Week 8 Reflections 

There's quite a bit of truth to the old semi-philosophical musing, "You are what you eat." But most of us really have no idea what we're eating. So I know a website that may be very helpful to a lot of people who cook by themselves . they will help u count the amounts of calories or Fats in that recipe . The website is

 Based on some research, drinking hot drinks would be better than drinking cold drinks after having our meals. It is good for our digestion.

Most Chinese Food comes with a lot of oil and they are always served in huge portions . But most of them are very slim  that is because they have a habit to drink a hot Chinese tea after having meals. So this is the secret.

From now on , it is better to drink hot drinks rather than cold drinks .

Week 6 Reflections

I learn the differences between Good and Bad Cholesterols .

Bad Cholesterol

LDL transports cholesterol from the liver to the cells, where certain amounts are needed. However, any remaining cholesterol can be chemically changed (a process called oxidation) and taken up by the cells in the artery walls where it starts to build up – it’s this process that causes narrowing of the arteries or atherosclerosis. Consequently, high levels of LDL cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease – that’s why it’s sometimes called ‘bad’ cholesterol.

Good Cholesterol

In contrast, HDL carries excess cholesterol away from the arteries to the liver, where the body gets rid of it. As a result, high levels of HDL cholesterol are thought to protect against heart disease and so, are sometimes called ‘good’ cholesterol.

Week 4 Reflections 

 

I have learned that many things are like this week like how long and fast the body takes to digest the foods we eat .  For healthy adults, it's usually between 24 and 72 hours. 

After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine.

Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion and absorption of water. Elimination of undigested food residue through the large intestine usually begins after 24 hours.

Complete elimination from the body may take several days.

WEEK THREE REFLECTIONS

I learnt that vegetables are full of critical vitamins and minerals, but when they are cooked too long, all of these powerful nutrients are destroyed and leach out into the cooking water. Try to cook your vegetables for less than 15 minutes or eat them raw, steamed, grilled . 

And when buying meat , try the leaner cuts instead of buying the fattier cuts of meat .
