Aaliyyah Posted May 29, 2010 Mashallah amazing thread. It is weird how we down play the importance of eating balanced diet. Especially making sure you eat good amount of fruits daily. Usuaully if I eat the normal meals I just eat snacks...I am not good with fruits. But, inshallah I gotta change that habit.. Thanks walaal Bob for the reminder. Jazakalaah. salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted May 29, 2010 Great thread, Xaaji BOB, but aint this the last thing Somalis should worry about? Majority of Somalis are healthy by nature ehehe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khayr Posted May 29, 2010 Rice: Protects your heart Battles diabetes Conquers kidney stones Combats cancer Helps stops strokes These are excellent qualities for bariis. I always knew that bariis had health benefits but it was never confirmed until now. Next time I order chinese, I will say "Pleaze give me mo rice".
