The Chopping Block: Canola Oil vs. Coconut Oil

The Chopping Block: Canola Oil vs. Coconut Oil

 Welcome to: Living Better Cafe, post called: The Chopping Block. The Chopping Block will give you, the history behind two similar products, one that's not healthy, and that's healthier for you.

  We know your geared and ready to, pull out the mixing bowls and etc... After years of watching grandma in the kitchen,should have taught you something. Especially, when it comes to baking. Like using cooking oils. Instead of Lard.

 What's the difference between Canola Oil and Coconut Oil? They may have some similarities between them. For instance, both obtain fat from plant sources, and carry similar number of calories per serving.

 Living Better Cafe, is now weighting out the difference, in the huge fat debate. Canola Oil pertains 61 percent Monounsaturated fat, 32 percent Polyunsaturated fat, and let's not forget about: Omega 6 and Omega 3, and 7 percent saturated fat. In reality, coconut oil has 11.8 grams of saturated fat per Tablespoon, if you were to total it up, that would be around 90 percent saturated fat.

 The battle does not stop there, it's time to battle it out with the benefits. What benefits? The Monounsaturated fats. Living Better Cafe says: you heard correctly, the good side of fat, and let's make that Mono-delicious.

According to WebMD, Canola Oil is said to be one of the oils for heart health. Made from crushed canola seeds,[the seed has less saturated fat than any other oil being used in the United States.] Canola Oil carries 7% saturated fat, compared to 9% for sunflower oil,13% for corn oil, [ and 12% for coconut oil.] Coconut Oil does carry a high levels of saturated fats. But, it's plant-based saturated fat found in unrefined coconut. Let's go clean and talk refine, the cleanest form. These natural form helps with burning fat, and give energy for: your body and brain. Looking to raise the cholesterol levels, coconut oil is the best oil to cook with --- in small amount, 2 Tbsp at the least per day.

  Living Better Cafe, found reaching this verdict, very easy pease. Here's why, when it comes to Canola Oil, you have one unhealthy fat, Omega 6. Eating too much Omega 6, causes blood pressure to raise, along with heart attack and stroke. Therefore, Coconut Oil is very low in Omega 6 and high in Omega 3. The benefits of Omega 3 helps with brain function. Like, Epilepsy and Alzheimer's to name a few.

  Did you know that, Coconut Oil also works great outside of your kitchen space? We are talking skin care. Living Better Cafe, now taking you out of your kitchen space, into the beauty salon, Coconut Oil is great moisturizer for the skin, and hair. It also cut eczema symptoms. Are out of toothpaste? use coconut oil for oil pulling and mouthwash.

 Therefore, no reason we chose Coconut Oil over Canola Oil.

The The Chopping Block: Navy vs. Great Northern Beans

  Welcome to: Living Better Cafe, post called: The Chopping Block. The Chopping Block will give you, the history behind two similar products, one that's not so healthy, and one that is healthier for you.

  We all can relate to a good hearty bowl of beans. Especially, on a cold wintery day, sitting cozy under a warm blanket, with a hot bowl of chili and hot cup of cocoa.

  Today Living Better Cafe, is here to serve you a hot bowl of beans soup on this cold fall day. We're serving Navy and Great Northern bean soup.

  To sort or not to sort the bean's? Sorting out the bean's is a definite must--- you'll have debris in your pot of stew. And we should all know this by now. Especially, if you have watched grandma in the kitchen, she always sorted out her beans. You should always sort out your too.

  Let's clear up the confusion about Navy beans and Great Northern. So, you don't over heat and break a sweat. What's the difference between Navy and Great Northern beans? They do have some similarly, and that's the color. But, Navy beans are smaller and take a longer time to cook, were as Great Northern's are bigger and take less time.  What are the health benefits of Navy beans? Beans offer multiple health benefits. Like, protein, important vitamin. For instance, Zinc, Iron, Magnesium, Fiber, Antioxidants.  And they help with cardiovascular problem. Plus, cut the risk of cancer, Diabetes. And help with liver function. Do you have the urge to crave more food? Fixing yourself a bowl of beans, can help you control, your appetite and even improve your gut health.

