Phuong, my partner, has a healthy diet. She never skips breakfast and has eggs, vegetables, and bread for breakfast. She said that it is the most important meal during the day, so she always has a big meal in the morning. In the evening, she eats not too much, because overeating may cause sleeplessness. She never eats fast food or sweet candies or buys soft drinks. Her diet includes enough nutrients, which are recommended by her private doctor. Phuong tries to limit her intake of fats, salt, sodium, and sugar. She told me that she loves fruits and vegetables. Her favorite food is boiled eggs.

The nutrients from the food we put in our bodies give our cells the ability to perform their necessary functions. Think of it as planting a garden. If you are planting a tomato seed, ideally you use the right soil and the right amount of sun for the best success. However, if you use the cheapest dirt and don’t give it enough sunlight you may still get a tomato, but the tomato may not be the ripest, roundest, reddest, or tastiest tomato.
