You are what you eat
It has been 2 beautiful weeks working with the N&D department
This is what we were taught in the first lecture:
HEALTHY DIET FOR A HEALTHY BODY
It is very simple; there is just 8 rules to follow for a healthier diet...
Rule 1
Enjoy a variety of clean, safe and adequate food.
Clean and safe food, meaning not expired and does not cause harm to your body in anyway... Eating cockroach is considered safe if there is no toxins that will harm your body.. But i don't know how nutritious cockroach are! i wouldn't eat it either
Adequate meaning not too much and not too little as well. It is very difficult to quantify the amount of food you should eat because it will take like forever for me to type out the serving sizes for the different food. So just bear in mind not to eat too much (Buffet is not a good idea)
Rule 2
Maintain Healthy body weight
Try to balance your energy intake with your physical activity. If you are a very active person you could eat more as compared to people like me who stays in the library and just sit for hours. This is called responsible eating: you eat according to how much your body need... So that the extra calories are not there to cause harm to your body.
Diabetes is not cause by the high sugar intake, but it is the excess calories that a person take everyday. Excess calories leading to obesity and increase the risk of developing diabetes mellitus.
Rule 3
Eat brown unpolished rice, wholemeal bread, and lots of fruits and vegetables
Brown rice and wholemeal bread will ensure that we have sufficient fibre intake in our daily meal. In a normal Malaysian diet, it is impossible to reach the recommended fibre intake of 20-30g if we don't change your diet...
Fruits and vegetables are rich in anti-oxidant and vitamins. Recommended to take at least 5 different colours of fruits and vegetables a day to have sufficient intake of the various nutrients.
Rule 4
Cut down the use of fats and oils
I know this rule is very VERY difficult. Cutting down fat and oil is through the cooking method of not frying as well as not to eat the skin and fat in the meat. The fats and oils is becoming the most important thing to us because of the aroma and taste that oil give. SO DELICIOUS... But it is unhealthy especially to your heart! So you have a choice of living longer or eating something nice.
* please don't get me wrong. It is ok to have unhealthy food once in a while but not frequently. How can anyone in our generation survive without fast food for like forever??? @@
This to be continued in the next post... * Too long a text is not really nice to read... So ciaoz... try to practice healthy diet!!
