10 10 point Healthy Living Index: Guidelines for the Hong Kong public What should be done to improve the 10-point Healthy Living Index score? 19 How to eat enough vegetables and fruits (Part 1) Guidelines from Department of Health 1 1 serving of fruit equals: 2 small-sized fruits (e.g. plums) or 1 medium-sized fruit (e.g. orange, apple) or half large-sized fruit (e.g. banana, star fruit) or half a cup of tiny fruit (e.g. grapes) or ¾ cup of fresh fruit juices without added sugar 1 serving of fruit
11 How to eat enough vegetables and fruits? (Part 2) Guidelines from Department of Health 1 1 serving of vegetable equals: 1 bowl of raw leafy vegetables or ½ bowl of cooked vegetables, beans, sprouts, gourds or mushrooms Tips to incorporate more vegetables and fruits in your diet: Replace snacks and desserts with fruits Choose vegetable soups instead of creamy soups Drink fresh fruit juices instead of soft drinks serving of vegetable 21 Comparison of fruit price in Hong Kong with that in the neighbouring regions 1 Region Price($) Hong Kong Ma acau Ja apan orth orea N Ko Orange (1 kg) Banana (1 kg) Apple (1 kg) Mango (1 kg) ppines Phili Indo onesia laysia Mal ran Ir More expensive than in Hong Kong 1 Occupational wages and hours of work and retail food prices: Statistics from the ILO October Inquiry. International Labour Organization, p
12 More tips to ensure eating enough vegetables and fruits Fruit prices in Hong Kong are cheaper than in other Asian countries, should purchase more Not necessarily 2 fruits + 3 vegetables, can be any combination (e.g , since consuming fresh fruits such as bananas is easier than consuming vegetables) 5 servings of vegetables and fruits per day is a minimum requirement, should aim for more A diet low in sugar, fat and salt but high fiber is recommended Always prepare ready-to-eat fruits at home (e.g. bananas, apples) Eat more types of vegetables and fruits (e.g. assorted vegetable pot) For those who find it too troublesome to cook: fresh vegetable juice and/ or fruit juice is a good option 23 Winter Solstice Healthy Menu Chinese mushroom, bean vermicelli and assorted vegetable pot Salt-marinated chicken/stir-fried chicken and celery Steamed fish (tilapia/pomfret) Pork chops with tomato and onion sauce Carrot and turnip with pig elbow soup Brown rice/red rice 24 12
