by Lynn Grieger
continued from page 3
Option 3
Honey garlic pork chops (see recipe below)
Small portion mashed sweet potatoes
Small portion steamed broccoli tossed with olive oil and garlic
Small portion yoghurt topped with mixed berries
Green tea

Honey garlic pork chops
55ml lemon juice
85g honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp dry sherry
2 garlic clove, finely chopped
4 pork chops

1. Combine all ingredients except pork chops in small bowl.
2. Place pork in shallow baking dish; pour marinade over pork. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
3. Remove pork from marinade.
4. Heat remaining marinade in small saucepan over medium heat to simmer.
5. Grill pork 4 to 6 inches from heat source for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once during cooking and basting frequently with marinade.

Healthy do's and don'ts
Do:

  • Drink at least eight glasses of water every day - add a slice of fresh lemon or lime for extra flavour and zest.
  • Eat seafood at least three times each week for the oils found in fish that help nourish your skin.
  • Eat at least eight servings of fruits and vegetables every day (choose a variety of different colours - red tomatoes, green peppers, carrots - for the greatest amount of healthy antioxidants).
  • Make sure your diet includes 20 to 30 per cent of calories from healthier fats such as avocado, olive oil, canola oil and the oils in wheatgerm and flaxseeds (linseeds) to prevent dry skin.
  • Use sunscreen every day, no matter where you live and what the weather conditions are like.
  • Wear a hat to shade your face when you're outside.

    Don't:

  • Drink alcohol.
  • Eat snack foods that are high in fat such as crisps, fried foods and chocolate. These snacks often replace healthier foods that promote healthy skin, and the additional amount of unhealthy fat provides extra calories.
  • Smoke, and avoid second-hand smoke whenever possible.
