Ăn Ngon Nhưng VẫN Giữ Eo

Rating: 3.9

Bây giờ ăn chẳng cần no
Ăn vừa hết đói là tôi ngừng liền.
Tuổi thì cũng đã cao niên
Nhưng mà may qúa, có 'tiên' ở gần.
Chúng tôi thì muốn sống lâu
Thành ra nên phải uống ăn đúng đường.
Ăn ngoài, một món chia đôi
Uống thì nước lã thay vì soda.
Món gì nếu thích thì ăn
Nhưng mà hạn chế đủ vừa phần ăn.
Khi tôm, khi cá, thịt gà
Lobster thì cũng bốn mùa thỏa ăn.
Thịt heo giảm bớt gần đây
Bớt đi beafstake, xào lăn thịt bò.
Nửa năm, rau cải tôi trồng
Mồng tơi, xà lách, muống hồ cá Koi.
Tía tô, rấp cá, rau om
Rau răm, húng quế, cải non bánh xèo.
Mỗi năm, bầu bí tôi trồng
Khi thì xào nấu, khi nhồi thịt xay.
Rhubarb nấu cá canh chua
Món này thay lá bạc hà cũng ngon.
Đầu xuân, canh lá hẹ non
Suốt hè, vẫn lá hẹ non thay hành.
Tháng mười, bí đỏ sẵn sàng
Trái tròn, trái thẳng, trái nằm cong queo.
Cà chua, chín đỏ mùa hè
Trái nhiều, ăn sống, bún riêu bốn mùa.
Trái cây, mua chợ khi cần
Nhưng mùa lê táo, trái cây sẵn nhà.
Thôi thì, bớt thịt nhiều rau
Ăn ngày ba bữa, nhưng mà giữ eo.

Below is English translation of above poem of NHIE NGUYEN MD:

EATING DELICIOUS FOOD BUT KEEPING GOOD WAIST LINE

Nowadays, I don't eat to feel full
I eat enough to stop my hunger.
I have been up in age
But fortunately, I have my 'fairy' with me.
We want to live longer in our golden years
So we decided to eat healthier foods.
When we eat out, we share the dish.
We drink water instead of sweet drinks.
We eat almost everything
But we pay close attention to our calorie intake.
We eat fish, chickens, and shrimps.
We enjoy lobster, according to our appropriate desires.
Our consumption of pork declines
Stir fried beef and beef-steaks appear less often on our plates.
For one half of the year, we grow herbs and vegetables:
Indian spinach, lettuce, Vietnamese water green in our Koi ponds
Purple, cinnamon, water lemon mints, lemon grass and Vietnamese cilantro, add better tastes.
Baby mustard green goes along with sizzling rice cakes.
Every year, we grow squash, pumpkins
Which we use for stir-fries or stuff them with ground meat.
We prepare sour fish soup with rhubarb
This dish is as tasty as sour fish soup with taro stems.
Early Spring, we make soups with young garlic chives
Throughout Summer, we use garlic chives in place of green onions.
By October, our pumpkins are ready for harvest.
They are oval, round or curving like long neck.
Sun ripe red tomatoes are available through Summer
We eat them fresh or save them for delicious noodle crab soups.
We buy fruits when we need them
But we have our home grown apples and Asian pears.
In brief, we eat less meat and more vegetables
We eat three meals a day but able to keep our good waist lines.
