A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Many women will go all out to achieve fair skin. They would spend large amounts of money on expensive skin lightening products and would avoid the sun. I have even heard of a foreign domestic maid who applied bleach on her face in the hope of getting fair skin. But the result was devastating. While…
My observation in the gym for the past few months is that the majority of early morning gym-goers are fitness junkies in their late fifties, late thirties and even a handful in their 70s. There is a retired man in his late 50s who works out for at least an hour in the gym every…
My friend’s mother recently underwent a hip replacement surgery and thankfully all went well, the surgery was a success. She used to walk with a walking stick and was in pain each time she walked. Now, she no longer suffers from pain and she is really thankful that the hip implant is not defective. Prior…
Today was a pretty fruitful day for me in the gym. I ran more than 5km and saw over 300 calories melt away on the Air Walker. These days, I prefer to work out on the Air Walker than run outside. I find that I can work out longer on the Air Walker than run…

Yesterday evening, hubby announced at the eleventh hour that he wanted to bring us to Mid Valley for shopping as he had to get some stuff for a client’s function. After dinner at a Chinese restaurant near our house, we went to the shopping mall. Traffic was smooth and surprisingly, we got a nice place…
Did you know that in the olden days (and perhaps even now), the American Indians would boil gold nugget in water and give the gold water to patients to drink for a variety of health benefits? But please don’t you dare try this at home yourself! The benefits of consuming gold, in particular colloidal gold…
I felt really disturbed after reading about the case of a 20-month old baby boy who was given double dosage of meds by the pharmacist of a private hospital here in KL in yesterday’s newspapers. The pharmacist not only prescribed double dosage of fever meds to the toddler, but also double dosage of antibiotics and…
