Taste the Natural Flavour of Food

To help keep calories and cholesterol in check, Michael used to carry a nutrition guide around. Now he uses a smartphone. Even though his diet has somewhat returned to the basics, Michael does not feel like anything is missing from him. “I did not know that plain vegetables, lean pork or bean curd can taste so good.”

Problems Halved as Workout Doubled

Michael does exercise regularly, which keeps his spirit high and his brains clear. “If you are not physically fit, you feel dull and tired, as though your stomach was stuck in grease.” Michael loves playing tennis and golf, and is also fond of swimming and diving. “I usually swim for 30 minutes. When I get out of the water again, my problems have more than halved.”

As heart diseases, diabetes and other chronic diseases come along with age, Michael reminds us to eat the healthy way. “There are so many wonderful things to do and see. We need to keep healthy to enjoy them.”
