SIMPLE MESSAGES TIPS FOR GOOD EATING Make breakfast the largest and dinner the lightest meal of the day. Be a nibbler, not a gourmet. Eat your salad before you eat the meal. Don't starve yourself and overeat subsequently. Before cooking, remove all fat from meats and also skin from chicken. Avoid purchasing minced meat, the butcher finds it more profitable to sell this without removing fat surrounding the flesh portion. Do not sieve wheat and millet flours as it reduces the nutrients and fibre. Repeated heating of oils should be avoided. Use a scrubber and not a peeler for removing the skin from vegetables. Avoid deep frying and prefer steamed foods. Use non-stick pans and vessels to cut down the use of cooking oils. Fast foods and canned foods are costly , both for your pocket and your heart. Don't overuse salt. Dine at least two hours before you go to bed. Yellow, orange and green vegetables and fruits add life to your heart. Remember that heat, light and air are enemies of anti-oxidant vitamins. Don't cut vegetables and expose them to light for long periods. Pressure cook the vegetables. As age advances, eat less, exercise more. Eating on time, a variety of natural plant foods with low fat milk and less salt, in quantities to maintain ideal weight is the key to a healthy long life.
