The Everyday Aches & Pains

Daily as we grow with added years, young and the elderly usually do have some degree of aches & pains associated onto the various body areas - even more for the Obesities, caused by the extra weight pounds that the body has to be burdened upon.

Therefore a correct sitting posture always, and a good proper footwear are a must for accurate circulation for the Spinal Health is of great importance. And of course to minimise obesity too.

Not long back - bought a pair of massage sockies- maybe from Target or Kmart Store - Not knowing that such sockies should be correctly worned - for eg. the left one is for the left foot, and the right one for the right foot.  But then, for a couple of days, was a little careless, and had worned them incorrectly - Thus for quite a number of days experiencing strange nerve pain sensations all over the entire body, and was just wondering why such strange encounters of aches and pains all over - Luckily a discovery was found quite soon, and quickly I made sure that I wore those sockies onto the correct footings and those nasty sensations just disappeared in no time.

Similarly,  a suitable pair of comfortable Sports Shoes or any other comfy Footwears to pamper one's feet is a vast treasure to our Spinal Body Structure - certainly shall sooth away those unnecessary Aches that usually are caused by those tough wrongly designed Footy Wears!!!

The Bad FAT & The Less Harmful FAT

Not all fat are created equal. Some types are more harmful than others.

Therefore it will be wiser to learn how to replace the bad fat with the less harmful ones.

Reducing the total fat, especially Saturated and Trans Fat, from one's diet.

This means cooking healthier methods using little or no oil, such as roasting, baking, steaming and stir-frying. Also lessen the intake of excess calories from foods with low nutritional values, such as sweetened drinks, snacks and Junkies.

Also best, to trim off the skin & excessive fats on meat before cooking, and chicken wings, processed food such as sausages, pre-packed meat patties or frozen ready-to-fry meat - these foodstuffs are best possible to stay away from them.

Bad Fat are The Saturated & Trans Fat
Harmful to the risk of Heart Disease and Stroke, and also increases Bad Cholesterol to one's body.
Lard in animal fat, Chicken Skin, Full Fat Dairy Creams, Palm-Based Veg. Oils, & Coconut Milk, and also the Deep Fried Foodies ( These are of the Saturated Fats - The Bad Fat)
Mainly found in the Processed Foodie - e.g.Cookies, Pastries, Hydrogenated Oils, and the Veg. Shortening - these contain The Trans Fat - also known as The Bad Fat.

The Monounsaturated Fat & The Polyunsaturated Fat are the Good Fats - They assist to help lower total cholesterol and bad cholesterol. We can find them in most Veg. Oils - in Olive & Peanut Oil, Corn, Sunflower, and also The Soyabean too.

The Good Source of Omega-3 fatty acids in Fish : Salmon, Spanish Mackerel, & Sardines - also Walnuts, Soyabean Oils are of The Polyunsaturated Fat.

Usuallly The Many Nuts contain and have The Monounsaturated Fat.

Let's never be too late to beware of them (The Bad Fats) and enjoy only The Good Fats!!!

Bad Unhealthy Food Hard To Resist

It is true that bad unhealthy food usually tastes good. It is salty, sweet, oily etc and gives us a sensational feeling when we consume these foodie.

However, bear in mind, that once the food enters our bodies and gets digested, the bad stuff will pollute our blood streams and eventually make people sick!

So the next time you want to indulge in that plate of fried noodles or eat and drink up the laksa soup or sink your teeth into that fried chicken, think again. Of course, enjoy your favourite dish, even it is unhealthy, once in awhile, that's ok, but once you do it often, the bad effects will take its toll.

''You Tiao''

''You Tiao'' is a Singaporean snack delight that was very popular since many years back.

These snacks, which are long ''tube'' like in shape, brownish coloured, fried flour soft sticks, were usually sold at coffeshops in the 60s, 70s and 80s and was a popular snack to go along with one's coffee or porridge.

Nowadays, it is making a ''comeback'' at air-con shopping malls where small shops, acting like coffeeshops of the past, sell them alongside other local food delights like Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Dry Mee etc.

''You Tiao'' is a tasty and delicious snack that is often enjoyed by the older generation, the baby-boomers. However, young people are also getting ''addicted'' to it as it is very relaxing to chew onto a hot, crispy ''you tiao'' and snack away with a cup of coffee.

Be careful though, this snack can be very bad for the body's system. It is made of oil (mainly) and too much of it will cause the arteries of the body to get clogged!

Bad Diet - High Medical Bills

Yes consuming excessive high content fats, salty, sugary fried food everyday, not only makes appearance uninviting in looks, but also more often invites more medical bills - thus added money to be spent on medicine and consultation bills, and such can be rather costly on our pockets.

Therefore it can be wise to save these high bills by eating a little right for our daily intake of proper and correct good meals.

Meals if possible should be served plain and simple with a small cooked fish/lean meat/tofu or beans with a cup of assorted vegetable and accompanied with a small portion of freshly cut fruits will do just fine, needful to freshen up our tired body, and with enough pure water and with added fresh lime or lemon juice to the cupful (if possible no added sugar, or maybe with some honey if you like)- will indeed brighten and strengthen an individual's life for sure.

Little or no usage of limbs

These days, most people either work by sitting infront of the PC using their brains and stressing themselves out with anxiety and tension etc. Very few are out there in the outdoors walking about and running about.

Lack of physical activity has been known to cause all sorts of ailments including heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes etc.

Young people like teens and youths are starting out very young, they have been using too little of their limbs for any activity at all. This is a bad signal as they grow older.

Eating out, Overall Obesity

Though eating out often is a lot easier for every household, but also much easier to consume more oily fats, salt and sugar, and with the added Aji no Moto into those food, contributes more disastrously to the body system.

And also the lack of activeness daily, and having little or no time for physical exercises worsen the body frame.

Therefore putting heaps of these materials into the body, not only creates Obesity, but also invites many other forms of health problems.

So it is certainly better to try having more home-cooked simple meals, like just eating boiled, or steamed, like those good old days, where Obesity is hardly visible.

Lazy Youths

Youths these days tend to stay home and watch TV, Movies Online, DVDs, play PC games, X-Box etc.

They do not go out to play and socialise like back in the good old days (play marbles and catching etc).
