Pomegranate a day, keeps the doctor away!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

Alexandrians gathered on 26th march at Yusraa for one of Kebajikan's program; "Let's talk about food." Now if u think it was a typical video sharing and get-about talk, well it's more than that because everybody leaves today acknowledging and appreciating more of our body and our health.

You ever get so sick of people saying and reminding us to take good care of our health? To exercise often? To eat vegetables and live a healthy diet life blablabla?. Well, after watching the documentary hosted by world famous chef Jamie Oliver it sure knocked senses into us! The video features the food we eat; fast food, junk food, even the health result of a vegetarian and a non-obese person. Just because u're not fat so you think u're healthy?. Think again! In an experiment in this video, the obese guy ran longer than the normal-weight guy. And result shows that the normal weight guy has more fats than the obese. So again..life aren't that simple. Being healthy is something we need to strive for and maintain it. How?. First maybe is by being moderate in everything we eat! Lil bit of fruits, veges, meats, milk, rice and fats..how hard can that be?. :)

The real eye opener was a corpse of an obese man. And what was underneath his skin?. All the fat layers covering the heart and pushing up the lungs causing him to his death. It shows half of his intestine areas was huge lumps of fats! How gross was that?? So again we ask, do we want to be like that person? Do we want to eat ourself to death?? Oh please no, because health is a crown that was awarded for us ONCE. We treasure it..take real good care of it cause once we lose it..we've lost it all. So all, let's start living the way we should be living by exercising, eating the good stuff and stay away from the danger zone..shall we?. ;))

To sum all this up, a very big 'THANK YOU' for:

1. Our chefs of the day; Ukt Sakinah with her healthy yet yummy Okonomiyaki. And ukt Sarah for the all time favourite; Shepard's pie. 
2. Our invited speaker; Ukt Liyana for sharing her experience in cooking and eating while overseas.
3. Our Kebajikan Unit; leader-ed by Ukt Fadhlina and her 2 best women; Ukt Zurainah and Ukt Ulfah for making this evening a successful one! 
4. Last but not least, to the supportive Alexandrian girls who came and made this day even possible!.
