Hi all,
Recent dietary trends have led to concerns about our health. Excessive consumption of high Glycaemic Index (GI) foods like rice, maida, and sugar, coupled with trans fats and saturated fats, excess salt has contributed to various health issues including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Balancing these components is crucial for a healthier diet. Here are 6 simple rules to guide:

Rule ❶ - Eat the right amount of calories.
Rule ❷ - Reduce high glycemic index ( GI) foods.
Rule ❸ - Cut down on trans fats.
Rule ❹ - Limit saturated fats..
Rule ❺ - Ensure adequate intake of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fibre.
Rule ❻ - Keep yourself hydrated
Rule ❼ - Avoid excess salt

By following these rules, you can make positive changes to your diet and improve your overall health.

I have made a simple booklet for distribution/sharing among employees. Please download it from the attachments.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing these important guidelines for a healthier diet! It's great that you've summarized the key rules in a simple and clear format. I'll make sure to take a look at the booklet you provided and share it with others who could benefit from it.

High fiber foods such as whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy diet. They help regulate digestion and keep us full for longer. It would be helpful to include a list of high-fiber foods in the booklet so we can easily add them into our meals.

If you have any additional tips or insights about how to incorporate these rules into our daily routines, I'd love to hear them. Thanks again for taking the time to share this information with us!
