STIR FRY OYSTER MUSHROOMS WITH LONG BEANS

Eat more vege, drink more water, exercise often to stay healthy.  Yes, another point 'do not over stress'.  These are the very common spoken phrases that you often get to hear from friends when one complained about the 3 'highs' - blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol etc.   Some even tell you not to overeat, hehehe!

It is easier said than done. Needs discipline.  

This a simple, tasty vegetarian dish which may help you to eat more vegetables and it's meatless.  Not too bad for a start with this dish.
