Healthy cooking tips

1. Avoid using reheated oil as the toxins released could cause cardio-vascular diseases over time.
2. Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice. White rice is essentially a processed form of white rice, with most of the vitamins, minerals and fibers lost during the "processing".
3. Choose canola oil for baking and frying, olive oil for dressing over other oils and fats.
4. Prefer the use mung bean (dal) over others when possible as it is easily digestible.
5. Opt for the use of honey rather than sugar as a sweetener.

Of course, these are only guidelines and need to be used with discretion.
