Nutritional Tips

Vegetables and fruits play an extremely important role in our body. They contain non starch polysaccharides (NSP), what is called “fibre” in daily lives. There are soluble ones and insoluble ones. For example, cereals mainly contain cellulose (insoluble) while fruits and vegetables mainly contain soluble types (e.g. pectins & gums). Cellulose helps to add bulk to the faeces (by binding with water) which means less constipation. Pectin (e.g. found in apples) helps to reduce blood cholesterol (by binding with dietary cholesterol).

Some study shows that a higher vegetable intake may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (Hung et al, J Natl Cancer Inst . 2004 Nov 3;96(21):1577-84). Try to include vegetables in your diet by cooking different types of dishes so that you can also enjoy your meals.

There is no perfect fruit or vegetable. There is no single fruit or vegetable which can provide all of the nutrients we need to keep our body healthy. Therefore, including a variety of fruits and vegetables, every day is important. Stir-fried vegetables are one of the good dishes to add as many vegetables as you like to eat in large quantities.
