A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My 2 older girls’ latest rage is fruit flavored yoghurt drinks. They have cut down their milk intake from thrice a day to only once a day about a year ago. Except for Sherilyn who will only drink if her milk is chocolate flavored, Alycia now loathes the sight of milk, except for the occasional…
If you are constantly getting the nagging pain on your knee each time you run, walk or sit in certain positions, you may want to try adding these food to your diet: soy products, citrus fruits and fish! In a study of 293 Australian adults, eating plenty of fruit reduced the risk of developing bone…
For over a decade, the hubs has been telling me every now and then how determined he would be to shed some weight. Each time he announces confidently that he will be going on a low-carb diet and tells me that he will hit the gym or swimming pool intensively, I just knew that he…
I have always thought that coffee is bad for your health. I am a coffee lover and though I am still breastfeeding, I still down a cup of thick decaff coffee with milk every morning. Enjoy your morning brew – it may provide a hedge against cancer. A new study of 60,000 women conducted over…
I bought this pack of Dr’s Choice fenugreek chocolate mix drink from Jaya Jusco the other day. It’s sugar-free and quite palatable. The pungent taste of fenugreek is not strong and if I wasn’t informed that there’s fenugreek added, I would never have known. It’s best drank chilled, with ice cubes or hot like a…

Baby C will be 2 years old tomorrow. My tough little cookie survived all the ordeals that happened to her during the past two years of her life. I pray to God that she never has to go through those unpleasant events again, ever. She really deserves a celebration of a brand new life tomorrow….
Today is the first day that Sherilyn and Baby are showing the first signs of a cold. It all started about a week ago when a friend who had her first signs of cold came to our house. She played with the girls and got very near the girls. The 6 days incubation period is…
Our electricity bills for the past 3 months have been soaring high. This is usually the case during the hot season when the air conditioner will be turned on throughout the night in the girls’ room and ours. While hubby isn’t really complaining yet, I find that paying over RM400 a month just on electricity…
I have been feeding psyllium husk to Baby for over 2 weeks to relief her constipation and it’s working. She can now move her bowels almost everyday and her stools are no longer rock hard. I am going to continue feeding her with psyllium husk and only plan to stop feeding her with it when…
