Now that we’re heading into winter, here’s how to store your citrus fruits so they stay fresh and last longer:
Unlike other fruits (bananas, for example), citrus fruits do not continue to ripen after they've been picked. You need to keep them cool to extend their lifespan.
It’s best to store them in the fridge, however, if you plan on eating your oranges/ soft citrus fruits within a week, then placing them in an uncovered fruit bowl is sufficient. Airflow plays a role in maintaining citrus fruit freshness, as well as keeping the skins dry to help prevent mould growth.

The prevalence of gout is increasing globally. The largest increase in gout incidence over the last 2 decades has been observed in the age group of 35-39 years old! Don't ignore it. Dietary changes may help prevent gout attacks, so if gout is something that bothers you, why not discuss this with a dietitian.

For those of you who, like me, enjoy a good cup of coffee, I have something interesting to share…
Coffee contains a compound called chlorogenic acid, which is being studied for its role in helping to protect against chronic diseases and conditions. It is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory benefits.
Further research needs to be done in terms of the specific health benefits, however there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a nice cup of coffee, if that’s something you like!
