu, May 08, 2014

Nothing is as devastating as digestive problems for your energy, health, and weight loss. Bloating, heartburn, indigestion, trapped wind, and more serious conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel, and diverticulitis can slow down or stop your weight loss no matter how much you diet or exercise.

Your digestive system is the master of everything. It is the king of your metabolism. Everything you are is made from the nutrients that you absorb or lose during digestion.

Teatime at Aniar

Thu, May 01, 2014

The idea of cooking with tea is nothing new, but the idea of making tea from entirely indigenous ingredients is part and parcel of the philosophy at Aniar. This is the basis of the new tasting menu introduced this week. As always, this is a menu dotted with native seaweeds, wild herbs, and berries, and reflects Aniar’s billing of itself as “a terroir-based restaurant”, a farm to table culinary experience. Terroir refers to the soil and climate imbuing food and wine with the flavours of a region and, as such, carries lots of potential for pretentiousness. This they somehow manage to avoid, this is traditional food made contemporary proving that profound truths can be spoken plainly.

He became known as Lord Haw Haw, a much hated figure.
