It’s Sunday already?

28 03 2009

I can’t really hear with my left ear. Bothering me as I have some difficulties listening during meetings. Need to see a doc… but kept postponing it.

I have been having nose congestion for a loooong time…Maybe more than a year? Have been breathing through my mouth. This is not bothering me until recently. The air that I breathe in is not filtered! Hmm…maybe this not good for my lungs. Need to google about this and maybe see a doc.





It is Sunday …

17 08 2008

I am consciously trying to be healthy and stay youthful *ahem*. Below are some of the steps taken in order to achieve them.

1. Satin Pillowcase

I recently bought 1000 thread count sateen pillowcases. Realized that I should have bought satin pillowcase. Sateen is made of cotton and satin is made of materials like silk and nylon. This is to prevent sleep winkles. Did you notice that there are lines on the side of your face which you sleep on when you wake up in the morning? This may promote wrinkles. So a satin pillowcase is good as it is smooth and your face will slide instead of being stretched on it. Of course, sleeping on you back is the best to prevent sleep wrinkles. :)

2. Fruits

Self explanatory. I was making smoothie when I broke my blender. Usually brings fruits to work as snack on. :)

3. Dark chocolate

Lowers blood pressure. However, this is tricky for me as I could not control my chocolate consumption. I ate 2 bars of dark chocolate in 3 days!

… and others like eat vitamins, exercise, have enough sleep, drink enough water …etc etc

Contemplating of getting rollerblades. Should I or should I not?





Toothaches albeit frequent visits to the dentist

18 06 2008

I had 3 fillings and 1 crown done this year. I floss and brush my teeth diligently. I brush my tongue too! And the dentist mentioned that I all need is to extract one of my wisdom teeth and I am good to go.

However, I have having toothaches on BOTH sides of my mouth!!! *Puzzled*





Brain Age .. workout for your … brain

24 04 2008

I got ask for a Nintendo DS Lite for my birthday. Yup, my birthday is coming up.. *HINT* Why? Coz I wanted to play Brain Age. Reason for that? Coz I wanted to maintain train my brain so that it is fresh and young. I have been very forgetful … really forgetful … and something must be done to rectify the problem! Thus, me asking for Nintendo DS.

According to the manual, Brain Age is best played in the mornings, when your mind is fresh. I will wake up 20 minutes earlier than normal, so that I can TRAIN my brain…Yup, I am really serious about this.

So which color did I choose? Knowing me, its either red or white. But white get dirty very fast la, so red it is!

Okay, training time!

Note: Actually many other games also stimulate the mind … :) Btw, I am joking about waking up earlier.

Balanced diet

29 01 2008

Talking about desserts, I have to eat some junk food everyday. There is a continuous supply of either brownies, peanuts, pringles, red bean, green bean, ice-cream or jello at home. If I do not eat some junkies for a day, I feel like sth is missing. Have    to     eat    junk   food.

To balance out this bad eating habit, I eat fruits everyday. The most significant change in my diet is that I started eating brown rice! Fills me up real well and healthier too! :)

Want to share with you this recipe blog. Great simple recipes. Just tried cooking the chicken claypot rice today. Delicious and easy!





Longer life

Habits which give you extra 14 years of life

Just four simple habits!

 ”To get an extra 14 years of life, don’t smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in moderation.” [Source]

Time to hit the GYM!

Too much fish is hazardous

According to an article, consuming fish three to four times a week is beneficial, but if more than that, you will be loaded with mercury.  Yikes, my fish consumption is not optimum,  just twice a week. Need to eat more fish!

Best solution? Take supplements.

Quoted from the article,

“If fish can harbor toxins, it seems plausible that the oils extracted from fish to make
supplements might be contaminated, but that’s not the case. “Fish oils are pure,” says Connor.”





Exercise? No Problem

24 10 2007

After going to the health fair , I am extremely concern on how much time I spent exercising. So, starting from today, I’ll climb to my floor using stairs instead of elevator. My cubicle is on the 7th floor. which is good. Not too high that my colleagues think that I have asthma after completing the feat, nor too low that I do not feel that I am exercising. So, including lunch breaks, that’s 14 floors a day! I feel so healthy now :) zetian, I am smart hor? Those who lead a sedentary lifestyle, you guys should try too!





Health and Wellness Fair

18 10 2007

The most interesting event today is health and wellness fair at my workplace!

And I got a lot of goodies! Like a career fair, companies and organizations set up booths and give away goodies. You can also enter raffles and play games to win something. But, the goodies at this health fair are really useful and interesting!

HealthFair

….Goodies…

These are some stuffs which come in handy but are not necessary. (okay, exclude the apple)

My fingers are experiencing some cramps and viola! … I got this squezzy thing to exercise my fingers. Perfect!

I have been contemplating if I should get a tumbler and now I own one.

There is also this hot/cold pack which I won from playing this wheel game.All I have to do is to answer the question given which is “What are the 7 types of food?” , and they even help you if you can’t get the correct answer. How easy is that? The hot/cold pack will surely come in handy.

The is also this glasses repair kit, which consist of a very tiny screwdriver and another gadget which I have no idea what it is, but the screwdriver is useful!

Then, I also got this cool key chain which also has a compass built-in. This is exceptionally handy if you wanna check the feng shui of your room/house .. Haha

On top of that, I had my glucose and cholesterol screening. These are the types of stuff which you know are important to do, but you may procrastinate them because they are inconvenient. For your information, Long Drugs charge a fee of $12 for glucose and $14 for cholesterol screening, and I did it FOC.

The lady at the counter also said I should exercise at half and hour 5 times a week or 1 hour 3 times a week. I usually exercise once a week, so…. does this mean I have to do it for 3 hours?? :o
