Eating healthy, doesn't mean fruits, vegetables and water... Only. Well that was what I thought before. I thought salads were good and chocolate was bad. But hey! Good news random chocolate lovers!
It is NOT bad! I read somewhere that a trick to losing weight was having dessert for breakfast. Yea, like cake or a bar of chocolate. Just one bar, let's not go overboard. But anyway yea apparently that excess sugar consumed, will be lost with the day's energy consumption and cause its consumed early, it throws your body into overdrive to start consuming the energy, as compared to an apple or whatever. See if you had cake for dessert at dinner, it'll just go to your hips cause you tend to sleep in an hour or so.
And thinking back, when I was small and tiny where the memory saddens me at times, I used to do that! I used to party so much that I would be so hungry at like 8ish or 9 in the morning but way to exhausted to actually get out of bed to get food so I used to pop chocolates in my mouth then snooze and wake a little later and have a proper meal. And somehow my weight either maintained or dropped.
Well now I'm older. I don't party no more or have not yet, and I need to lose weight proper and I wanna live longer too. I don't wanna live till 150 years old or whatever but how do they do it? I mean as a Singaporean, you see the food your elders eat and you think, they can't be healthy! Like come on, rice rice and more rice. Then there's the Sambal Kang Kong which floats in oil, there's all the fried food and whatever so what am I missing here?
So I read, foods that help you live longer include:
Brightly coloured fruit and vegetables cause of the nutrients they contain. They have natural pigments that give them their colour, can actually prevent cancer.
Dark Chocolate cause the cocoa beans are packed with antioxidants that can help cut the risk of heart diseases. One square a day is enough to boost your health though. Just one.
Oily Fish such as Salmon, Sardine and Trout actually reduce risk that can be associated with red meat, like heart diseases. Oily food has many vitamins that are good for the immune system and have been linked to a lowered risk of heart disease, brain damage and stroke.
Green Tea. Which I don't like so moving along.
Olive Oil reduces risk of heart diseases and stroke.
I always knew Olive Oil was the healthier option, and the more expensive one, but I never understood why cause you associate oil with fat. Yea, well now you know.
