How To Eat Healthily And Economically ?

BroccoliPrevent colorectal cancer

Low-fat/Skimmed Dairy ProductsPrevent osteoporosis

OatsPrevent heart diseases

Page 8: ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

Functional Food – OatsScientific studies have confirmed that eating oats food can help prevent heart disease

How it works:Soluble oats (Beta-glucan) absorb cholesterol-filled particles in the intestines Such cholesterol will not be “recycled” againCholesterol level will be reduced

Quantity needed3 grams of soluble fibre per day, about 70 grams of oats

Page 9: ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

Healthy Breakfast OptionsChoose breakfast food that are low in fat and high in fibre

Low-fat Prevent overweight and high cholesterol level

High-fibre Prevent constipationPromote satiety, which helps avoid over-eatingSoluble fibre can help reduce cholesterol level

Oats, whole-grain bread, fruits, unpolished rice, brown rice
