My Daily Input - International

– Some people may have problems integrating three large handfuls of vegetables into their daily routine. New habits are also often difficult to establish and even more so to maintain. But maybe there is a tip or two here that you would like to try out: 🥦

🥦 Try drinking a glass of vegetable juice every now and then. However, you should check the list of ingredients to make sure that it is not sweetened with honey or other types of sugar.

🥦 Why should there only be a small starter salad in the restaurant? Even at home, this can perhaps be incorporated before dinner. So the first hunger is already satisfied and also the first vegetable portion already in the stomach.

🥦 If you are too lazy to cut here, you can also use ready-to-eat salads (this means the leafy salads and not the potato or noodle salads and Co.). Spread some vinegar and oil over it and you're good to go.

🥦 Or you manage to take a small vegetable box with you, for example, for the way home, which you can then already snack.

🥦 This can also be snack vegetables from the supermarket, which do not need to be peeled or cut in the morning. This also prevents the huge cravings that often await us after a long day at work and make us reach for unfavorable quick energy sources.

- Do you knwo the Petronas Twin Towers 🏢🏢 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?

𝑨𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕: César Pelli & Associates Architects
𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈: skyscraper
𝑺𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆: Modern architecture
𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒅: 1998 - 2004

𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔: Originally, the towers were to be made of steel. However, since there was not enough steel in Malaysia, components were replaced by reinforced concrete, which in the end made the building twice as heavy as planned. Each tower thus weighs around 300,000 tons.

Between the 41st and 42nd floors, the two towers are connected at a distance of around 172 meters by a bridge (skybridge), which has also been open to visitors since 2000.

The towers house shopping facilities, a natural science museum, an art gallery, restaurants, the Malaysia Philharmonic Hall and offices.

- What are the dos and don'ts in Australia?

🇦🇺 One fifth of Australia's inhabitants are children of immigrants. This makes the country a melting pot of different cultures with many customs and traditions.

🇦🇺 Australians are generally very relaxed. Often only the first names used to address each other.

🇦🇺 You should always follow the traffic rules in Australia. The blood alcohol limit is 0.5. Driving without a seatbelt or exceeding the speed limit will be severely punished. But most important: In Australia there is left-hand traffic!

🇦🇺 It is just as significant to swim at guarded beaches in Australia, only in the marked area. Unexpected currents or even sharks are not uncommon on the coasts.

🇦🇺 Visits should not be made unannounced in Australia. Punctuality is essential. If it says to the barbie (barbecue) for example: "Please bring your own plate", this means that you should bring drinks (BYO) and meat for your own needs. At home, things are quite informal, and it is not uncommon for guests to be asked to serve themselves.

🇦🇺 Tipping is not very common in Australia, and is given at most for outstanding service.

🇦🇺 More don'ts: cycling without a helmet, not taking road signs seriously (can cost your life in the outback), stroking koalas or taking them in your arms

- Why is the banana 🍌 curved?

🍌 Bananas are known to be bent. This has to do with the sunlight. Initially, the buds of the banana tree grow towards the light.

🍌 Then, when they get too heavy, they droop downward and the bananas that are forming also grow towards the ground first.

🍌 This is because the large petals initially still shade the fruit, but they die off over time, so that the banana changes its direction of growth during its growth process and now strives towards the light. And so it acquires its characteristic curvature.

🍌 The banana fruit is of course not alone in its pursuit of light. It has this behavior in common with plants in general. You can also check this on your indoor plants at home. These also always grow in the direction from which most of the light comes, and often develop more and larger leaves on the side facing the light.

- Today we have a challenging task for you:

A doorman guards the VIP room of an exclusive club and only lets guests in with the help of a code word. To do this, the doorman always calls a number and if the guests answer with the correct number, he lets them through. You are eager to get in, so you get up close and watch what is happening.

The doorman calls the number 12 to the first guests, they answer with “6” and are allowed in.

He tells the second guests the number 6, they answer with “3” and are allowed in.

Now you think you've heard enough and know the answer. You go over to the doorman, he says 10, you answer confidently with “5”. He gives you a dirty look and kicks you out of the club for trying to sneak into the VIP Area.

What should have been your answer, and why? Write your solution in the comments.

– What's better: Butter or margarine?

🧈 A popular topic in the media: Is butter or margarine healthier? Butter is a natural food that is made from the fat in milk and is therefore an animal product. Margarine, on the other hand, is produced industrially from plant-based foods.

🧈 Both variants have a very similar fat content and so there is not much difference from an energy balance perspective. Butter has a slightly less favorable fatty acid pattern, as it contains more saturated fatty acids. Margarine has more monounsaturated fatty acids and in this respect it has a slight advantage over butter.

🧈 Until a few years ago, the production of margarine resulted in many hydrogenated fats, which have been shown to have a negative effect on our bodies. Today, these fats are no longer found in almost any margarine.

🧈 Generally, you don't eat huge amounts of butter or margarine, so taste should be the main consideration when deciding. For those who cannot decide, some suppliers now offer combinations of butter and margarine in the refrigerated section.
