Consultation
A revised version of the food pyramid has been out for public viewing, as posted on the official Facebook page of Malaysia’s Ministry of Health (MOH) or Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM). This is in tandem with the changing lifestyles of Malaysians, especially as many more increasingly adopt a device-centric approach, particularly with the ongoing situation.
Targeted at those who are between the ages of 18 and 59, the food pyramid serves as a guide for those who are generally healthy. Well, from the graphic posted, now it is clearer that one glass of water equals 250ml. I used to wonder what this “six to eight glasses of water” recommendation meant. Most practitioners I remember speaking to about this in the past would give me the typical “Drink more water”. There was only one who told me that your water intake per day would also depend on how much you sweat and excrete on any given day. Note that the water in this context refers to plain water, and not those sweetened types. I say this because I remember watching an educational television programme some five years ago where while the expert was talking about one’s water intake, there were several photographs and file pictures that had shown many drinking sweetened drinks. Think teh tarik, sirap bandung, and designer coffee.
As I half-expected, a Facebook user said – “Are you sure we’re supposed to take that many fruits?” The prompt response that came from an official working at the Ministry (as per stated on this person’s profile) read – “This is in general, with further suggestions for those who have medical conditions.”
Due to the multicultural composition of Malaysia, there are varieties of food and drink to choose from. This is one of the contributing factors that lead to Malaysians making unhealthy choices, even if done unwittingly. Diseases such as hypertension and diabetes are closely linked to this ASEAN country.
The latest 2020 version of the food pyramid was released somewhere during the Lunar New Year of 2020, as per stated on the official website/page of the Ministry of Health.
