🤠🐄 In a previous post, we established that milk does not contain hormones or antibiotics, but should you choose organic or non-organic?

The short answer is that organic or non-organic is a personal choice. According to BC dairy, “Both conventional and organic dairy farmers have environmentally friendly practices. Organic dairy producers feed their animals with crops grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Meanwhile, conventional milk production results in overall lower greenhouse gas emissions as cow productivity increases.” All BC Dairy farms must adhere to The Code of Practice for the care and handling of cattle. You can guarantee safe, high-quality and nutritious BC milk regardless of if you purchase organic or non-organic.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent carbohydrate source that offers a variety of nutrients, including fibre, vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants. When prepared correctly, sweet potatoes can be incorporated into any balanced diet. 😋 Here are some ways we recommend it:

🍠 Simply bake or boil! Sweet potatoes are fantastic on their own, having a mild starchy sweet flavour.
🍠 Roasted sweet potato with different toppings like chives, onion, yogurt, or peppers.
🍠 Sweet potato as a grain/carbohydrate substitute! Try replacing your rice, pasta or typical white potato for sweet potato a couple times this week. It would surely mix up the flavours in your food as well as your nutritional profile.

紅薯是一種很棒的碳水來源,它提供豐富的營養素,其中包括纖維,維生素C,維生素A和抗氧化劑。如果準備得當,紅薯可以融入任何均衡飲食中。以下是我們推薦的一些準備方法:

🍠 簡單地烘烤或煮熟!紅薯本身就很棒,含有溫和的澱粉甜味。
🍠 用不同的配料搭配烤紅薯,例如韭菜、洋蔥、酸奶或胡椒。
🍠 用紅薯代替主食(穀物/碳水)!本週可以試試用紅薯代替米飯,義大利面或白土豆。它肯定能融入你的飲食,豐富你的味蕾及營養攝入。

Have you ever had Glutinous Rice Dumplings (also called Zongzi)? They’re a traditional festive food eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival! 🥢⛩🎊

The chewy, tender, and sweet glutinous rice is wrapped in bamboo leaves, and there are numerous savoury or sweet fillings. 😋 Most of them have glutinous rice, salted duck egg yolks, mung bean, and pork. I like to add tri-colour quinoa, mushrooms, and chickpeas to increase their protein and fibre content.

There are also meatless options available. 🌱 You can buy them from most Asian supermarkets. Happy Dragon Boat Festival! 🥳

端午節!
你喜歡吃糭子嗎?市面上售賣的糭子油分和熱量較高. 大家可以考慮包一些健康又有創意的糭,可以加三色藜麥,鷹嘴豆或紅豆,以增加蛋白質和膳食纖維,口感亦會更好!

MILK! 🤠🐄 Dairy/milk is used in so many of our day-to-day foods, but many wonder about the use of antibiotics or hormones in milk. Here are the answers:

There are NO GROWTH HORMONES OR ANTIBIOTICS! Milk is regulated by the Canadian government and the BC government if you're choosing milk from BC. There are extensive quality checks and tests to ensure the safest, highest quality production for consumers. Milk is, however, fortified/enriched with vitamins and minerals. For some foods, fortification is mandatory, as per the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Canadian milk has been fortified with vitamins A and D since the 1970s to ensure adequate amounts are added to maintain health.

🤠🐄乳製品和牛奶跟我們的日常生活息息相關,但許多人都懷疑牛奶中含有各種抗生素或激素。 究竟奶類製品是否含有激素或抗生素?

沒有! 如果您選擇 BC 省的牛奶,牛奶受加拿大政府和 BC 省政府監管。以確保為消費者提供最安全、最高質量的產品,牛奶必須通過廣泛的質量檢查和測試。 牛奶更富含維生素和礦物質。 根據加拿大食品檢驗局 (CFIA) 的規定,某些食品必須添加各種營養素。 自 1970 年代以來,加拿大牛奶已添加了維生素 A 和 D,以確保添加足夠的量以維持健康。

Quinoa 🍚 is often called a superfood because it’s high in nutrients and a complete protein! Batch-cook quinoa during meal prepping and use these tips to enjoy it more into your diet!

🍴 Tip 1: Replace or Cook With Rice 🍴 Rice and quinoa are a great combination of texture and nutrients. All you have to do is mix the quinoa with rice while you cook and voila, you’ve successfully done it!

🍴 Tip 2: Quinoa Salads 🍴 First cook quinoa as a base, then add desired ingredients, such as avocado, red onion, cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and a little bit of salt/pepper as you see fit!

🍴 Tip 3: Quinoa & Oatmeal 🍴 An easy way to add diversity to your breakfast is by adding a spoon of quinoa to your oatmeal as you cook. The high protein content of quinoa mixed with the fibre of oatmeal makes for a great combination that will start your day well.

🍴 Tip 4: Mixed in Granola Bars 🍴 If you love to bake, try adding quinoa into granola bars for some added diversity. Granola bars are a great snack to make in bulk and then take around with you. They’re easy to prepare, quick, and tasty!

🍴 Tip 5: Stuffed in Vegetables 🍴 It’s easy to sneak quinoa into vegetables like bell peppers. Simply cut the peppers into a cup shape and put cooked quinoa inside for a healthy, nutritious snack!

Ever heard someone say “soy will give you breast cancer”? 🤨 It can be a concerning thing to hear if soy is a key ingredient in your diet. 🌱 Good news- research shows this is a myth! 🚫

Want more science? 👉 One risk factor of breast cancer is having high estrogen levels which soybeans are believed to increase. However, research on soy provides more evidence of it actually being beneficial towards prevention of breast cancer, rather than harmful. Isoflavones found in soy possess similar properties to estrogen but are non-hormonal, therefore inhibiting the production of cancer cells by reducing the harmful excess of hormones. Isoflavones bind to estrogen receptors and decrease their levels in the body.

So, if you ever hear this myth again, just know that soy is actually good for you! 👍

你有沒有聽過有人說「大豆會導致乳腺癌」?如果大豆是您飲食中的關鍵成分,這可能是一件令人擔憂的事情。但是,研究證明這只不過是一個神話。乳腺癌的一個危險因素是雌激素水平高,據信大豆會增加。然而,關於大豆的研究提供了更多證據,表明它實際上竟然有效預防乳腺癌,而不是有害。大豆中發現的異黃酮具有與雌激素相似的特性,但不含激素,因此通過減少有害的過量激素來抑制癌細胞的產生。異黃酮會與雌激素合併,降低雌激素在體內的水平。所以,不要相信「大豆會導致乳腺癌」啊!

Congee is a staple breakfast in Chinese culture, but is it healthy? 🤔

Common ingredients which are typically fish, vegetable stock, ginger root, mustard greens, and spices🍲. This fish congee would be low in saturated fat and sugar; plus it’s full of nutrients! 🥬 For example, fatty fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids that help your brain health.🧠

在中國文化中,粥是典型的早餐主食,但它健康嗎? 🤔

許多人認為粥不營養也不健康,但這其實完全取決於你如何搭配它!人們通常會選擇魚、蔬菜高湯、姜根、芥菜、香料🍲等作為配料。這種魚粥的飽和脂肪及糖含量低,且營養豐富! 🥬例如,多脂魚富含 omega-3 脂肪酸,它有助於你的大腦健康。🧠
