Live healthy

Do's

• Eat a diet high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes
• Have more protein since it helps build up muscles and a strong immune system. Food rich in protein includes eggs, dairy products, lean meat, beans and nuts.
• Calcium and vitamin D help prevent osteoporosis. Choose food high in calcium such as fish and shell-fish, green vegetables, milk, tofu, dried fruits, nuts and sesame. Get mild sun exposure for 10-15 minutes daily.
• Clean and cook food thoroughly.
• Drink only bottled water and avoid ice or unpasteurized milk when travelling to places where sanitation is poor or water safety is questionable.

Don'ts

• Sweets, soft drinks and foods with added sugar
• Alcoholic drinks
• Raw or undercooked food e.g. egg, oysters, sashimi, smoked ham
• Water from lakes, ponds, rivers, or streams.