  What's the side effects of eating beans? Eating raw or undercook (al dente style) can lead to food poisoning. Reason being is because of the plant lectin known as phytohae hemagglutinin a chemical known to cause agglutination of mammalian red blood cells. How will I know the symptoms? Living Better Cafe says: with each person may differ. But, these are the symptoms to look for, nausea and vomiting followed by diarrhea or abdominal pain. Do keep in mind that: some people may have allergic reactions to some. Like, some people are allergic to: tree nuts.

  Here's the bottom line to, Navy and Great Northern Beans, we covered Navy and Great Northern Beans all in one pot. And noticed the only difference is: their size and cooking time. But, everything else is the same.

And their diet consist of: Legumes, Fruits and Vegetables, Nuts and Grains. And let's not forget: Soy. However, they are still receiving protein enriched foods. But, it's not from any animal source. 

The Vegan Dairy 

We have broken down, what is Veganism. But, we haven't given you all the proper source. Like, Dairy. Living Better Cafe knows actually, what's going through your mind: Dairy comes from animals. But, if people who are vegans, how are they receiving their daily dose of calcium? great question! Vegans unlike everyone else, gets their daily dose of calcium from, plant based on food. Like, Vegetables and Nuts. You know like, Almond and Cashew milk. Plus many other sources. So, vegans are not missing out on their daily dose of calcium. 

What are the benefits of eating a vegan diet, and is it right for me? Once again, Living Better Cafe isn't your certified dietitian, nor physician. So, we can't write you out any prescription. But, we can give you the benefits of this diet.  Living Better Cafe, has listed six benefits of this diet. Before we just jump right into it, how about a little known fact?

  This diet also may help with type 2 diabetes and  certain types of cancers.

The Chopping Block: Buckwheat flour Vs. Gluten-free All-purpose flour

  Welcome to: Living Better Cafe, post called: The Chopping Block. The Chopping Block will give you, the history behind two similar products, one that not so healthy, and one that is healthier for you.

  We all have that one story to share, about Grandma baking in the kitchen. Especially, when you know she's making, your favorite bake good. And you prepare yourself to: help grandma with baking. Like, cleaning out the mixing bowl with your fingers. So, once you're done with helping, you can gather around the table to enjoy it.

  

Today Living Better Cafe, bring you the scoop on: Buckwheat flour and all-purpose gluten-free flour.

  

 What's all the sifting about? All flours are not the same and, there is a difference in texture and taste as well. Especially, when it comes to Gluten--free flour. Since we are on the gluten-free van wagon, let's talk about the difference between buckwheat and all-purpose gluten-free flour.

  

Buckwheat flour has a nutty texture and it includes your essential amino acids and it's quite versatile. What is buckwheat? A fruit that's related closely to wild Rhubarb. And it's sometimes called Pseudo cereal, quite interesting hey, you say? Exactly! Living Better Cafe got confused as well. But, we have it all figured out, and you will also. What type of nutrients are found in buckwheat? Antioxidants--- like Rutin, Tannins and Catechin. In fact buckwheat considered a super food. And the major benefits of this particular super food is that it has amino acids, which helps lower cholesterol, and helps improve digestion, like constipation.

  

  Let's keep calm when you read; All purpose gluten--free flour...it not like all-purpose wheat flour because it does not content any source of wheat. Plus, the texture is different. What's gluten--free all-purpose flour made of? The ingredients in making all-purpose gluten-free flour varies...once again it's not wheat. So, what's the benefits? with each ingredient  there are different benefits. For instance, brown rice flour, helps lower blood sugar levels, reduce body weight and protect against heart disease. Therefore, it all falls back on what it's made from.

  

Living Better Cafe says, the verdict  been reached and, which Gluten-free flour, do we use in the kitchen? We use different varieties...we know each flour has different benefits. So, there was no bad food in this case.

   Happy Journey To Living Better 🍵

The Chopping block: Sea salt vs. Himalayan salt

Welcome to: Living Better Cafe, new post called: the chopping block. The chopping block will give you, the history behind two similar products, one that's not so healthy, and one that is healthier for you. 

  What's the difference between Sea Salt and Himalayan salt? The differences between Sea salt and Himalayan salt is the taste, texture and how it's processed.

  Sea salt is produce from evaporation of the ocean water or lakes, and with little process. Depending on the water source, this leaves behind certain traces of minerals and elements. Why does it leave traces of minerals? Minerals add flavor and color to Sea salt, which comes in different varieties of coarseness levels.

