Healthy Filipino Food For The Busy Professional

This book is dedicated to Filipinos and more specifically, the 10 million Filipino Overseas Foreign Workers in the world. It is written by a fellow OFW who understands the longing for familiar food when you have been away too long and the need to balance our needs with healthy living and healthy eating where food fads come and go. This is an attempt to help rein in some of the effects, such as hypertension that comes from stress and poor eating habits that has become all too prevalent. In this book, I introduce the basics of DASH--Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension--to a modified collection of our most familiar Filipino dishes to begin the conversation that must take place. That is, how can the Filipino traditional diet serve the health needs of today? How can we 'eat' Filipino in ways that are good for our bodies and health? How do we keep it simple, healthful and yet, traditionally Filipino so that we can cook within a practical time frame everyday, enjoy our cultural affinity with home and be sure that what we are putting into our bodies is good for us. This book contains nearly 30 recipes of daily meals, snacks, soups and beverages that will guide you towards forming new habits in how you eat and what you eat.
