Nowadays, I am hearing that more and more of my colleagues as well friends have been diagnosed as suffering from hypertension and diabetes. This is a worrisome trend which may be due to our eating habits.
One can try eating ulam-ulaman (raw vegetables) to help prevent such diseases. I read that eating ulam can help to reduce the effects of diabetes and hypertension as well.
We do grow a number of herbs which can be eaten as ulam in the school Taman Herba and it would be worthwhile for the teachers to eat more of such food.
In the above picture are a few types of ulam that I plucked from the Herb Garden this morning. They are the leaves of the Assam Gelugor plant, the Mulberry Plant, the Fig Plant and the Bebuas Plant.
By the way, eating ulam is also said to help one to Awet Muda or to look youthful. So why not give it a try?
