This week, we put the spotlight on the fuel we feed our bodies. Discover how a clean diet can increase energy and regulate high blood pressure. The earlier we start eating healthily, the sooner our bodies reward us with extraordinary results, so start today!
Step 1: Find your eating style
When you discover how and why you eat it's so much easier to change unhealthy habits. Take our questionnaire and find out if you prefer to eat on the go or prefer the gourmet option.
A,B,C5
Question 1
How do you plan your meals?
A) I make a list of what I’ll need for the week and build in a few extras ‘just in case’.
B) I just grab something quickly when I’m hungry, or eat what’s put in front of me at home.
C) I buy good quality food and have at least one meal out with friends each week.
Pick One
Question 2
What’s your routine when watching TV at home?
A) I like to have a snack prepared for my evening’s entertainment.
B) I might get something from the kitchen in the advertisement breaks.
C) I don’t usually eat when I’m watching TV – I can’t concentrate properly on both the food and the programme.
Pick One
Question 3
What’s your attitude to going out for a meal with friends?
A) I like to know where we’re going and will probably spend time beforehand thinking about what I’m going to eat.
B) I’m happy to go along with other people’s plans.
C) I love trying out the latest eatery - whatever the cuisine.
Pick One
Question 4
How well do you know your local hawker centre?
A) The uncles and aunties at my favourite stalls know exactly how I like my food.
B) Well enough to be able to find a takeaway for lunch when I’m working.

Pick One
Question 5
Are you label-conscious? Do you know about what’s in your food?
A) I try to keep an eye on what I’m eating, but the labels can sometimes be confusing.
B) Life’s too short to read all the small print. Surely manufacturers have to ensure our food is of decent quality, no?
C) I prefer to eat fresh food rather than processed food. As long as my food tastes good I’m probably eating healthy.
Pick One
Question 6
When shopping in the supermarket, what’s your route around the aisles?
A) I know my route round my local supermarket, so my shopping list more or less follows the layout of the store.

Pick One
Question 6
If you could eat some of your meals in the form of a pill, what would be your response?

B) No – never! Good food is one of life’s joys.
Pick One
Question 6
A supermarket salesperson offers you a free sample of food to try. Do you take it?
A) Yes, usually. It might be something I’d like to add to the week’s menus.

You are a GATHERER
You live an organised life and are well-prepared for every eventuality that comes your way (such as buying extra food in case the kids have their friends round). This is great, but you could find that you’re buying too much food – and end up having to eat it to avoid having it go to waste. Try to only buy what you need instead of filling the cupboard with snacks that promote temptation that you and the family don’t need. (Take the quiz again)

You are a MUNCHER
You eat to live rather than live to eat. While you may not be so obsessed or particular about the food you eat, grabbing meals on the go suggests that you’re not monitoring what you’re eating. Part of having a balanced diet for a healthy heart is being mindful and taking extra steps to control food instead of food controlling you. (Take the quiz again)

You are a CONNOISSEUR
You certainly take pleasure in fine food and drink and appreciate top quality. However, dining out regularly could lead to a diet that could be richer than healthier. Take up cooking lessons or learn from friends and family - dining in doesn’t need to be tasteless or any less enjoyable. Having more home cooked food you will do your heart a big favour.
