๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Marrakech - Morocco :







☆ Overall Vote:

8/10 ★





Location:

Restaurant 

Chez Chegruoni



Medina Marrakech

Morocco 

North Africa 
















☆ Food: 7/10 ★


Tajine is definitely one of the most famous dish in the Moroccan cuisine, as the name comes from the pot where this speciality is served, quite spectacular to watch when you get this served on your table and the sound of the ingredient still boiling/cooking it's something unique.

I chose the one with mince which is slow cooked and a great match with the spices


☆ Vibe: 9/10 ★


There are different restaurants in the city centre that are offering a view over the city, since the streets are always busy and crowded, a terrace is the perfect way to enjoy the meal in peace and have a nice view


✪ Interesting facts:


⍟  Some restaurants have a really small and narrow entrance which is actually bringing to the terrace upstairs where they keep all the tables and usually the kitchen is in the middle floor so never judge from the "cover"


⍟  As you can imagine the taste of this dish changes around different region or North Africa depending on the regional herbs and spices used 


⍟  Recommend to have some Moroccan tea not only to enjoy the special way they serve that (trying to pour that from the highest point they can) but also because is very light in taste and a good match almost with anything you decide to eat this with

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Burano (Venice) - Italy:



 


☆ Overall Vote:

9/10 ★





Location:

Restaurant Fritto Misto


Burano 

(one hour from Venice city Centre)

North Italy






☆ Food: 9/10 ★


It's interesting that even the "plate is edible" made by wheat, which is very light in taste but the oil coming from the fritto misto (literally means mixed fried and in this case we are talking about seafood and potatoes) it's giving the specific taste to the plate as well, the result is that the taste is never boring but could be a little bit heavy, I managed to finish all the seafood which was fresh and not too oily, but only had just a quarter of the plate 


☆ Vibe: 9/10 ★


The location is just in front of the station and since we are talking about Venice, is the boat station, so as you can imagine the view is on the lagoon, which is always lovely.



✪ Interesting facts:


⍟  Murano and Burano are just an hour by boat (public transport) from Venice but they offer some unique view like the colourful houses or the incredible glass-making shops all around these small islands 


⍟ An interesting memory was this kind old lady making some elaborated glass creation in her shop just at the cashier, you can notice all the small details on these elaborated creations which is the reason why the glass made in here is famous around the world

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง  London - UK:




☆Overall Vote:  

7.5/10 ★






Location:


Bao Fitzrovia 



W1T 2JN

London, UK





☆ Food: 9 /10 ★


Inspired by the street food markets in Taiwan 

It offers a lot of choices in the menu included different Baos:

Like the classic one in the picture with Pork and Peanuts or the fried chicken or Lamb shoulder alternatives, plus the interesting crumbled Daikon one 


☆ Vibe: 6/10 ★


The location is nothing special, to not end up in the downstairs floor is preferable to book a table ahead

But keep in mind but the food is what really matters so totally recommend a visit here!



✪ Interesting facts:


⍟  They have different locations around London and opening a new one this year

 
⍟  It's interesting in the official website how they describe places and dishes from their hometown in Taiwan that inspired the menu here in London 
you can have a look here if curious BAO London

How to reduce Fructose in your daily intake if needed (due to intolerance or restrictions for instance) and fruit naturally high and low in fructose

Fructose could be found in a variety of products in an elevated amount as a syrup or simple sugar for example WHY COULD BE UNHEALTHY? Keeping in my mind that the dose is making the difference, we are not talking about fruits and veggies which the amount could be included in a healthy diet. A high amount of this can increase extra fat disposition and insulin resistance. Another important note is the level of satiety which is low, it basically means that you need more of these kind of product to fill full and satisfied which also means a bigger portion/calories FOOD HIGH IN FRUCTOSE: LOW FAT YOGURT   (always check the label because some brands are claiming a low fat product without mentioning a higher amount of sugars/fructose) DRESSING ( like Ketchup and Mayonneise ) FLAVOURED OR SWEETENED MILK CANNED FRUIT FIZZY DRINKS  JUICE As you can notice once again reading label is important to be aware about the content and the amount of

Diabetes type 3 and NHS Diabetes prevention programme

Prevention it's always better than any future treatment Working in the NHS Diabetes prevention programme   made me realise how important it is to always look in a long term perspective to avoid any further complications Doesn't matter if you are feeling young and invincible right now or have you just been diagnosed with Diabetes (even borderline) The point is that an "investment" made on yourself to get healthier will be paid off with many interests in the future and the only person to benefit from this is yourself  You might have heard already about: Diabetes type 1: It happens when the body can't produce enough insulin  Diabetes type 2 : The body develops insulin resistence or is not produced enough  But maybe you didn't hear about: Diabetes type 3 : An insulin resistance that could trigger Alzheimer's disease , because of the complications from the chemical imbalances (to not be confused with type 3c) PRACTICAL ADVICE:

Get rewards to walk (free): update on SWEATCOINS. Main improvements

Image
We discussed about this application in a previous post, almost a year ago (link at the bottom) But it might be something new if you started to follow this page just recently To summarise:  It's a totally free app that gives you reward for walking! (with no other implications) I wanted to make this post because there are some update and improvements and this could be a very good reason to increase your steps and activity everyday. Main improvements: - It counts ALL the steps, included the one indoor, so no excuses if you can't leave home, as far you are keeping your phone in your pocket or using a connected smart watch, it will count every single step. - More rewards , as discussed previously sometimes is not easy to keep the motivation, especially in the long run, but as simple as it sounds, getting rewards for your efforts and having targets (like your daily amount of steps to reach) it really can make the difference in the long term. - It is now a " po
