A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
This is one of our easy-way-out lunches, comprising of fried eggs, chicken ham and turkey ham. Deli meat, as with canned meat and fast food are an occasional food for us. We eat them like several times in a year only. As I was blanching the slices of ham, I was wondering if anyone else…
I am now craving for some Salmon and octopus sashimi, along with some raw oysters. After 2 weeks long of drowning myself in fatty CNY cookies and high-calorie CNY dishes, I want to have some low-caloric raw food with lots of salads and fruits in my diet. Sashimis can be excrutiatingly painful on the budget…
For many people, they would try to flee if their mil were to live under the same roof with them. For me, I think it is a blessing for the mil to live with us as there are more pros than cons. Yep it is never easy to live with someone harmoniously but if both…
When I read in the newspapers today that a self-employed man flew to Rome immediately after he heard about Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation, I wondered how his wife would feel about his rash decision.

Since I am at the topic of eggs, I just remembered one particular incident at a mamak restaurant last year which was the turning point that made me make up my mind that I will never again order half boiled eggs from coffee shops and restaurants. If you think about it, do you think that…
For many years, cord blood stem cells have been the preferred therapeutic modality for the treatment of nearly 80 critical diseases and conditions, including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and various forms of anemia. Cord blood stem cells have been a vital component of advanced biomedicine because of their amazing ability to rebuild and replace tissue that…
The other day, hubs bought a box of pasteurized eggs from the supermarket just to find out how they taste like. Pasteurized eggs are kept in a special refrigerator just for the pasteurized eggs. And pasteurized eggs are almost double the cost of regular eggs. The only difference that I notice about pasteurized eggs is…
I love exercising in the morning, especially when the skies are still dark and before the hot morning sun is out. I get such peace of mind when I run on the road in pre dawn darkness. I do not have to worry about being mugged as I run within the compound of our condo…
