Slide through to see how you can reshape your plate! ➡️
1️⃣ Why it matters to us? It's not just a chart; it's a science-backed defense. Designed by nutritionists, this guide is built for the Malaysian lifestyle to tackle our nation’s health crisis head-on.
2️⃣ The Foundation: Fruits & Veggies (Level 1)
The biggest shift in 2020! 🥗 Veggies and fruits are now at the base.
• Goal: 3 servings of veggies + 2 servings of fruits daily.
• Why? 90% of Malaysians lack fiber. Balancing our heavy Nasi Lemak or Konlo Mee with extra veggies must to counter high-fat intake.
3️⃣ Quality Energy: Carbohydrates (Level 2)
Goal: 3–5 servings of grains or tubers daily.
• Swap white rice for original carbs like brown rice, corn, or barley to manage blood sugar levels.
4️⃣ The Metabolic Stabilizer: Protein (Level 3)
•Goal: Focus on fish, poultry, beans, and 2 servings of dairy.
• Why? Essential for metabolism and bone health. Prioritizing fish and legumes keeps your body resilient and youthful!
5️⃣ The Danger Zone: Fats, Salt & Sugar (Level 4)
• Goal: As little as possible!
• Warning: Excessive Teh Tarik, Sambal, and fried treats lead straight to high blood pressure and cholesterol. Keep it light!
