美食博主 Deliciously Ella 解讀植物性飲食迷思
A Beginner’s Guide to Plant-Based Eating With Deliciously Ella
開啟「接收通知」和「搶先看」每天吸收雙語時事新知
🍎It's about celebrating the richness, abundance, and flavor of plants
植物性飲食是為了宣揚植物的濃郁、豐富和風味。
🐰 Mills is devoted to shifting the perception that plant-based eating is bland, boring, and above all, restrictive. "There's this assumption that it's all rabbit food—lettuce, carrot, and crudites," she says with a laugh. "I think showing people that they can take these supposedly ‘boring’ foods and transform them in an easy, inexpensive way is key. Remember guacamole is a vegetable, it's not only about kale!"
Ella致力於改變大眾對於植物性飲食平淡、無聊,且限制很多的看法。 「很多人認為,植物性飲食就都是兔子的食物——生菜,胡蘿蔔碎,和沙拉」她笑著說。 「我認為關鍵是向人們展示可以把這些所謂的「無聊」食物,以一種簡單廉價的方式轉變。 鱷梨醬也是一種蔬菜,所以不是只是羽衣甘藍!」
💊 Back in 2011, Mills' health journey began when she was diagnosed at the age of 19 with a rare illness, which left her with chronic fatigue and digestive issues. "The gut contains about 70% of our immune system and the absorption of vitamins and minerals from our food is central to the health of other organs including our brain," she explains. "Our diet needs a lot of fiber and a diverse range of plant-based foods to feed all the microbes, which is where fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, and beans and legumes come into play."
Ella的健康之旅早在2011年就開始了,她在19歲時被診斷出患有罕見的疾病, 這種疾病使她長期感到疲勞和消化問題。「腸道包含了我們大約70%的免疫系統,從食物中吸收維生素和礦物質對包括大腦在內的其他器官的健康至關重要,」她解釋說。 「我們的飲食需要大量的纖維和多樣化的植物性食物來餵養所有的微生物,這就是水果和蔬菜,全穀物,堅果和種子,以及豆類和豆類的作用。」
🥒 Start By Restocking Your Pantry: "Stock the cupboard with dry ingredients, so you can whip something up really easily when you get home," advises Mills, who breaks down the essentials into four main categories: Herbs and Spices, Condiments and Sauces, Grains and Pasta, and Tinned Legumes. Revamp Your Kitchen Appliances: Ingredients are only half the battle. And while there's nothing like the blissful ease of unboxing takeout, these days there are a plethora of cutting-edge appliances designed to make life easy when cooking your own meals.
從補充你的食物存貨開始:Ella建議:「在櫥櫃裡儲存乾貨,這樣你回家後就可以很容易地製作一些東西。」她將必需品分為四大類:草藥和香料、調味品和醬料、穀物和麵食、罐頭豆類 。升級廚房裝備:食材只是戰役的一半。雖然沒有什麼能比得上開外賣的幸福輕鬆,但如今有大量的尖端電器,旨在讓自己做飯時的生活變得簡單。讓提升簡單的食材變得輕而易舉,

「rare fruit plants」的推薦目錄:
rare fruit plants 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Facebook 的精選貼文
《花木寶典》(English version below)
THE TREASURE BOOK OF FLOWERS & PLANTS
大概二十年前,吾結識了一位林姓花店老闆,因爲他的原故,吾才會有這難得的機會,一親花木的芳澤。吾,玳瑚師父,不否認對花很有好感。其實不祇是花,樹與草吾也都同樣有好感。雖然我們無法將郊外的花草樹木「搬」進去我們的家宅,但是我們可以將我們的住處,佈置成有花草樹木的覺受。打個比方說:在客廳面向入口處的牆上,掛上一幅有花有草有樹的畫。餐桌上放盆花卉,如:鬱金香、百合花、向日葵、蘭花等等。單憑這四種花,已是非常讚了。因它們象徵著婷婷玉立、百年好合、朝氣蓬勃、富貴端莊等等。但,必須是真花哦!除非妳你不介意虛情假意的感情。(一笑)
堪輿學是什麼?堪輿學是一門甚深的環境學。是能夠利樂一切諸有情的上上之學。有志於利樂眾生事業的人,應該參研參研,功德巍巍啊!就算妳你胸無此大志,懂得皮毛已可獲得,生活中的大益。在現今的組屋城市裡,我們雖生活在文明繁榮的國度裡,但人與人之間,相互的情感聯絡,卻已到了急診狀態。那是爲何因?因爲過多的鋼筋水泥,會導致人走向固執不通,寡情寡意。而花草樹木則能使人走向溫馨,愉悅及有情。有情就能夠生旺,無情則衰敗。從家庭到社會,再從社會到國家,影響之大真是不堪設想啊!
