A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Cherry tomato is another veggie that Baby loves. There is always a packet of organic cherry tomatoes in our fridge. It’s a very healthy snack and my 3 gals and I love popping them into our mouths whenever we feel hungry in between meals. My gals and I love anything that is cooked with tomatoes….
I’ve been having cracked heels for several years now. I’ve tried almost every cracked heel cream in the market including Vaseline petroleum jelly but none really works. Each time I show the hubs my cracked heel, he would suggest bringing me to see a skin specialist. But being a procrastinator, I have yet to make…
My mil bought some organic baby capsicums last week. It was the first time I’d seen such tiny and cute capsicums and I could not resist biting on one of the baby capsicums… in its raw form. I remembered Chris (one of the commentators of my blogs) telling me that her son would eat raw…
I was attacked by another bout of Mastitis yesterday and am still feeling the pain today. I was really exhausted 2 nights ago, overslept (I normally wake up between 3-5am to change her diaper and feed her) and did not switch sides to let Baby suckle on my right boop. Yesterday morning, my nightie was…
The hubs bought a packet of yellow color fresh dates the other day. They didn’t taste as good as the brownish-greenish fresh dates which are round in shape. The yellow color, oblong shaped fresh dates are sweet but have a slight bitter taste and sappy texture, as if you are eating bananas that are not…
Munching on nuts and seeds is the healthiest snacking ever, for both adults and kids. I was at Village Grocer and bought these: Pine nuts. Cost almost RM20 for a small box. Freaking expensive! Walnuts. This brand of sugar-free roasted walnuts produced by VitaWide Trading is by far the tastiest – the walnuts are really…
That’s how my gals eat pomelos: But my health freak baby didn’t quite like pomelos. After a few bites, she spat them out and played with them instead. I guess she does not like the slight tart taste of the pomelo, which is similar to that of grapefruit. But Alycia could not stop devouring on…
I had asked the hubs to get me a pack of Kraft’s singles cheese the other day but my man who always has doubts about processed cheese (and would always shake his head each time I buy them) got me a pack of Emborg Edam in slices cheese instead (made in Germany). I have no…
I am really convinced that Baby is indeed a health freak. We were at the hotel having buffet style breakfast for 2 days and Baby had not the slightest interest in cakes, buns or other tasty junkie but when I gave her a slice of RAW red capsicum from the salad section of the buffet…
About 2 months ago, I stumbled by chance on a nutritional food supplement that many people swear by its effectiveness in preventing and treating UTI. This nutritional food supplement called D-Mannose is a simple sugar structurally related to glucose, that is found in many fruits, including peaches, apples, oranges, cranberries, and blueberries. It is also…