  Himalayan salt, however, comes from rock crystals of salt that been mined from different locations, and mainly from the Himalayan, often from Pakistan. What's with the color of Himalayan salt? Its hue from trace minerals found in the salt, like magnesium, potassium and calcium.

 Living Better Cafe, is now here to give you, both sides of: Sea salt and Himalayan salt, it's time to lay out the side effects. We get that salt is salt, regardless of the different types. But, they all have one thing in common, Sodium Chloride, and that's we're the side effects come in... the electrolyte imbalance, which are the ions that live in our bodily fluids that keeps us fueled, and make sure our bodies, are properly functioning. For instance, nerve impulses and heart beat.

When consuming too much sodium, causes potassium levels to drop and so forth.

   

  Which one is better for you? Himalayan salt without a doubt... Himalayan salt has more beneficial minerals than Sea salt. Your container of Sea salt, has 72 particles, and Himalayan salt has 84 essential element that: your body needs. But, don't be so quick to jump, for any Himalayan salt... not all Himalayan salt is the real deal. What? There are some, Himalayan salt, imposters. And to tell if your Himalayan salt is real, Pakistan right on the pack.

Now let's get to the coloring of this salt, Himalayan salt comes in: various colors from White to Pink. However, to spot out the imposters, they have added food dye. Not saying that: Black Himalayan salt doesn't exist, it does, just be aware of the labels... If Pakistan is not on there, you have burned fuel.

  Therefore, can you see the difference between the two? Living Better Cafe, hope you have  chosen to live Better.

Living Better Cafe is here to, bring you wholesome information that will serve your mind, and body good. Living Better Café mindset is, to help you with a better outlook on what you are placing into your body. Like, what is the benefits of what your eating, and how is it helping your system, in the long run. Coffee Talk is just not a blog, it's also an online food resource site, where if you have any food related questions, I Katrina Smith can help you find the answers. Therefore, you can leave your questions here on this page, or you can send them through Private message and, I Katrina Smith will be there to help you with an answer, as soon as I can.
Today Living Better Cafe is bring you an article, or a video that will serve your body good, as it will help fill up your mind with informative details, to support you and your body to a better health. I Katrina Smith will leave you by saying: "Know your food before taking the first bite."

First Living Better Cafe wants to say that, a lot of research has been place into what you are about to read. As Katrina Knows that what we consume on a daily basis, is not always healthy for us. And that's why Living Better Cafe is bring you this written article by no other person. But, Katrina Smith herself.

When it comes to cooking, or grabbing for something to eat. We really do not think about whats all in our food, all we truly care about is: " I am hungry and my system needs nutrients". But, beyond all that, we truly need to stop and read food labels. Especially, for those who have food allergies. And Living Better Cafe wants everyone to Live Happy and Healthy, Otherwise, Katrina would not be sitting down at her desk written this moment to you, about this subject. So, Today Living Better Cafe will be talking about Hydrogenated oils.
First if you're in the grocery store now, and shopping while reading this article. "PLEASE" do yourself and Living Better Cafe a favor, read the back of the product you have in your hand. Katrina bets that one of the ingredients, you just came across was Hydrogenated Oil. But, did you know that Hydrogenated oil is not healthy at all. Yes! Living Better Cafe has said it: "Not Healthy". And Living Better Cafe will explain why it's not healthy for you, and then allow you to make that decision for yourself.

So, to help you out a bit, Living Better Cafe, and of course the creator has done some researching, and pull up this for you. As what you will be reading is all facts which is very help for you, and for those you care about. Therefore, Living Better Cafe and Katrina will never leave you down the wrong path. Especially, if we know whats good for you.
Now what better way to start , by asking you a question, and that is, Do you know what Hydrogenated oils are? if you do not then Living Better Cafe is here to explain them to you. Hydrogenated oils are: unnatural fats that is in your food, the oils that can cause you and your body harm. Scary eh!, why when Katrina started researching this for you, She herself seem a bit shocked about it to. But, it was not as a big shock as you may think because she knew just a bit, and now Katrina knows more now. Therefore, Living Better Cafe now wants to go a bit deeper into the What is Hydrogenated oils.

