A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I was wondering why the roads are so quiet and the usually packed road-side food stalls so devoid of people this morning. When I jogged back to my condo, the corridor at our condo was eerily quiet too. Just a moment ago, I called the national courier company but no one picked up my phone….
My 2 older girls have reduced their milk intake from 3 glasses a day to only 1 glass a day about a year ago. Worried that they would not be getting enough of calcium, I got them these calcium milk chew from Abbott. It tastes very much like chocolate and my 3 girls are crazy…
Rascal #2 came home from pre-school with a birthday party pack from one of her classmates the other day. Most of the items were junkies, which included chocolates wrapped in wrappers that resemble gold coins and silver coins. I remember during my childhood days, these gold coin and gold bullion look-alike chocolates and candies were…
Lately my appetite has been really good. But I have been craving for all the wrong food. I have been craving for all the sinful carbs. Each time I am under stress, I will have this crave to eat carbs – sweet carbs! Thankfully I have been so busy that I don’t have the time…
My hubs brought home some homemade chocolate cake on Saturday. Gosh, the chocolate cake was so moist, so rich, so delish and so fattening! Lately, I tend to go weak and will fall for chocolate cakes. I have been gorging on a slice or two for 3 days and I now feel fat!! I stepped…

Remember I posted earlier that Baby’s other eye was swollen and the ophthalmologist said that one of the oil glands is blocked? He prescribed her with some eye drops but after more than 2 weeks, it still looks a tad swollen. I am worried that the eye drops alone will not bring the swelling down….
Our bathroom and kitchen floor mats are washed everyday while our rugs are washed once every 2-3 days. Some of my friends commented that I wash them too frequently and I should only wash them once in a week. I think a week would be too long and the mats and rugs would be heavily…
I woke up this morning with a crick on my neck. This time, it’s caused by Baby. This fella is the worst sleeper ever. She moves round the bed like the clock’s hands and she kicks the hubs and I the whole night. I have now barricaded our bed with lots of pillows so that…
I drink the fresh juice of lemon or lime after my meals everyday to help me neutralize the acid in my body. The sour juice also helps to aid in digestion and weight loss. Recently I found out that there is another fruit that can help in weight loss. The seeds of irvingia gabonensis (wild…
