A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Everyone in the family is down with cough and phelgm. First Sherilyn got it (which was about a month ago and she still has it), then Alycia, next the hubs, then the maid, yesterday I got bitten and Baby is showing signs too. Baby has been throwing up her milk for the past few days…
I have been drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with a tablespoon of psyllium husk every morning for more than a year now. Not everyone can gulp down this awful tasting concoction first thing in the morning. It can be quite nauseating at times. But for the sake of good health, anything is…
SOS, my hair has been shedding so much for the past 2-3 months, I think I am going to go bald soon! People say that a mother’s hair will shed more once baby is around 6 months old. Yup, it did happen to me for a short period of time and then everything was fine,…
I bought a box of iron-enriched Heinz ABCs, 123s Pasta from Babyland @ SS2 PJ for Baby C the other day. Here’s one of the ways I cooked it: Boil the pasta al dente, steam a slice of seabass fish with spinach, red dates and a drizzle of sesame seed oil and served with a…
Sherilyn has been having cough for the past 3 weeks. Her cough during the initial 2 weeks was unproductive. If it’s unproductive cough, it is most likely non-contagious. A week ago, the cough turned into a chesty cough with phlegm. Several days later, Alycia got bitten by the cough virus, then the maid and then…
Weight watchers, you’ll love this tofu dish. No cooking is required. You don’t even need to heat up the tofu, though you can if you want to if you have young kids eating. It can be eaten chilled, direct from the fridge. All you need is a pack of firm tofu (I use Anzen organic…
I saw some pomegranates at the fruit stall the other day and since it’s been aeons (I think more than a decade) I last ate them, I bought one. Pomegranates ain’t cheap, costing over RM4 each. I had almost forgotten how pomegranates tasted like and when I ate it, I didn’t quite like it. The…
These have been Baby’s supplements lately: Nutrifresh from E.Excel (freeze dried blended combo of fruits and vegetables, soy protein and rice powder which supports the immune system), Refresh from E.Excel (enhances and cleanses the kidneys and urinary tract system), Manuka honey, barley water and Waterfall D-Mannose (prevents UTI). I used to feed her with Millenium…
I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Thumb (or Trigger Finger) about a month after I had given birth to my first child, Alycia about 6 years ago. The pain and weakness on my right hand were so bad that I could not even hold a milk bottle or open the door. I really felt…
This is another of Baby’s favorite meal – organic veggie pasta with steamed fish and broccoli in beet root-carrot-sweet corn-pork ribs soup.
