The Malaysian Healthy Plate – “Suku-suku Separuh”
4 simple tips to stay healthy with #SukuSukuSeparuh:
1. Skip sugary food
Sugar increases risk of obesity. This applies to fruit juice as it contains almost equal amount of sugar as a can of soda.
2. Healthy fats as an alternative
Fat can prolong a feeling of fullness but still contributes to total calories intake. Swap unhealthy fats (trans fat or saturated fats) for healthy fats such as MCT in your diet.
3. Combine resistance training and aerobic exercise
Combine these two for weight and fat loss as well as increase muscle mass. Muscles are tissues which burn more calories at rest than other tissues in the body.
4. Adopt healthier cooking method
E.g. Steaming, baking, grilling, etc.
