This page is a note to myself what I still want to write about here. \\

====== Cooking&more ======

Recipes for baking (sugar free/less), cooking and basic knowledge. \\

===== Kitchen knowledge =====

Replacing wheat flour with spelt/dinkel wheat is always a good idea - when getting brown, it gets an awesome taste. Try mixing different grains (e.g. 630 and 1050 or whatever you have available). 
<hidden Question: What do the numbers on flour mean?>
> Flour numbers show ash (mineral) content, measured by burning the flour and weighing the residue. 
> Lower numbers mean whiter flour, higher mean more whole grain - and therefore richer in minerals.

- organic food (bio) should be considered regular food. It is not an upgrade, it is the standard. Non-organic food is a degradation. \\

- See [[life_hacks:bakingsoda|the difference of baking soda and baking powder]] \\

<hidden bases vs acids in foods>
The body cannot produce bases, only acids. It is up to you to eat non-acid food. \\
Search for "PRAL table" as pdf, e.g. like this one: [[https://inaturally.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/The-PRAL-Table.pdf|The-PRAL-Table.pdf]] \\
IIRC, there is a study stating that cancer patients are overacidified. \\

- 🥕 "revive" carrots: If you put slouchy carrots into water, they become luscious again :) Then you can cook them soft once more if you like to :D \\ 

- Quit eating (industry) sugar, it helps. Sweeten with fruits and/or organic applesauce. Get used to high percentage (90%+) chocolate (yes, you will learn to love it. I comes automatically when stop eating the regular sweets;). \\

====== Knowledge ======

Following is basic knowledge which IMO should be thought in school: \\

- backenmachtgluecklich \\
- Vinegar & citric accid & Lemon: clean & cure and cultivate food + remove limescale \\
- the effect of sugar \\
- sugar (and salt) are a habit. Just reduce it continually a bit. (the body needs salt, just not too much) \\
- (un)saturated fatty acids + Omega3/6 + Fats and its max. temperatures \\
+ DHA stuff
+ you probably cannot satisfy hunger with nuts, as they contain no carbs (but lots of fat) \\
- Süßrahm- vs Sauerrahm- Butter vs Öle \\
- potato chips cause pimples (tortilla chips do not for me) \\

- what you eat has an influence on sun sensitivity of the skin. Before summer holidays: avoid citrus fruits; eat foods high in antioxidants (like berries, nuts, and green leafy vegetables); Ultimate Tip: Take calcium with beta-carotene (e.g. Avitale Calcium Sun 500 powder) to help protect the skin from UV damage (does not replace suncream! smokers should be aware of too much β-carotene, the combination promotes (even more) lung cancer) \\
- Smoking speeds up caffeine metabolism (via CYP1A2), but not vice versa. Caffeine and nicotine act synergistically in the brain. Does not mean you should smoke at all ;) \\

- ZDF TV show "Besseresser" with Sebastian Lege is nice to watch: [[https://www.zdf.de/reportagen/lebensmitteltricks--lege-packt-aus--100|in Mediathek]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/ZDFbesseresser|Youtube]]. Please keep in mind that this is a TV show which might lack profundity - always check and think yourself. \\
