• 🍠 High Carb, Low Calorie: Mainly from nutrient-rich sweet potatoes.

• 🌱 Antioxidant and Nutrient-Rich: Vegetables like bitter melon, cabbage, and seaweed, to help combat oxidative stress.

• 🐟 Small Amounts of Lean Protein: Small portions of fish, lean pork, and soy products, which can support heart health without high fat.

• 🚫 Minimized Processed Foods: Avoids refined sugars and meats, promoting natural, whole ingredients.

• 🍵 Frequent Jasmine Tea: Loaded with antioxidants for cellular health.

📉 Low in calories, fat, and processed foods
