Diet dalam makanan
Baru balik dari talk kat nursery Ariana pasal diet dalam makanan kanak-kanak.
Sememangnya ayah tau kepentingan balanced diet tapi kekadang tu terlepas gak benda-benda yang tak patut makan.
Actually, we can eat anything but the key principle is "to be balanced", as Islam teaches us to be moderate in everything we do including eating.
1. Eat when we are hungry and stop before we are full.
2. ONLY treat yourself with high sugar and salt contents occasionally.
3. Learn to cook (and using sugar & salt) so that you can give your children a better life. They learn about eating - right or wrong, healthy or bad, since they are young.
4. Why do I care about amount of sugar, salt & fat? Because both are the main causes for high blood pressure, high cholestrol and heart problem (typical Malay health problem)
5. Eat well and excercise

( Ayah needs to remember these!!!)
1. Sugar: 2 is good, 10 is bad!
A lot of sugar = 10g sugar or more per 100g
A little sugar = 2g sugar or less per 100g
2. Salt: 0.3 is good, 1.3 is bad!
A lot of salt = 1.3g sugar or more per 100g
A little of salt = 0.3g sugar or more per 100g
3. Sodium is not salt. Salt = 4 times sodium
E.g.
4. Sodium: 0.1 is good, 0.5 is bad!
A lot of sodium = 0.5g sodium or more per 100g
A little of sodium = 0.1g sugar or more per 100g
5. (Unsaturated) Fat: 3g is good, 20g is bad!
A lot of fat = 20g fat or more per 100g
A little of fat = 3g sugar or more per 100g
6. (Saturated) Fat: 1g is good, 5g is bad!
A lot of saturates = 5g fat or more per 100g
A little of saturates = 1g saturates or more per 100g
How I will make a different?
1. Practice what Ariana said: "After eat(ing) chocolate, you must brush your teeth."
2. Try to use more natural sugar from fruit e.g. Jamie Oliver uses clementine to flavor his food, interesting :)
3. Be careful with seasoning that I use - hehehe yang ni payah! ... soya sauce, Lee Kum Kee, Lingam, belacan etc.
4. Use more unsaturated fat i.e. vegetable oils (Done), butter spread and fish.
