National Nutrition Month
MAS Service Corp Advisory
Mother always told us to eat our veggies, drink our milk,
don’t snack between meals, and don’t eat too many fats and
sweets. In this day of fast food, instant gratification and
microwave meals, good eating habits seem to have fallen along
the wayside. During March, however, we should all try to get
back to basic nutrition through National Nutrition Month.
National Nutrition Week became a month-long observance in 1980
in response to growing public interest in nutrition.
Put Down that French Frie!
Good nutrition is not difficult:
• Eat regular meals and snacks
• Include at least five servings of fruit or vegetables each
day
• Drink two servings of low-fat milk a day
• Eat high fiber foods
• Limit your intake of fats and sweets.
Just follow these key principles and you will find that eating
good is akin to eating well. Try it for just one month, and
see if you don’t feel better, enjoy food more, and maybe even
lose a little weight!

From Pork to Islam
By Hamed Al-Moatasem
It was around 10:00 a.m. Beijing time, nearly three hours till
the Friday prayer, when the young man approached to the
mosque.
Jang stood for sometime outside at the mosque's doorstep
hesitant to step in, especially with a "Muslims Only" sign in
Chinese, English and Arabic attached to the gate .
He finally defeated a whiff of indecision and walked into the
Muslim place of worship.
"Can we help you?" asked the mosque's leading imam.
"I want to become a Muslim," answered Jang.
The smiling imam welcomed him and accompanied him to the
Islamic Society office, attached to the mosque.
They offered Jang three booklets on Islam to know more about
the faith he wants to embrace.
To their surprise, the young man said he not only read the
booklets but also many other books on the Muslim faith.
Jang engaged the imams in a discussion that proved to them he
knew what he was about to do.
One imam walked him into Islam with the pronouncement of the
Shahadah; testifying that there is no god but Allah and that
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His Messenger.more...
