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!!!

Obesity Is Rising

Nowadays very often the Young and even the Elderly have meals out frequently.

Days of yesteryears, people and all gathered out to feast on their great meals for occasional celebrations only. During those periods, they also did more walking daily to mind on their everyday tasks often.

Therefore, those past years, people not only eat less, but are also on their limbs with lots of movements always.

But these days are just the opposite - people eat plenty of the Quickies stuff, and frequent fast-food outlets like crazy mad. Thus, inviting Obesities easy and fast and certainly is a great health hazard to many, which pose great dangers, possibly leading to various diseases, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension and all etc....

It's never too late to make a change to consume our food intake wisely before such danger of sicknesses!

Let's all start to live, eat, and move healthily.

Myopia Is Rising

These modern times, young people and all are rarely having outdoor activities.

This modern era, we hardly or have no time at all to go for a stroll in the park; or go outdoors to fly a kite; or to cycle along the city beaches; or play ball games, or just having fun at an open atmosphere to laze and relax those tired and weary precious eyes: which are too often being overstrained by hours of over pressure studies or the stress of work projects.

Besides these: more people often stay indoors even at a young tender age spending long hours at a Tele Screen; or the Hand-Held Games; or Playing Computer with the VCD and XBox games.

Such indoor addictions of the Modern Lives are not doing us any good on the overall - what more to our precious beautiful Eyes!!

Therefore - Its never too late to Fight Myopia! Keep Myopia At Bay, Encourage ourselves too and Take Your Kids Outdoors To Play.

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.

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.

Be Slow On Meat Portions

As you may know Snacking of Titbits, and all the many Fast Food Munchies are high in saturated fats too.

All Meat platters have these fats too. Unlike very young children, who are usually extremely active all day long, then these are probably fine for them to eat alright.

Some report findings that meat increases cancerous cells on each intake, but just wonder how far this is true or not, but more rather of the saturated fats, if consumed too much can be very unhealthy and harmful to us, so will be wiser to go slow on them then.

Anyway, human beings' intestinal built up is a very long structure, and the meat that we eat, often will stay much longer in the body, and so most likely gets rotten often and poison shall be absorbed.  Compared to a carnivorous eater, they are altogether different, cause their intestines are just a short one, and their waste can be out very quickly.

Therefore it is indeed advisable to eat/add more corn, peas, fish, soya products etc...., vegetables and fruits onto our diet more often, cause in this manner, our intestinal systems can also be cleansed more easily, and that's for sure.

Like to share something useful with everybody - that eating lesser meat or minimise the intake of them, and others of the processed foodie cuts (sausages, beacon, dried stuff etc), and all the fast Junkies, and tucked more Fish & Soya intakes, will help everyone (esp women) ease through their menopause well with a gentle breeze, (maybe experience some hot flushes only), and is easy, relax with no fear at the least - It's True!!

Certainly with all the goodness of such diet, surely will be helpful for one and all, thus able to waltz through difficult periods with a breeze - For Men as well?? =)

''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!
