Healthy Life Malaysia

Among Health Campaign by Ministry of Health, Malaysia

All Malaysian must admit that all the food in Malaysia is absolutely delicious. However, we should remember to consume a balanced diet for good health, particularly when our age is increasing. 


Here are among 4 important steps  you can take to keep our health ;

Balance is key

Food will have an impact on all aspects of the body, energy levels, brain function, sleep habits and health. Therefore, balanced diet will give you energy according to what your body is needed. Do not completely give up your favorite delights because you will find it hard to maintain. What you can do is when you are ordering roti canai for breakfast, pair it with water instead of ordering a drink filled with sugar and empty calories.

Less Sugar  is the way to go

Majority of the calories consumed in Malaysia are purely through the sugary and often milky drinks. In order to stay healthy, we must cut our sugar intake in everyday consumption. For instance, if  you’re not a fan of plain old ice water, ask for your drinks to come with less sugar (kurang manis).

Make smart choices

Not all our foods are high in calories, so sometimes pick a lighter meal when you’re out. Among the things you can do is to ask for bihun instead of kuay teow and if  you’re a fan of fruit rojak, ask for the sauce to be packed separately and this way you can dip your fruits in the sauce. Making smarter choices on a daily basis will help you reach your health goals. I have come across the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) is the daily intake corresponding to RDA which meets the nutrient requirements of almost all (97.5%) apparently healthy individuals published by the Ministry of Health Malaysia. There are a total of 18 useful chapter. Attach is the link for you to get further information http://www.moh.gov.my/v/cadangan_pengambilan_zat

Exercise

We have to somehow admit that in order to lead a healthy life, exercise is necessary. According to expert, regular exercise can help protect you from heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, noninsulin-dependent diabetes, obesity, back pain, osteoporosis, and can improve your mood and help you to better manage stress. Above is the video posted on Youtube in conjunction with 1Murid1Sukan introduced by the Ministry of Education Malaysia.  Personally I think it is a good effort introduced as they are trying to instill the healthy lifestyle from young age. I have tried to do the exercise and at the end of it, I am sweating. Please take some time to try it too. I hope that you will experienced fun like what i did !!!

That's all for now.Remember, Stay Healthy Malaysian!
