I have studied “Home Economics” and I actually love to eat

You are what you eat

In our modern or instant society, we tend to eat a lot more rubbish! Proper Food & Nutrition remains merely a concept for some of us. .. yet, I have lived rather carelessly. I have taken my good health for granted! I realize that it takes a conscious effort to eat properly and once we are more conscious about this, we tend to make better choices.

If yes, dont worry, you can make changes! I am still working on these areas and i do commit the “crimes” once in a while but i dont beat myself up over it. Hey, please dont feel bad and then you reach for more comfort foods! Make the changes now. Slowly…

King of Fruits!

I had this incredible crave for Durians and so i did some research to “justify” this expensive taste. As it turns out, Durian has a rich content of phytonutrients, antioxidant, protein, vitamins and minerals. These are particularly beneficial at the moment- organosulfur, tryptophan, Vit B6, magnesium, potassium, zinc and iron.

• Durian is extremely nutritious because it is rich in vitamin B, C and E and with high iron content. Eating durian is alleged to restore the health of ailing humans and animals.
• The fruit is an excellent source of many health benefiting B-complex groups of vitamins; a rare feature among fruits, such as niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) and thiamin (vitamin B-1). These vitamins are essential in the sense that body requires them from external sources to replenish.
• It also contain good amount of minerals like manganese, copper, iron and magnesium. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells. Iron is required for red blood cell formation.
• Fresh durian fruit is a very rich source of potassium. Potassium in an important electrolyte of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure.
