Reflection

As I view my eating habits, I realise, I do take in and have a high-salt content diet.
I consume a lot of meat, even though I do not realise it. I realise that I can consume and
pick a much more healthier choice of meat instead of unhealthy ones like mutton or meat.
I realise, I can eat more vegetables that are boiled instead of fried and more fruits.

No, to be truthful, I am aware of the unhealthy diet I am consuming. High in salt. High in fat. High in cholesterol. However, after doing this PT, I am much more aware of my diet as I stare in awe at the high salt content that I got from HPB website about some food that I had consumed.

Yes, they are rather useful. They provide useful information like the salt content, the energy level so that we can compare which food is much better for our health.

My suggested one-dish meal is healthier because of the better choice of meat chosen-> Less fat-> Less salt-> Less oil. More vegetables added provide an additional source of energy etc. That we can consume without taking in unhealthy meat products.

One-Dish Meal

One-dish Meal

One of the dishes I took was the mutton soup. The mutton soup contained mutton meat basically, meaning it is high in salt content making it more unhealthy.

How I will modify the dish:
By reducing the amount of fattening meat- mutton, I can add in other more nutritional meat like chicken or fish to make chicken/fish soup, which is more savoury and tastes less oily and even better. Besides that, I can add more vegetables to it to increase the dietary fibre content and more nutrition. Vegetables are much more healthier and a better choice because of its rich source of nutrients for our body.

Initially, all the soup contain was mutton. There was a layer of oil on the surface. By eating this, more oil, fats and unhealthy nutrients will be taken in.

If we add more vegetables and change the choice of meat, it would be much healthier, less oily, and much better for our health.
