A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I attended the girls’ Sports Day in school last Saturday. It was a very hot and humid day. When we left the school at about 2pm, the temperature in the car showed 40 degrees Celsius, holy cow! After being in the sun for over 7 hours, my head was throbbing – from the school, all…
Goooood morning world! If you’re tucking into some not so healthy breakfast right now, like a couple of greasy sausages, spam meat, ham or bacon (I know how good they taste), go easy on processed meat and artery-clogging food.

If you ask me which department I really need to start buckling down with immediate effect, it would be my ‘sleep department’. I am chronically sleep deprived ever since my live-in helper went back to her country for good 3 years ago. Even when our live-in helper was around, I was already not getting sufficient…
There are some tests that need to be completed as soon as possible so that you know the results in order to begin dealing with the health issue at hand. ELISA kits are associated with a test that examines the immuno assay. In short, it is used to detect antibodies that might be present in…
My 3 kids love kimchi, I kid you not! Do your kids like the tanginess of the kimchi? I have not seen many kids who can stomach this spicy and sour pickled veggies but my kids ace through it, though they would be gulping down cups after cups of water afterwards (drinking lots of…
