Eating Well While Eating out
Chinese style tea restaurants also offer healthy choices of food. Doris suggests us to choose food items that are steamed, grilled, stewed and/or try to avoid dishes that are stir-fried or deep-fried.
Learn to Say No
Lastly, Doris reminds us not to be shy to indicate our preference when eating out with family and friends. Try to demonstrate the ways of healthy eating habit to them! Say no to fatty and salty food!
