Health

Life Style, Eating, Cooking.

To stay well and healthy is very important for all of us, what we need is to be active, especially for those who are in their later life.  Walking, sports, gardening are excellent for keeping us fit, however eating the right food is a must.  Trying to cut down on fat, sugar intake is necessary, and to identify which food contains those substances is not very easy.  May be by choosing less processed food, deep fried food, have more fruits and vegetables is the way to go.  I could do with less extra kilograms to be healthy.


We have been joining a sport's club,  the keenagers' table tennis for the past few years, the game is fun, and we both are loving it. Without knowing it for more than three hours every week,  we are busy doing exercises, and having fun at the same time.  Fun, fun, having fun is a part of to stay healthy, fun in the garden, fun cooking, fun doing art, fun in a book club, they are all positive activities that gain us better well being.

Now, how about cooking, cooking good food for better health.  These are a few samples of delicious meals what I do for my family.  Cook chicken, serve without its skin.  Steamed rice instead of pilaf or fried rice. Vegetables and salad are a must have,  fresh fruit for desserts instead of rich pudding.  Keep the pudding for a treat, but you could have stuffed poached apple with custard.

Cooking Crown of Chicken
A part of a chicken-the breast and the wing is called the crown, cook in light oil and butter.  When it is cooked, discard the skin, serve the meat with its own juices.  It is a tasty and delicious chicken and less fat.

Fresh Vegetables
Stuffed apples are ready to poach in syrup

Cooking for growing up family, for adults and for the elderly are the same,  in terms of giving them a well-balanced diet.  Wishing losing extra kilos is not too hard, ' discipline' is the key, that is what I have to do.

A healthy lifestyle is the choice then. . . . . .

We both had a good morning, to play many games of table tennis in Drouin.   Started with a difficulty finding where the sports venue was, but It was a good day and meeting a lot of talented ladies who are over sixty, I am very proud of them.  Keep it up, girls!!!.

In our club, I think everyone is eager to keep healthy.

We like to have our fresh fruit daily.



Thanks For Stopping By.
