Why eat healthy food?
Healthy eating is when we are able to improve our health and well-being through the foods that we eat. It involves consuming enough nutrients and water for our body to function effectively. Eating healthy food also helps to prevent ailments such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol.
Therefore, in today’s day and age, healthy eating is becoming all the more important. Globally, obesity is indeed becoming a pandemic.
In Singapore alone, obesity rates are rising from 6.9% of the population in 2004, to 10.8% in 2010. (The Straits Times, 2012, June 11, p. B3).
One of the reasons for this obesity pandemic is because people are choosing more unhealthy, fried and oily foods over the more healthy, nutritious options. Moreover, less people are cooking at home these days, due to their increasingly busy work commitments, lifestyles and schedules.
By choosing healthy foods from Healthy Catering Singapore, you can make a fresh start and adopt a more healthy lifestyle.
So what healthy foods can I eat?
Healthy eating comprises of:
- Choosing unsaturated over saturated and trans fats
- Limiting your intake of deep-fried and oily foods
- Eat more whole grains, rather than refined white grains
- Limiting sugar intake
- Limiting salt intake
- Cutting down on canned and processed food
