Secret to Longevity

Secret to Longevity

There are no less than half a dozen of people telling me that I have a long life. A couple of them are professional fortune-tellers, and the others may probably possess sixth sense. Well, one person's comment about my being able to live for a long time comes from my personal doctor. After looking at my recent blood test result, he gave me a clean bill of health.

I am not a health fanatic, and do very little exercise. I eat and consume almost everything and anything. Some are considered healthy, and some are not. For whatever I eat - good or bad for my body, I eat it in moderation.

  • Offal, feet and trotters
  • chicken skin, parson's nose (bums)
  • bone cartilage, crispy fish bones and fins, shark fin
  • pork fat and crackling
  • whole milk and its products, ice cream
  • steamed/fried yum-char items
  • saturated/unsaturated oils and fats
  • leafy/non-leafy vegetables, melons, seaweed, mushrooms, fungus
  • fresh/dried/candied fruits
  • nuts, melon seeds, sunflower seeds
  • fresh/frozen/dried fish, roes, shark
  • crustacean, shell fish
  • red meat, white meat, poultry, game
  • curry with/without coconut milk
  • fried/boiled rice, fried noodles, pasta
  • plain/boutique breads
  • doughnuts, pastries, biscuits, cakes, kuehs
  • jam, vegemite, cheese spread, Logical, Pro-Activ, mayonnaise
  • cereals, wheat germ
  • fish fingers, hamburgers, pizza, fish and chips
  • water, coffee, tea, Chinese tea, fruit juices, milk, soya milk
  • bone stock soup, meat/fish/vegetable soup

We are so blessed to have such abundant food varieties in the world, and yet so many people have to turn to man-made vitamin supplements, concentrates and extracts to keep them healthy. Overdosing oneself with some of these laboratory-prepared items may cause more harm than good.
