Easter is approaching. Without a doubt, each shopping basket will contain some eggs. Of course, the best choice are unlabeled eggs from a countryside hen that roams freely around the yard. However, not everyone has the opportunity to buy such eggs. I suspect that many people are already aware that from reading the egg code, we can find out whether the eggs are free range or, for example, from cage breeding. Many people who care about the environment and healthy nutrition are guided by this information when choosing eggs. Some also pay attention to the fact whether the eggs come from hens fed with GMO-free feed. And now we get to few questions: what exactly is GMO? Are GMO crops really harmful to us? Can an egg from a hen fed with GMO feed be dangerous to our health? I will try to answer these and other questions regarding GMOs.

Nowadays, we have practically endless possibilities of combining various food products. Supermarkets do not only offer regional and seasonal produce, but also foreign and exotic foods. Thanks to this, our cuisine certainly becomes more diverse and interesting, but it should be remembered that food products interact with each other, affecting the bioavailability of minerals and vitamins, that is our body’s ability to use nutrients.

On the other hand, well-chosen food products mutually improve the absorption of nutrients, resulting in increased benefits.

However, not everyone knows that with a little effort, the complete remission of diabetes is possible.
Summer time is usually the period when many of us go abroad. Holidays provide an excellent opportunity to get to know cultures of other nations. Apart from sightseeing, admiring of landscapes and various sights, a contact with new cuisines is an important element of travelling. We learn about new flavours, combinations, cooking methods, as well as traditions at the table. It is worth to make sure that by mistake we do not commit a cultural faux pas.
