What is Balanced Diet

Balanced Diet is a food preparation which provides complete nutrients as well as supplies carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and fiber in their normal proportions. It is the basis for all diet modifications.

Chilled Mango Shake

A very popular, warm weather quencher is, Chilled Mango Shake. Prepared with minimum effort, it serves as a lazy summer meal or brunch and sure rejuvenates on a hot day.

How to Prepare Arroz Caldo

Arroz Caldo literally translates to "hot rice" and this was one of my favorite dishes growing up in the Philippines. Ginger and a touch of safflower make this ultra-comforting porridge richly fragrant. It's the perfect dish for chilly nights.

Basic Six in Making Menus

The taste and the appearance of the food are factors to consider in menu making. Also, one of the most important things to consider in meal planning is economy. You as a housewife or cook should take care that the sanitary quality of the food is preserved.

Preparing My Favorite Chocolate Chips

I’ve always had a sweet tooth, and my favorite cookie is the chocolate chip – the more chips the better! By using different types of chocolate or by adding other ingredients like nuts, raisins, and oatmeal, you can make dozens of variations of this cookie.

What is Clear Liquid Diet

7:50 PM figtarist
clear liquid diet
What it is
The clear liquid diet allows foods that have no/low residue and fat. This is nutritionally inadequate and should not be given for more than 2 days unless ordered by the doctor. This diet is usually prescribed together with nutrient supplements.

The diet aims to prevent dehydration or, for some reasons, to clear the gastrointestinal tract.

Some Tips

  • Give clear liquids as often as possible to prevent dehydration and to help increase calorie intake. Allow a feeding interval of 2 to 3 hours.
  • Drink a variety of clear liquids like clear or strained juices, jello and fat-free broth.
  • Add salt and/or sugar to the clear liquids to increase electrolytes and/or calories.
