Have you ever followed your mom to wet markets? I have and personally dread the experience! But as I observe my mom’s many antics, I can’t help but to feel amazed at my mom’s interesting skills. She walked by the vegetable stalls and will skillfully flip the veggie, giving an in-depth inspection. She did the similar gestures in the fish stalls as well as few other stalls. When asked why she went through the hassle, she simply answered “It must be fresh!” Okay, I hope you know where I am getting at. Fresh food is essential to our body as they contains more vitamins and keep our body nourished and healthy. Try to snack on a carrot instead of a packet of potato chips, and see the difference for yourself!

Secondly, feed yourself organic food. Foods that are grown organically are not affected by pesticide, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones, and are not genetically modified. Apart from that, organic foods not only eliminate greenhouse gas, but also build carbon-storing soil.

Next, go for seasonal fruits or veggies. Fruits or vegetables that are seasonal are the tastiest and contain most nourishment. Remember durians? They taste the best and the juiciest when they are in the season right? Try buying them at times when it’s not in the season, how do they taste? Exactly! The same theory applies to vegetables as well; buy them when they are in the season. Work with the nature and not against it, people!

Fourthly, go for local food instead of imported ones. Check at the local grocer for the food that you need or to morning market for fresh veggies, for their fresh local vegetables and fruits which are also super cheap! The best of all grow your own vegetables or fruits! Cool right?

Apart from that, try to abstain from processed food and embrace unprocessed food instead. By consuming a whole, real food will provide you with energy while reducing energy- intensive production method. Why would you want to eat something that provides lesser energy when you can have more? So, always pick unprocessed food rather than processed ones.

I’ve seen so many people who easily waste their food with no speck of remorse at all! Did you know that we’re contributors to planet warming Methane gas, by wasting so much of food?  Feed on leftovers, and save as much as you can. Don’t waste your food, and as cliché as it may sound, remember that there are so many people out there are starving for a slice of bread when you are getting rid of a box of pizza, leftovers from last night. Sad but true.

I feel a lot smarter now that I know the tricks on how to eat clean and healthy and hope all of those above made a slight difference in your life too! Till we meet again, bye!
