Healthy and Simple Vegetable Recipes
Do you eat sufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables every day?
Most of the time, fruits and vegetables are our least priority during meal times.
This is shown in the recent findings from the 2019 National Health and Morbidity Survey that almost all (95%) Malaysian adults aged 18 years and above consumed less than five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. [1]
Most of the time, we choose to have meat or protein-based dishes to pair with our rice/grains or carbohydrate-based dishes with less portions or without any fruits and vegetables.
This eating practice must be changed as an unbalanced diet will be causing a lack of essential nutrients. Especially during this pandemic period, it is important to have enough nutrients to maintain a good immunity system to avoid chronic diseases and to fight disease like COVID-19.
For the fruits, we just have to consume it directly or blend it into fruit juice.
