Her lecture is inspiring, which always made my eyes shine with hopes in every of her class
Now, Let's me share with you what I've learned :)
Do you know?
How much servings of fruits and vegetables are actually enough?
How often should one exercise per week and how long per session?
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and Vegetables should be taken at least 5 servings per day, best with mixture of 5 different colors such as red (apples, cherries), yellow (banana, orange) purple (grapes, blueberries), green (leafy vegetables) and white (garlic, mushrooms). However, we are advisable to go more than 5 servings per day, just not to take extreme on one type of color of fruit or vegetable.
So how much is consider as one serve?
From what have showed above, 1 serving simply means 1 medium size OR to be more accurate, 1 cup of chopped fruits or vegetables approximately about 100g.
Exercise
You might always wonder. We have actually done a lot of exercise indirectly in our daily routine.
For example we walk everyday from car to office; walk up stairs; lifting heavy documents or carrying heavy bags around;
giving our car a bubble wash once a week; helping mummy to do some house chores
So is that consider as exercise, no?
Actually, those are consider as labor; not exercising
if it's consider as 'exercise' also it can barely replace the real workout
Physical exercise is not only a bodily activity; but to enhance and maintains our physical fitness and wellness.
It's can be flexibility training; aerobic and anaerobic exercise
so stop thinking life is such easy!
indoor or outdoor - get yourselves out of the house and start sweating :D
