What is a keto fat bomb and why eat them?

A fat bomb is a bite-sized dessert or snack that’s high in fat and low in carbs. They’re usually made with few ingredients that include a source of fat (butter, coconut oil, cream cheese, etc.) and some flavoring (fruit, chocolate, nuts, seeds, coconut, mint, vanilla, lemon, etc.). No sugar is used.
Fat bombs and other low carb desserts (like keto chocolate chip cookies) are great for anyone on keto because they provide a convenient and delicious snack that meets their diet’s macronutrient requirements — low in carbs, high in fat.

Sauerkraut is essentially fermented cabbage. Fermentation is a method of preserving food that dates back more than 2,000 years. During the fermentation process, beneficial probiotics, or ‘live bacteria’, are produced, and these probiotics are what give sauerkraut most of its health benefits.
Sauerkraut is a good form of dietary fibre and contains vitamins C and K, potassium, calcium and phosphorus.

What are the health benefits of sauerkraut?

The beneficial probiotics found in sauerkraut are important for good digestive health, and whilst more research is needed into the exact types of beneficial bacteria found in sauerkraut and other fermented foods, we do know that they ‘feed’ the good bacteria in your gut and can help to combat inflammation.
Research has shown that probiotics help to reduce some digestive symptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation and may be beneficial to those suffering with conditions such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.
There is increasing research on the importance of good gut bacteria in supporting overall long-term health, including how probiotics from cultured foods such as sauerkraut may reduce your risk of conditions such as depression and Alzheimer’s.
Sauerkraut also contains enzymes that help the body to break down food into smaller, and more easily digestible molecules which in turn helps the body to absorb more nutrients.

 cook 2 large peeled potatoes and 2 carrots   separately as the acid in the kraut may prevent them from going soft if cooked together. Then add them to the soup made up of 500g sauerkraut, 2 cups water, 2 bay leaves, 3 all spice seeds and 100g diced bacon, simmer together for 30 minutes. Serves 4.

Black beans are loaded with fiber, protein, folic acid, potassium and magnesium and make this a tasty soup!
Black beans, also known as “turtle beans,” are an especially tasty variety, and make a lovely soup. As with most dried beans, they are inexpensive while offering a bounty of fiber, protein, folic acid, potassium and magnesium. Do not salt dried beans while they are cooking as the salt slows down the softening process. And a word about the sherry commonly added to this soup: forget “cooking” wines or sherries. They contain lots of added salt and very little in the way of flavor. Do your palate and your body a favor and use a drinkable sherry in this recipe.
Food as Medicine
A recent study from the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry found that, of all beans and legumes, black beans are the most antioxidant-rich (they contain the same anthocyanins found in dark red fruits such as grapes and cranberries). The antioxidants in black beans prevent cholesterol from being oxidized by free radicals in the bloodstream, a process that may, left unchecked, lead to plaque formation on blood vessel walls and, ultimately, atherosclerosis. Additionally, just one cup of black beans contains 20 percent of the Daily Value for iron; however, black beans also contain polyphenols known as tannins that prevent the full absorption of iron, so the amount of iron the body cacan actually use is somewhat lower.
