Foreword
Being overweight and obese has become a major health problem in California, including our Chinese community. According to the California behavioral Risk Factor Survey1, over forty percent of Asian American males, and thirty percent of females in California are overweight!*. This has led to an increase in such diet-related disorders as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.
Eighty percent of Asian American children and fifty-six percent of Asian American adults are not eating enough fruits and vegetables. Eating at least 2 to 6½ cups of fruits and vegetables (depending on your age, gender and activity level), and getting 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity everyday, may help to lower our risk of becoming overweight and our risk of cancer, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
This is the first booklet available in Chinese to help increase fruit and vegetable consumption and provide helpful tips on staying active. This easy method to improve intake of fruits and vegetables is enhanced by celebrity chef Martin Yan and nutritionist Catherine Wong from Chinatown Public Health Center, who share their secrets for healthy eating and cooking using authentic Chinese recipes.
