For Pasifika, health is how you feel, your strength, and your connection with family.
Here are six tips that can help you nourish your and your family’s health and wellbeing:
- Keep up your veggies and fruit
I started adding frozen veggies to leftovers for lunch to give my body more goodness.
- Aim to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner to keep you satisfied
When I eat breakfast, I have much more energy for my day.
- Include water as your first choice for hydration
Our family chooses to drink water with meals. It is safe and good for everyone.
- Learn and respond to your body’s hungry and full cues
Before I reach for seconds I ask myself - am I feeling full? Or am I still hungry?
- Less ready-to-eat packaged foods and takeaways
This winter we have been cooking more food at home, and have noticed we don’t get sick as often.
- It’s easier to eat healthy when you plan your meals
Having a meal plan for the week and taking leftovers for lunch saves our family a lot of time and money.
