In Malaysia, most people tend to( live to eat than eat to live). The reason behind it, I don`t noe maybe the food in Malaysia is too good (I guest)! Whatever it is , the foods in Malaysia is also known for its high cholesterol levels and highly sugary stuffs. Among the foods that are not so healthy in the Malaysian Society is the well known (Roti Canai) where it is taken most of the time in the morning. Roti cannai contains 60% oil (Ghee) and 40% flour which is totally not suitable to be eaten in the mornings, where it should be substituted with foods that are least in oil contents like thosai and chapati.
Not to forget,the teh tarik (A frothy combination of milk and steaming water poured rapidly from cup to cup ) is a must eating together with the Roti Canai. Most people neglect the sugar content of the teh tarik which is actually pretty sweet and also has cholesterol , for a cup ( axproximately 250 ml a cup) together with about 3-4 full teaspoon of F&N milk (Sweetened Condensed Milk) is quite disastrous for people from the age of 40 and above, which are more prone to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a complex condition and in most cases need to make major adjustments to their lifestyle and diet.
Sometime don`t be fool by the ads and the milk label that prints their sweetening milk tins (free Cholesterol) its pure hoax.The truth is there is no such a tingy as `free cholesterol', all natural milks has cholesterol.Therefore, Teh tarik, in a reasonable amount, as well as the other foods I have mentioned is the way to avoid from diseases. Eating in moderation is the key of a healthy lifestyle.So,what are you! ( Live To eat or Eat To Live)?
