HEALTH and the city event

So much fun and information taken away! Attended one of the workshops prepared by Dani Renouf, Registered Dietian - Bone Density. Learned a lot from her.

Some of the key points are:
- Women need more calcium than men in general especially after they reach age of 50
- The best form of calcium supplement is CITRATE as it's easier to be absorbed by the body.
- Frozen fish is just as good as fresh fish in terms of nutrition values. It's suggested to have fish at least 3 times a week.
- Traditional Chinese way of making soup is great. Chinese people tend to put pork or beef bones and vegetables in the soup. Great way of getting calcium.
