Just a short note before I go off for the holidays.

Try to reduce the intake of vegetable oil when you are cooking at home. A lot of consumers will assume that when the package says, “0% cholesterol”, it is healthy.

The fact is: All fruits, vegetables and fruit juices contain NO cholesterol.

However, vegetable oil has a high content of saturated fats. Saturated fats is something you need to avoid to reduce the risk of stroke, heart and obesity problems. When you consume saturated fats excessively, your arteries might get blocked and that will mostly lead to heart attacks.

Opt for healthier ones instead such as canola, soya, olive and sunflower oils. Another option is also to get your daily fix of flaxseed oil. This will reduce your cravings for oily and fried food and provide the essential omega 3 and 9 for your brain.

Last week, we organised a 3-hours workshop for participants from Ministry of Education at HortPark, Fruit Room. The three hours was well spent with simple physical activities for both the children and parents as a start.

Waking up to the animals in the forest!

The chef of the day, Ms Haryani Borhan from Learning Appetite Group, shared 4 recipes on that day. The best thing was that none of the recipes required any cooking!

A segment of the workshop also required the parents to work with their children on making  creative canapes set.

We hope the participants from MOE enjoyed the workshop as much as we did! The venue at HortPark was also awesome.

Live Life Healthy!

The first month of the year is almost done and already many of us have “stretched’ ourselves in the office, at home or just in school. Caught the flu? Feeling a little low? Cannot seem to remember how great 2010 could or should have been?

Fret not, my friends. Here are some good advice I gathered from Oprah’s network. Everything that has been advocated since we started this space has been lined up by Dr Sears. If it comes from Oprah, it must be good!

Take note of item 5 & 6 from the website:

… Instead, eat these 16 superfoods for prime-time health: seafood, dairy, spinach, nuts, olive oil, broccoli, oatmeal, flaxseed meal, avocados, pomegranate juice, tomatoes, tofu, yogurt, red onions, garlic, beans and lentils.

…

… Eat more of the “young” oils—fish oil, flax oil, olive oil and nut oils. Eat less of the “old” oils: partially hydrogenated, corn, cottonseed, palm kernel, safflower, sunflower and soybean. The research is overwhelming that eating more fish, flax, olive and nut oils and less processed oils contribute to a healthier and longer life…
…

Remember flaxseed oil? Flax oil? Yes, it has been proven to be essential not only in weight loss but also maintaining a healthy body. Many studies have shown that flaxseed is also used to reduce dementia in elderly. Cannot seem to remember where you put your keys? Perhaps, your body is lacking in the good fats / oil such as flaxseed.

Give your body a total makeover with simple and small diet changes today. It is after all just the first month of the year!

Flaxseed oil has been used in our weight loss programmes since we started and has proven to be an effective supplement for clients. One spoonful a day is enough to keep your cravings for fried items (such as fried chicken, fried banana fritters, epok-epok to name a few) in check. It also gives an extra boost in energy to keep up with your daily busy life.

You can either take one spoonful on its own or mix it with salads, yoghurts and oats.