When it comes to Hydrogenation, it's a process that is a liquid of unsaturated fat that is then turned into a solid form. So, during this process its called trans fat. The fats that seem to become the biggest HYPE in the food industries these days, and the most leading cause of diseases. Especially, the one we all seem to become familiar with, and Living Better Cafe does not say this with pride because Cancer is not good, no matter what way you look at it. Therefore, Hydrogenated oils can affect your Heart health because they are the ones, that increases your bad levels in cholesterol, which is your (LDL) and lower your good cholesterol levels, which is your (HDL).

Now this leads Living Better Cafe in another direction, and yes you're wondering where? Living Better Cafe is going to take you down the culprit food aisle. You heard, The foods that Big H is hiding in, and think we can not find him/her.

* Margarine
* Vegetable shortening
* Packaged foods
* Baked good and get this even (homemade), sound even scarier. Especially, when you are trying to stay healthy because you know whats going into your food.
* Fried foods, Including those fast food restaurants.
* Do you want creamier in your coffee, or tea. Sorry no thank you Sir/madam.

Now, what is the best solution to your problem, that is the question and Living Better Cafe is going to take you there. Let's say as we speak. As for many years you have heard Margarine is the healthiest option, well as Living Better Cafe has always been posting the word: "Margarine", Katrina has found out that, saying No to Margarine is better because it has Big H in the ingredients. So, What is the healthier version to cook with? Olive Oil, that's right Olive oil or other oils. Like, Safflower oil and canola oil etc. And the best way to cook your food is, to bake or broil your food, which cuts back on the trans fat and calories. But, Living Better Cafe and Katrina would have to beg to differ on the calories end. But, that's a whole different story there.

So, until next time, continue to keep smiling because you chose to live better!

First Living Better Café wants to say that, a lot of research has been place into what you are about to read. As Katrina Knows to well about some of these issues, and that's why Living Better Café is bring you this written article by no other person. But, Katrina Smith herself.

However, you and me constantly keep hearing the saying, "You are what you eat" Eh! So, does that make vegetarians, vegetables and diary, and vegans vegetables to? excluding animal diary out of the picture. Why of course, Living Better Café has not forgotten about, the meat eaters. So, What the heck ? we all eat food despite of our diet choice. But, the question here is, Are we gluten sensitive? And the only way to really answer that question is, by first asking what is gluten? Because once you find out what gluten is, then you can ask Are we gluten sensitive? Therefore, let Living Better Café , give you the answer to what is gluten and follow-up on Are we gluten sensitive.

Okay now so, you want to know what is gluten? and the answer is pretty simply, sticky "Protein". But, that does not really say very much about what gluten is. Let me clearly explain what gluten is, and we can go straight from there. Yes! Gluten is protein. But, it's a different type of protein found in wheat, which is also found in other products. Like, you may have seen on food products "May Contain Wheat" * Hint Gluten.

Now that lead you and including myself further away from the next question because many other questions begin to form, in our head about gluten. But, do not worry we will get to the bottom of it after all. However, you now know what gluten is, but did you know it affects some of us in different ways? Surprising Hey!

Did you know that gluten is a major cause in our health problems, and to some you just thought it has been passed down from your generation. Yes some of these conditions could have been in your generation line, and to some of us, the health problem was by eating gluten.

Living Better Café got a question for you. First how many of you consume process foods on a daily basis? A lot! and did you know that gluten also acts as a preservative? Yes! so that makes it hard to get away from. Now, here is the answer to what we all have waited for, and that is, Are we gluten sensitive? well for some yes because gluten has been linked to multiple, health issues, as Living Better Café, will name a few.

Neurological disorders

Such as, Severe headaches, Autism and Behavioral problems.

Autoimmune diseases

Such as, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, Osteomalacia, Arthritis and Diabetes. And why of course, Thyroid diseases.

Digestive disorders

Like, Celiac, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD), Heart Burn, Ulcers and Giardiasis And yes they can cause undiagnosed diseases and other conditions as well.

Like, CFS and Fibromyalgia, Anemia, Asthma, Unexplained weight loss (or Gain), Cardiomyopathy and Chronic Infections.

So, you never through eating could cause so many problem, as it can cause good. And the creator of this food resource blog through the same thing to. Well thanks to educating one other. Therefore, we both know now. Continue to know your food before taking, the first bite.🍵
