A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
With the water rationing exercise just kicked off in almost the entire Klang Valley, I am sure water containers and pails filled with water to the brim are everywhere in your bathroom, back yard, porch or even your bedroom if you live in a small size flat. I have 3 huge water containers and 5…
The much scornful haze is back again, no thanks to weeks of drought. It is very dry, hot and humid now. My kids and I are starting to get itchy nose, blocked nose and phlegm easily now, caused by the haze and the extremely hot weather. To add fuel to fire, many parts of our…
A career as a personal trainer is a rewarding and fulfilling one. You get to help people achieve their fitness goals and encourage them to lead a happier and healthier life.

I consider today my ‘lucky’ day. Because I did not think that I would be able to speak to the person whom I wanted to speak with. A good friend of mine has so kindly helped me to obtain a referral letter for Cass to see the top pediatric urologist and pediatric nephrologist at HKL,…

My long-time friend from Ipoh who has connection with top guns in the General Hospital of Kuala Lumpur (GHKL) has so kindly helped me obtain a referral letter for Cass to see the head of Pediatric Urologist and one of the top Pediatric surgeons in GHKL.

Ever since my ‘confinement period’ after the birth of Cass 6 years ago, I have never really stuffed myself with red meat and iron-rich food after my monthly menses. In fact, I have been cutting down on meat lately and have been eating more vegetables and eggs. Lately, my heavy menstrual flow is taking a…
My Aunt Flow is here again for her monthly visits. As much as I resent her as she makes me moody, out-of-sync and lethargic, I know very soon I will miss having her around. Her absence will only mean that I have lost my youth and that it is time for me to embark on…
