5 Healthy Food That You Crave All The Time
There is always 1st time for everything. And this is my first post for Wellness Wednesday,
initiated by Rina and Maureen.
I took the challenge for following reasons:
- Practicing my English so I don’t forget them. If I can’t practice the language as I used to be, at least the writing ability still there #LOL
- Self-commitment for writing, regardless what language it is. I hope by having this “obligation” –if I may say so- I will improve my writing skill.
So, here you go. My first
English posting for Wellness Wednesday where I chose 5 fealthy foods that I crave
all the time. Well, at least I am
keeping them ready on our fridge ^_^
Vegetables
Took it after my Mom, I also now
serve vegetables on the tables everyday.
There is no day without these veggies.
Not only because my origin Sundanese (Indonesian ethnics who famous
eating rare vegetables) but I understand the importance of this foods. I am trying to serve different of vegetables
for the kids to learn that vegetables is also playful. It was hard in the beginning but now they
love it already. My eldest even ask
salad for her lunch box as you can see here.
Milk
I don’t know whether I may put this
one on the list but milk is one of my everlasting drink. I started drinking milk as young as I could
remember until now which is almost all my life.
I like the taste milk, the plain ones, especially.
Afraid of getting weight by consuming milk
? Nop !
Because milk contains vitamin A, D, calcium and protein. This nutritious drink is healthy to satisfy
you from hunger. If I struck by hunger
after late hour, I sometimes take a small cup of hot white milk with a slice of
plain bread or crackers. They successfully
put me into sleep !
Water
Though Indonesian is one of Top
Tea Producer in the world and most of Indonesian also like consuming tea, well
count me out, folks ! As I grew up in
the family who rarely serve tea in the house except for the guest, I tend to
put aside tea on my drinking list.
Sorry, no offense ^_^. I couldn’t
remember why but my parents prefer drink water than tea even coffee back then. Believe it or not, my Dad is not drinking coffee.
Now, I do the same way at the
house. We have 5 gallons of mineral
water that we drink all up within 2 weeks.
So, count by yourself our average consumption. Four of us (Hubby, Me and 2 kids) is even
have our own bottle. We never leave home
without our bottle filled with water.
Lack of water can put us difficult
to concentrate. It is surely not good
specially for kids when they supposed to study during school, or us –the parent-
during office hour, right ?
Strawberry
I like berries but living in
Indonesia kind of limit you to access to kinds of berries. Or should you find them, it may cost you a
lot. So it is very fortunate when I am
able to buy a local strawberry in traditional market. Thought it is a bit sower but I like the
effect each time I bite; fresh and juicy.
When I read that strawberry has
more vitamin C than oranges, contains higher antioxidant compare to others, not
mentioning they are a saturated fats. That
moment I know it is good to put into our dish.
The beauty of strawberry not only
on it looks but also the function. If you
slices then put into water, you have infused water. You cut into pieces, mix with other
vegetables, you end up with salad. You mix with other fruits and pouring a syrup or other sweets, voila...fruit cocktail !
Fish
I was born in a city, near
beach. Back then, fisheries were easier
to find than meat. That what’s my Mom
used to comment if people questioning my preferences on eating meat. The truth is, I like fish more that meat
because if I eat fish then I don’t end up with something stuck on my
teeth.
Now, I have more reasons to add for
serving fish on our dinner table. Fish is not greasy. It contains Omega 3 and less fat compare to
red meat. When it comes to cost, we still could get good
protein in economist way as we can buy fish cheaper than red meat.
Considering child growth, I now and then combine this 2 animal protein sources; red meat and fish.
So, how it yours ?
