Hi Ken,
It is like a car, a good car with good engine and good petrol will run faster and longer
Kuanhoong,

Hi Nirmal,

I love creative writing.
Nice post, but without a good night sleep, all these nutrients is not doing me any good ..
Hi Bee Lee,
So your top nutrient is a good night sleep huh
Hi, what a great post. It is so easy to get caught up in the “eat what’s in the cupboard” trap rather than what you body actually needs. Did you know that wisdom says a pregnant woman’s craving for certain items (I’ve heard some want coal!!) is because that particular “food” contains the very mineral / nutrition in the right quantity that her body needs at that time. Love the variation in your posts. Good work.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your nice compliment
Interesting post buddy. Stumbled.
Hi Baron,
Thanks for the stumbled
Kuanhoong,
When did you turn into a nutritionist ? How come I did not know ?
USDA – United State Department of Agriculture has a very simple food pyramid algorithm.
You might want to check out these links :

It teaches you various food group and proportion.
It is ironic that we have the best tool here in the US and yet we have the most overweight and the highest cardiac disease rate.
