Eat-cetera

Sunday, 18 February 2007 by Simon Aughton

The Becster and I visited Eat-cetera, one of the best reaturants close to our apartment in St-Gilles, last night. The modern interior has been refurbished and the new colours and table cloths make it warmer and more 'comfortable' then before. One thing that doesn't need refurbishing is the food, which is vibrant and original (without being whacky) and makes a big change from the predictable Belgian fayre on offer at too many of Brussels' restaurants and cafés.

Eat watercress

Saturday, 17 February 2007 by Simon Aughton

From The Guardian:

It contains more iron than spinach, more vitamin C than oranges and more calcium than milk. Watercress may be better known as a decorative garnish, but a study published yesterday said the salad leaf could significantly cut the risk of cancer.

The study suggested that eating 85g of watercress a day could inhibit the growth of cancer cells and even kill them. Scientists at Ulster University found that the watercress reduced the damage caused by cancer cells to white blood cells by 22.9%. Watercress also raised levels of antioxidants which absorb so-called "free radicals", molecules which some experts believe damage the body's tissues.
