想念妈妈的“粗茶淡饭”。Mum's cooking, a luxury?








































现代的人,特别是住在城市的,都鲜少有机会吃到健康又美味的妈妈菜。对我们来说,能吃到妈妈或太太煮的粗茶淡饭,就是天底下最幸福的事儿啦!

我就是属于那种几乎100%外食族。早餐,在家里享用嘉康利Shaklee的营养早餐,为一天的营养需求打个底;午餐、晚餐,尽量有机、清淡;晚上回家,再一轮的嘉康利营养,排排毒、修复身体内的细胞。

虽然我尽量有机、清淡,但身在这21世纪的我,就连想单纯的吃一碟青菜,很多时候都是一种奢求!一般情况下,都会是如图片中这样的:多油、多味精、把菜炒到不像菜!因此,我包包里,永远都有“消油、去脂”的Cinch Energy Tea(见图)。

吃饭前,我常观想:每一样食物进入我的身体,就像一股干净的能量流入我的每一个细胞,滋养着这个色身,看到每一个细胞都是喜悦的。过后,一回到家,马上以嘉康利营养来呵护自己。老实说,在这个时代,如果还认为我们可以靠饮食来得到所有的营养,真的是天方夜谭!看看我们吃的肉类,里面蕴含上千种知名的、不知名的药物与病菌;看看我们吃的蔬果,里面所蕴含的化学物质,绝对也不必肉类逊色!

我目前在夏威夷大学修读远程的营养与饮食Applied Nutrition”硕士研究班,因为我真的清楚了解到营养的重要性。所以,每当朋友看到我服用嘉康利时,总是说我怕死咩?,我的总是淡淡的回答,不是怕死,是怕病。更怕死不了,拖着、拖着。。。

我能有现在如此健康的身体,50岁的青春,全靠这八年来,嘉康利的滋养。真的感恩嘉康利博士在1951年,就为我开始准备了这么棒的营养。感恩。祝福。爱。

Modern people, especially the city folks like me, very rarely have the luxury of enjoying the home-cooked food. To many people like me, mum’s or wife’s cooking has become a blessing!

I settle my meals almost everyday by eating out. Every first thing in the morning, I have Shaklee supplements to lay the foundation for my daily nutritional needs; lunch and dinner, trying my best to go vegan/organic and simple; when I reach home every evening, I will give my trillions of body cells another round of Shaklee supplements.

Although I do my best to go vegan/organic simple meals, living in this modern world, eating a plate of simple vegetable can at times be a luxurious demand. This is because sometimes the plate of vegetable can look like my order this evening. So, I always carry Cinch Energy Tea (refer picture) with me. A sachet of it in hot water, will help me solve the biggest problem of eating out: too much fats!

Besides this, before I eat, I always visualize that when the food enters my body system, it will be like a stream of pure energy flowing through my body, nourishing all my cells, and I visualize that all my cells are active and healthy. In fact, if we still insist that by dieting alone, we can get all the nutrients we need for a healthy body, it’s like fairy tales now. By consuming food, be it meat or vegetables, we inevitably pouring thousands of unknown chemiclas into our body system.

I am now pursuing my Masters degree in Applied Nutrition with long-distance study, University of Hawaii, coz I realize the importance of nutrition and supplementations. Whenever my friends see me take Shaklee supplements, they always jokingly ask me, “takut mati ah?” my answer is always the same too, “not afraid of death, but takut sakit, and takut mau mati tak boleh mati!”

My annual medical report so far is 100% very satisfactory, and my “baby-look” at the age of 50, I owe all my health and wealth to Shaklee. Truly grateful to Dr Shaklee for creating such high-quality supplements in 1915. Gan-en. Blessings. Love.
