diet habit

2. Nutritional imbalance
= Wrong selection
= Wrong way in consumption
ACTUAL
CONSUMPTION
PYRAMID

3. 1. Skip your breakfast
• It is recommended to obtain 30%
of total daily calorie intake from
breakfast.
• It is recommended to obtain at
least 25% of total daily vitamin and
minerals intake from breakfast.
• Short term impact:
• affects cognitive performance and
gastrointestinal function
• Long term impact:
• causes obesity, premature aging
and chronic degenerative diseases

4. 2. Too hot or too cold
• Human gastrointestinal system
is kept at temperature about
36o C.
• Cold water stimulates
constrictions at throat, stomach,
intestine and blood vessels.
• Indirectly giving an impact on
digestive function.
• Hot temperature induces
cellular morphology changes.

5. 3. Overfed
• The size of stomach is
about 45ml at rest; able
to store food up to 1L, or
maximum 2-3L.
• Induces gastrointestinal
problems and chronic
degenerative diseases.

6. 4. No rice but just dishes
• Compare to mid 20th century:
• fat intake has increased 350%
• protein intake has increased 60%
• starch intake has reduced 40%
• It is recommended to obtain 50%-60%
of total daily calorie intake from starchy
food.

7. 5. Cook your vege
• How we process the
vege determines its
nutritional values.
• Most of the vitamins
are destroyed when
cooking temperature
reaching 200o C.

8. • None of natural food contains
complete nutrition.
• Too much of something good
will become bad.
6. Over obsess towards certain food selection

9. 7. More spicy more “shiok”
• Contains abundant source of vitamin C and vitamin B, and capsaicin.
• Stimulates mucous secretion, blood circulation within gastrointestinal
system, and its motility.
• Exceeding tolerance level creates digestive problem e.g.
stomachache, diarrhea, diverticula etc.

10. 8. Luxurious dinner
• It is recommended not more than 30% of total daily calorie intake
from dinner.
• Insulin level is highest during evening time; metabolism rate is slow.
• Eat early as possible, as little as possible.

11. • It is recommended not to consume
more than 500ppm caffeine, almost
equivalent to 50g ordinary coffee
powder.
• Caffeine metabolism usually take
about 2 hours, and may be 4-5 hours
for those who have poor digestion.
• Neuro-stimulating in characteristic,
impairs minerals absorption, and
induces gastric juice secretion.
9. Coffee indulgence after meal

12. • Fruits contain
fructose and
abundant fiber.
•The best time to eat
fruits is first thing in the
morning after a glass
of water.
•Eating fruits right after
a meal is not a great
idea, as it may not be
digested properly. The
nutrients may not be
absorbed properly
either.