在眾多植物中,金錢樹、觀音竹、富貴樹、琴葉榕、巴西鐵樹等等,都是吾幫眾生造福時,喜推薦的擋煞增旺的植物。其實吾特別喜歡一種植物,那就是松柏樹是也。吾特別喜歡,乃是樹對大小環境,皆能添加綠意美化之。亦能加持富貴、文昌、天喜、華麗、莊嚴,等等。而吾多年遊走國內外,爲眾生造福時發現,凡有松柏樹的地方,必有富貴人家。當然,這必須得視松柏樹的高低、大小、青翠與否、茂盛與否、莊嚴與否,來判斷財丁名。吾自認福氣實不小。十八年前,榮幸的受邀幫助一戶人家,因此因緣見到非常莊嚴的兩盆松柏樹。這戶人家雖住政府組屋,可它內部裝潢,卻是貴氣逼人,是吾勘察過的政府組屋中,非常有氣派的一間。另外一個主要原因,是她他們家中有位非一般的貴客,那就是密宗黃教尊貴資糧主,黃財神是也。此尊黃財神金身,亦是到目前爲止,吾還未見過比之更莊嚴的。
其實,一間陽宅周圍的花草樹木,已伏藏著所住的人之健康貧富、吉凶禍福、妻財子祿。越是高明的堪輿師,越能一眼識破,越能有能力禳解之。所以這麼多年來,吾常苦口婆心的勸請男女有情,選購房屋勿草率,勿盲從,要不然將來妳你所要承受的損失,不是短期的,而是一輩子的。有這麼嚴重嗎?一個原本快樂圓滿的家庭,出現一個生瘤患癌的成員,患者本身的身體與心靈受創,家裡也會愁雲密佈啊!堪輿學本是山川的大智慧,本是很深的環境學。風光明媚的景色,優美的環境,必定造就才子佳人、身心康樂。購屋是要擇地的,購屋是要細察周圍的地形與地物的。奇形怪物的環境,千千萬萬不要住下。房屋前後左右不可有兩種不一樣的菓樹,也不可有有刺的植物。切記!切記!這《花木寶典》的誕生,是天下眾生的福音啊!
......................
About 20 years ago, I got to know the boss of a floral shop, Mr Lim. It was because of him, I had the rare opportunity to appreciate the beauty of flowers and plants. I, Master Dai Hu, do not deny that I am fond of flowers. In fact, it is not just flowers. I take a shine to trees and grass as well. Although we are unable to move the greenery from the countryside into our homes, we can decorate our place to give out the vibe of greenery in nature. For example, you can hang a picture of flowers, grass and trees in your living room facing the entrance. You can also place a pot of flowers, such as tulips, lilies, sun flowers, orchids, etc, on your dining table. Just these four types of flowers alone are already very wonderful, because they symbolize elegance, a long and harmonious life, vigour, prosperity and dignity, etc. However, they must be be real flowers! Unless you don't mind hypocrisy and false affections in your relationship. (laughs)
What is Feng Shui? It is a very deep body of knowledge about our environment. This superior knowledge can bring immense benefits to all sentient beings. For those of you aspiring to bring joy and relief to sentient beings, you ought to delve deep into this subject. That will be a very virtuous act! Even if you do not have big aspirations, knowing a little about Feng Shui can also bring huge benefits to your own life. In the city landscape of HDB flats that we are in today, the nobility and importance of flowers and plants become more prominent.
Despite us living in a civilized and prosperous country, the emotional interaction between people has deteriorated to a level that calls for emergency treatment. Why is that so? Because excessive use of cement and metal structures will cause people to become more obstinate and cold-hearted. On the other hand, flowers and plants can lead people towards warmth, joy and affection. When there is affection, there will be prosperity. Without affection, we will suffer decline. This situation can spread from a family unit, to the society and to the entire country. The impact of this is so great that it is unthinkable!
When I helped sentient beings to create good fortune, among the many plants, I have favourably recommended these to enhance prosperity and negate vile energies: Zamioculcas, Bambusa multiplex, Guilfoyle polyscias, Fiddle leaf fig, Dracaena fragrans etc. Actually, I am especially fond of one particular plant, the cypress pine. I especially like the way these plants beautify the environment, big or small. They can also aid in wealth, culture and literature, heavenly happiness, magnificence, dignity, etc. And in my years of travelling overseas and locally to benefit sentient beings, I discovered that places with the cypress pine often have wealthy families residing there.
Of course, one needs to see the height, size, verdancy, luxuriance, as well as the nobility, to determine the quality of wealth, descendants and reputation. I thank my good fortune that 18 years ago, I had the honour to be invited to help a family, hence had the affinity to see 2 pots of regal-looking cypress pine trees. Although this family lived in a HDB flat, its interior decoration was overflowing with an aura of nobility. Among all the HDB housing I have audited, theirs was a very resplendent home. Another main reason was that their home had an extraordinary guest, that is the the Yellow Jambhala, the distinguished Lord of Accumulation of Gelug school in Varjayana Buddhism. The statue of the Yellow Jambhala was the most regal-looking I had ever seen till now.
Fact is, the greenery surrounding a residence already has hidden indicators of the health, wealth, fortune, marriage, descendant, and status luck of the occupants. The more accomplished a Feng Shui master is, the more he is able to discern this in a single glance, and negate the harmful effects. That is why all these years, I have been constantly telling everybody, male and female, not to be hasty and have a herd mentality when it comes to buying your own home. Otherwise, the losses that you have to bear will not be for the short term, but for the entire lifetime.
Is it that serious?
A family which used to be a happy unit suffers the fate of one family member getting cancer. The patient suffers physically and emotionally and the family is shrouded with worry and anxiety.
Feng Shui is originally the great wisdom of the mountains and the rivers. It is a profound study of our environment. Picturesque scenery and a pleasant environment will definitely cultivate gifted scholars and beauties, and nourish the health physically and emotionally. Prior to buying a house, one must first select the right land. Buying a house requires careful scrutiny of the landform and land features. Never ever stay in an environment of a strange shape and odd features. There must not be two different fruit trees, or thorny plants on all four sides of your house. Please remember this! Be sure to keep in mind! The birth of this Treasure Book of Flowers and Plants is definitely joyous news to all sentient beings in this world!
