We are well aware of the importance of caring for your health, including your skin, your physique, and your body system. But how easy it is to forget the central role of diet. If you can, spare a few seconds and think about what you are actually eating, where the food comes from, and how it affects your body. The effects of food you eat last long after the taste has gone. What you eat stays in your body and results in different effects. The Green Room would like you be mindful of each bite of food you enjoy.
Organic foods
Organic foods are produced without use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge. Organic food is processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. Organic livestock is reared without the routine use of antibiotics and are free of artificial growth hormones.
Pesticide residues
The products from conventional agriculture, such as fruit, vegetable and milk can have pesticide residues which potentially pose a risk to health. Eating food with excessive pesticide residues may cause acute and/or chronic adverse health effects. Prolonged excessive intake of pesticide residues have been shown to cause damage to the nervous system, harm organs such as the liver and kidneys, and impede natural fetal development of animals.
On the other hand, organic farming emphasizes agricultural methods such as crop rotation to keep the soil healthy and maintain natural pest-control systems. It effectively provides people healthy and safe food.
MSG
MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) has been shown to cause lesions on the brain, especially in children. These lesions cause cognitive and emotional abnormalities. Studies show that rats fed MSG from birth could not escape mazes or discriminate between stimuli as well as non MSG fed rats. The implication for human children is that MSG could seriously affect cognitive skills and cause learning difficulties.
Scientists have shown that everyone reacts to MSG and it all depends on the dose of MSG given. People who do not suffer an immediate or acute reaction to the substance will, scientists believe, suffer brain cell damage which can lead to long-term health problems as detailed above.
Sugar intake
World Health Organisation suggested that the daily calorie intake from sugar should be limited within 220-330. It is equal to 11-16 teaspoons of white sugar. A can of Coca Cola has 143 calorie and a cup of cappuccino has about 62 (from whole milk) or 47 (from soy milk) calorie.
The Green Room insists providing you only 100 % freshly made juice without any added sugar. Because we know sugar is no good to your health. 100% fresh fruit Juice has rich vitamin and mineral. A HYPERLINK "http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5298404.stm" study published in American Journal of Medicine indicates that drinking fruit and vegetable juices may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by as much as 76 percent.
