Welcome to my blog! 
Do you know...
- A balance diet is rich in nutrients and dietary fibre, but low in fat, salt and sugar. You should try to include all 4 food groups in a day, in order to get all the nutrients you need.
- Taking balanced meals is not just essential for a healthy body, but also for a healthy mind.
- The number of servings needed varies with age, gender, body build and level of activity.
4 Food Groups
1) Rice and alternatives
Rice, noodles, bread, cereals and biscuits
2) Fruit
Fruits and fruit juices
3) Vegetables
4) Meat and alternatives
Meat, poultry, milk, beans and nuts
What can you do....
- Eat regular meals starting with breakfast.
- Avoid eating out of boredom, stress or politeness.
- Eat only at the dining table. Avoid eating in front of the television or out of the refrigerator.
- If you must snack, take fresh fruits instead of cakes or biscuits.
- Eat more wholegrain products (eg. wholemeal bread, brown rice), green leafy vegetables and fruits with yellow-orange flesh.
- Go for calcium-rich foods like anchovies, sardines, soya bean products, beans and low-fat milk.
- Choose lean meat and more white meat (e.g. fish, chicken). Remove the skin and fat from chicken/duck.
- Choose low-fat or non-fat dairy products (e.g. milk, yoghurt and cheese).
- Eat less preserved or canned food, and use less artificial seasoning (e.g. soya sauce, salt) in your dishes.
- Eat less sweet foods like chocolates, cakes and sweets.
- Stir fry, steam, grill, bake or boil your food more often, instead of deep frying it.
- When shopping for food, read the labels. Always choose healthier alternatives.
