Thought process

Through this PT, i realised how unhealthy my eating habit is and i figured out that i am in great danger of a heart disease!

i think one reason for the lack of consumption of vegetables and fruits is really because i only eat certain types of fruits and vege. for example, i only like to eat pears, orange and guava most of the time as they taste really good but i dont ever take apples though apples are known to have lots of vitamins. if not there wouldn't be such a phrase like 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. As for vegetables, i only take 1 type of vegetables, which is kangkong and no other type of vege. As such resulting in the imbalance diet. It is also due to the the fruits we usually buy, some fruits that i like such as strawberries and rambutans are some of the different types of fruits that are seasonal which we don't get to eat them anytime we want. That reduce the amount of fruits i eat.

So one thing i could do is really to eat a variety of food and not be too picky. Also, i need to control myself and keep myself away from chips and cookies because all these are junk food which really doesn't provide much nutrients. So self control os one important factor that i learnt from this PT. Also, i think doing this PT also makes me think of the importance of calcium which i think i really lack in.

I also learnt that food we eat should not be judged by how tasty they are but the nutritional values in these food. All the food that are tasty are usually bad for the body, so the natural taste of food and the different natural colouring in these food is what that is most important. The more type of vegetables we consume, the better it is.

Secondly, i understand that food we make by ourselves is always better than those bought from outside as we ourselves will not add harmful stuff to our food such as preservatives. After doing this PT, i realsied how fortunate i am to have my mother to cook for me everyday and it is really the best and most nutritious meal compared to any other.
