Vegetarian diet



Hi, littlediet is back. The new topic will be covering all about vegetarian, just because I found that there are lesser related information we can grab online. Choosing between a vegetarian diet and a meat-eating diet is a very personal and individual decision that should be made with as much information and education as possible. 
If you plan to include 1 to 2 times of vegetarian diet in your weekly meal, you are giving yourself a chance to enjoy more variety of vegetables at the same time support for earth to reduce dependency on animals and animal’s products. Besides, you might be able to avoid some negative consequences of animals and animals products on our bodies. This is relating with some issues that animals are raised with the use of antibiotics and growth hormones, especially commercial meats (sausage, nugget, ham and others processed foods). Farmers use antibiotics on their livestock to prevent them from the diseases of animals while growth hormones are being used for animals to grow larger in a short period. This can let them earn more in a short season. Recently, there are news reports about fake meats being sold around the market (Although I haven't encounter similar case in hospital, these kind of case is popular among society). Thus, we should choose products from reliable supplier or try to reduce frequency of consuming meats and say 'hi' to vegetarian diet. But, is vegetarian diet provide us the adequate nutrient we need daily? Is vegetarian diet suitable for children who are having growing period? The answer to this question will be reveal slowly in next few post. Cheers.


如果你能够在每星期养成食用12次的素食饮食,你其实能够摄取到更多的蔬果和豆类营养,同时能够支持地球,减少对动物或动物肉类制成品的依赖。在同一时间,您可避免动物和动物肉类制成品对我们的身体造成的不良成分。这是因为有关动物的抗生素和生长激素,特别是动物肉类制成品(香肠,火腿等加工食品)。农民使用抗生素,以防止他们的牲畜患上疾病,而生长激素用于使动物在短期内快速成长,以便可以在短期类赚取盈利。最近,一些新闻报道有关于各种假肉类销售在各地市场里。因此,我们应选择可靠的供应商的产品或尽量减少食用肉类的频率,开始养成食用素食。接下来,我会和大家解释素食的种种好处和习惯。

Nutrients in Fish


The reason I am trying to share more tips about seafood is because we may consume much meat during Christmas and year end gathering and is time to control our meat intake. As you all know, fish is a source of protein. Most kind of fish are lower in fat than others protein sources such as chicken, beef, pork, lamb and even poultry. The cholesterol content of fish is lower than meat I mentioned too. Deep sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring are high in type of poly saturated fat (PUFA) called omega-3 fatty acids. The consumption of omega-3 fatty acids has been reported correlated to the decrease of risk of heart disease.



鱼是很好的蛋白质来源。大多数的鱼含有的脂肪是低过其他动物如牛,猪,羊,甚至家禽等。同样的,它的胆固醇含量也比其他肉类低。深海鱼如三文鱼,鲭,沙丁鱼和鲱是含有大量的多元不饱和脂肪叫Omega-3。这种好的脂肪是可以帮助减低心脏病等的风险。


Sounds healthier right? I strongly encourage people tried more fishes as main meal rather than meat every week.
