A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Something is just not right. Despite getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night for the past 3 nights (interrupted sleep though), I still feel lethargic and sleepy all the time. I’m surprised this is happening because I seldom feel this way, though I only get between 5-6 hours of sleep (also interrupted) each night. This…
Today is the fourth day of the Chinese New Year holidays and my 2 older gals are already starting to get bored. Each time they get bored, they will start to bicker and fight with each other like cats and dogs and this will surely drive me bonkers. How I wish we were now on…
When Baby first displayed symptoms of a cold about 5 days ago (with sneezing and watery goo), I decided to feed her with Esberitox. It was the first time I fed Baby with Esberitox as it can only be taken at a minimum age of 2 years old. Baby is now 2 months shy of…
During my 3 pregnancies, I did have that glow on my face like some women would have. Though I was still slim except for the belly, my face had acne outbreak during the first trimester. I dared not apply OTC pimple cream like Oxy 5 on my face and only relied on toothpaste to treat…

From my personal experience, the best ways to keep those zits and acne at bay are to drink lots of plain water (water flushes out toxins from your body), eat lots of fresh fruits that are high in vitamin C, get enough sleep, keep your skin clean, exercise, move your bowels everyday, pop Vitamin E,…
I know of many people who are struggling with the battle of the bulge. They go on a yo-yo diet or a crash diet, take weight loss products including trying discount diet pill, yet they don’t lose much weight. I tell them to exercise but they always tell me they don’t have the time and…
One of the things that I must have every morning apart from my cuppa decaffeinated coffee is my cuppa Japanese green tea. No matter where I am and what I am doing, downing a cuppa green tea a day is a must. Today, I read that green tea extract is one of the powerful thermogenic…
I was reading the Fit4Life section in the Sunday Star newspapers last week when an article really caught my attention. There was an article on poor blood flow / circulation. The symptoms of those suffering from poor blood circulation are: 1. Pale complexion — I am fair and at times pale! 2. Shortness of breath…
