You Are What You Eat

Dear Editor,

Undertaking a healthy lifestyle and diet will certainly go a long way to reducing a person’s risk of developing illnesses. Is it then possible to dine healthily when you’re out, please offer some suggestions

Dear Olivia,

 

The Okinawans are well known for their longevity and their healthy diet is the thing worth to look into, such as bitter gourd with lots of vitamin, protein-rich pork, cholesterol-free seaweed, and most of all the low calorie sea grape, also known as "green caviar." For a fresh approach towards a healthy lifestyle, try NAHA, an authentic Okinawan restaurant located at Tai Koo Shing which serves up health-conscious Okinawa cuisine.

If that still doesn't sound healthy enough for you, go organic at BEO. As it name suggests, head chef Mike Rickman uses only organic ingredients to create a rotating menu that includes the not-to be missed grilled scallop with pomegranate reduction and mushroom quinoa;slipper lobster soup with savoury vanilla crème fraiche while the mains include arugula and beet fettuccine with spanner crab ragout; mustard crusted Alaskan halibut served with warm green onion potato salad and fennel stewed tomatoes. Happy munching on these healthy alternatives!
