Introduction

Over the last 30 years, we've witnessed drastic technological developments such as audio visual, wireless mechanisms and the discovery plastic. From black & white 10 inch to 47 inch LCD televisions, huge palm sized handphone to a third of its weight and size, plain green font computers to mutlicolor and size computers. Now, almost 70% of our household items are made of plastics, "Everyone can fly" with no frills airlines like Air Asia and "Everyone can drive" with affordable automobiles.

We've also witnessed a great shift in world economy from trading of real goods to the shift of wealth amongst people via world share and commodity trading markets. I realise that if I don't exit fast the market at its high fast enough, my wealth gets shifted to someone else's pocket instead.

All these were made possible with the help of one great invention; the computer. On one hand, these has given us all great comfort in life but on the other hand, these developments has resulted in global warming, which is the beginning of the destruction of the earth. When the weather gets hot, we create air-condition to cool ourselves down at the expense of making the globe warmer. When we're too busy climbing the corporate ladder, the demand for convenience such as packed food and disposable diapers, resulted in a high demand for plastics that leads to non-biodegradable rubbish piling up.

How then, can we help preserve it for our future generation?

10 healthy eating habits

I will be writing a series of articles on the following 10 healthy eating habits:-


  1. Say grace before each meal – ask God to sanctify the food.
  2. Psyllium husk - 2 times a day (one in the morning, one in the night) helps ease bowel movement
  3. Less meat, more vegetables and fruits.
  4. Too much of anything is no good. Eat with variety and in moderation.
  5. Antioxidants - raw garlic, purple cabbage, beetroot, berries and anything red!!
  6. Go organic as much as you can afford to. Make sure they are certified organic.
  7. Home cook food. If you can't cook yourself, find a surrogate mother to cook for you.
  8. Natural is best. Cut down on highly processed food.
  9. Start young – get your children eating habit right.
  10. Go for “preservative free” products.

Stay tuned.....
