Moreover, it must be prepared using Chinese cooking methods with only vegetable oil. Sometimes Carina Lau also enjoys mixing in some salad. (3) Dinner emphasizes balanced pairing Dinner is also relatively simple but in larger portions, still centered around vegetables with the addition of one type of meat. Among meats, white meat like fish or chicken is preferred. Sometimes she eats only vegetables and rice without meat.However, she never consumes all three together—either meat or rice, with vegetables as the main component paired with one. Carina Lau emphasizes eating until only 80% full at each meal as the optimal health practice. Additionally, she avoids eating within four hours of bedtime, as the digestive process requires approximately four hours.
2. Vegetables and Fruits for Beauty
Carina Lau explains: "Vegetables and fruits are incredibly convenient for beauty. All you need is a fruit platter, assorted fruits, a fruit knife, and a blender." Once these natural beauty ingredients are prepared, apply them immediately to the skin. Nutrients in fresh fruits lose their effectiveness quickly when exposed to air.

5. Sweat Through Exercise, Not Makeup Today's girls can't live without makeup, making thorough cleansing—both surface and deep-skin—essential. Also prioritize soaking baths, adequate sleep, and regular exercise. I used to think exercise wasn't for me, but we live in air-conditioned environments that stifle sweating—which is unhealthy.Now I love running in the mountains—it not only builds stamina but lets me experience nature's ever-changing moods each day. Even if work keeps you busy, you can find your own way to sweat at least 2-3 times a week. It's far more cost-effective and effective than skincare products.
6. Embrace Life with Optimism
At 20, women seem fearless—this is the time to try everything.By 30, I felt more intellectually refined, especially loving travel and meeting diverse friends. Now I'm quieter, preferring more time at home reading. Life's path isn't smooth—don't fear obstacles. Even the most beautiful flowers grow in soil that seems less than lovely. Women must temper themselves, learn to accept and confront problems, and ultimately learn to let go.
