A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
A relative gave us a few huge stalks of aloe vera last week. I know that aloe vera has been known for many years as an amazing plant, with amazing healing properties. Some people whom I know of eat the flesh in its raw form, by scooping out the flesh with a spoon as if…
I was told by Baby C’s surgeon that beet roots are very nourishing and nutrients-packed and he had suggested to me several times feeding baby with beet roots, radishes, peas, spinach and fresh fish. I bought 2 beet roots the other day and grated about 1/4 of it into baby’s porridge. Baby’s colorful and sweet…
Here’s my breakfast today: 2 slices of toasted sprouted-wheat (flour-free) bread. One slice is an open sandwich with tuna fish, a squeeze of Japanese mayo, avocado and some toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Another slice is spread with Steffi’s sugar-free peanut butter and my mum’s homemade pineapple jam. My breakfast must end with a cup of…

But I really like this yoghurt, especially the mango flavored one. This yoghurt is really smooth and has generous amount of…
Whenever I have buffet lunch or dinner, the dish that I will attack first is more often than not fish. I normally attack the salmon, cod fish, unagi (Japanese eel), mackeral and pomfret – the expensive fish and fish that are high in Omega 3 fatty acids. I need plenty of DHA (one of the…
Hubby bought me a cup of premium organic mango yoghurt yesterday. It’s absolutely tasty and the smoothest yoghurt I’ve ever tasted. It’s thick and rich and even half a cup of it was enough to fill my tummy up. See the thick rich mango puree on top of the plain yoghurt? It’s soooo tasty. Even…
My throat still hurts today and I am also coughing with lots of thick yellow phlegm. I don’t have much appetite to eat, so I just drank some soup and ate half a cup of organic yoghurt for lunch. The Chinese say that snow fungus is good for the lungs so I boiled a pot…
For meat floss lovers, here’s something that’s healthier – organic pumpkin floss. It’s made up of pumpkin, seaweed, sesame seeds and soy beans. Tastes great when you sprinkle them onto your porridge, fried rice, steamed tofu or sandwiches.
