Balance Diet

I went to medical check up few days ago but the doctor told me the result that is not so good for my health. My blood pressure level is 133 which is a little high than normal rate(130). What's more, my cholesterol level is also higher than normal level. I didn't know why since everything is okay for me before enter the university. Honestly, I'm worry because I'm still too young to get those chronic deceases. However, the doctor told me that I wouldn't get these deceases if I control my daily diet. It's a good news for me.

What is balance diet?

Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the food groups. It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, refined sugar, salt and alcohol. The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the recommended levels.

As what we can see on the plate above, the food that we should consume the most is fruits and vegetables and then following by bread, other cereal and potatoes. The least food that we can consume is foods containing high level of fat and sugar which can leads to heart attack and diabetics.

There are some sample meals below.

Sample Meals

A high nutrient-dense lunch would look something like this:

2 slices whole wheat bread
Deli turkey
1 slice roasted red pepper
romaine lettuce
1 tsp mayonnaise

Maldives - My dream place for vacation is now with lot of trash!

Floating in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are the cream of the crop when it comes to beach holidays. The waters here are their own brand of blue. The sands are blindingly white. And phalanxes of palm trees stand to attention. Here is some of the pictures of Maldives.

                                           

             

Isn't the Island beautiful?

It is a dream place for me to have a vacation there at a future date. However, I feel so bad and upset when

I read a post somewhere few days ago. You what to know the reason that make me feel so upset?

This is because, besides the beautiful beaches and sands in Maldives, there is also an isle of trash!

People produce so many rubbish day by day and hence produce an island of trash - Thilafushi Island.

Rubbish island: Smoke billows from Thilafushi Island, not far from the densely populated capital of the Maldives, Male. The island is where all the trash discarded by Maldivians and tourists ends up.

Refuse from the residents of Male is ferried to nearby Thilafushi Island where the island nation’s sole dumpsite is located.

A resident of Male tending to her plants in an apartment overlooking a local dump where trash is collected from the city and later moved to nearby Thilafushi Island.

The local government showing a figure that visitors to the Maldives created on average 7.2kg of waste per day while the residents of Male created 2.8kg of rubbish each day. Try to imagine, there are thousands visitors that travel to Maldives everyday and each of them create 7kg of trash each day. This will make up a lot of rubbish just in the short time.

If the local government, local residents and the tourists are continued to produce the trash in this trend. After a few ten years later, there might be no beautiful beaches and sands in Maldives anymore but just an island with full of rubbish.

Thus, all people should responsible in this issue and try the best to not produce so much trash through 3R activities which are reuse, reduce and recycle!
