Eating Out with Dietitian

Eating a Variety of Foods

Carmela observes that whilst many people do not fully understand the concept of healthy eating or too busy to eat properly, some people are overcautious of their diet that they take in too many supplements.

More and more people have adopted the principle of "less oil, salt and sugar" and "more vegetables". It is also important to try to eat a variety of foods. Remember that there is no single "super food" that contains all the nutrients we need. Through eating a wide variety of foodstuff, one can maintain body health and enjoy the fun of eating at the same time.
