A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Baby has another eye chalazion after an eye chalazion surgery about 2 months ago. Lightning does strike on the same place twice!! This time it’s on her left upper eyelid. 2 months ago, she had it on her right lower eyelid. A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland….
I don’t look forward to the weekends. On weekends when my 3 kids are at home, I barely have a breather. I don’t even have the luxury to sit down to have my breakfast or to read the newspapers. Ever since I started running an online store, I have lost some weight. Let me tell…
My throat ain’t feeling too good early this week. It was really sore and itchy and I had no appetite to eat anything that’s hard, fried or spicy. So here’s what I ate for breakfast: Chilled red bean-mung bean-snow fungus tong sui, a cup of strawberry Anlene high calcium yoghurt.. and chilled beancurd (tau foo…
I have a friend who used to suffer from acne ever since she was a teenager right through her twenties. It was so bad that she was prescribed with oral antibiotics and Vitamin E, which she had to eat for many months. The results were good and the acne stopped appearing. But the acne scars…
I don’t know if anyone would eat such healthy stuff for breakfast: A slice of homemade multi-grain bread, spread with homemade pesto sauce on half the slice and fat-reduced cream cheese + homemade sugar-reduced kaya on the other slice.

Many of us have body odor to a certain extent. Some people have really terrible body odor while others have mild / tolerable BO. I have it too I must admit and this always happens after my work-out sessions. When sweat comes in contact with bacteria it gives out a disgusting smell. I remember I…
My mil bought a very huge sour sop from Ipoh the other day. I can’t remember if I had ever tasted soup sop before in my life. Well, it tasted very much like apple custard but the flesh has a tinge of sourish taste and the sour sop that she bought had very few…
Lately I have been getting only 4-5 hours of sleep every night. I know this is REALLY devastating for my health. I can see you shaking your head at me now :S But there’s just too MUCH to do and I can NEVER complete my work. I know you will tell me to wait until…
I had wanted to blog about this for a very long time. What prompted me to write this today is when I saw this lady (probably her age is mine, about mid 30s) who is heavily pregnant working out in the gym this morning. This is her 3rd pregnancy. I have always seen her working…
