“You are what you eat,” is the mantra of our ‘My <strong>Lewes</strong>’ interviewee this month, Tina<br />
Deubert, healthy-food cook, nutritionist and all-round good egg (of the organic, free-range<br />
and biodynamic variety, natch). Generally in <strong>January</strong>s we’ve gone down the ‘New Year’s<br />
Resolution’ route, trying out everything from colonic irrigation (I’ll never hear the end of<br />
that one) to giving up smoking. This year we’ve decided to think more about the other side<br />
of the self-improvement coin - pre-emptive health measures. And so we’ve decided on the<br />
obvious preventative-medicine-related saying as our theme: ‘an apple a day’ (with the knee<br />
jerk follow-on that’ll have sparked in your mind concerning the resultant remoteness of your<br />
GP). Which all begs the question: in this day and age when we’re being told that fat is where<br />
it’s at, and don’t drink too much of that evil orange juice – is an apple a day good for you?<br />
Over to Tina… “It’s one of the best fruits,” she says, “as long as you buy organic, because<br />
most of the nutrients are in the skin. It’s a good source of vitamin C, potassium and the antioxidant<br />
quercetin, it’s good for your cholesterol balance, and<br />
it’s high in fibre, so the sugars in it are released slowly. It<br />
may help reduce the risk of cancer, Type-2 diabetes, and<br />
heart disease. What’s more, food doesn’t get more local -<br />
you can grow them in your back garden.” Get the message?<br />
Eat. One. Now. Enjoy the issue… and Happy New Year.<br />
The Team<br />
