Detox Kit

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

When my friend and I were at the cold storage to buy some stuff, I happened to glance at some boxes sitting on a shelf in a corner. And when I checked, it was a Detox Tea. Now, some of you know that I’m getting truly worried about my weight. So I grabbed one.

Later that night, I searched on the internet of the benefits of detox teas. I found that detox teas are purely for detoxifying the toxins in your body and not for losing weight. But I decided to go on because I am planning on another diet program for next month. So I thought before going on a diet, might as well have my body cleaned from toxins.

Tonight, I saw this link that talks about Detox Kits. And I further discovered that you can actually detoxify before taking some tests. I remember my sister going for a medical test. Good thing that she passed the test straight away. I think, for others to be able to pass some tests, they should at least try to get some detox kits to detoxify themselves from any toxins in their body. Not that I condone taking any toxins. Sometimes, we don’t know what type of food and drink we take in. So it’s better to be cleaned of those harmful chemicals in our body and start living a healthy lifestyle.

Getting Fit…

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

In just 5 days is a challenge. I really want to slim my tummy down a bit. I just wanna get into my two-piece swimsuit again… for our Phuket trip. Can you imagine a woman showing off her bulging belly in a two-piece suit? Anyways, I am doing sorts of exercises and cutting down my food intake. I feel much much better after 3 days of doing exercise. Well, it’s always better to lose weight the healthy way. And it’s always better to ensure we have healthy habits.

I swam (up to 6 laps – 2-3 times per week) until I was 37th month pregnant with my boy. I ate healthy stuff… okay… I over-ate… but can’t blame a pregnant lady… can you. I actually gained more than I supposed to… like 5 kgs overweight. My second one was better. My diet was rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. And I walked a lot. It is important to be healthy when pregnant. I heard that one of the causes of cerebral palsy in babies is the unhealthy habit of a pregnant woman. So I really encourage all pregnant women to make sure their pregnancy is healthy.

Having a Good Sleep

Monday, December 15th, 2008

monkey-sleepingThese days, I’ve been having a really good sleep.  I sleep early at night and take afternoon naps with the kids. Such refreshing for me. Good sleep evokes a lot of health benefits. It keeps our heart healthy. It reduces stress. Good sleep makes us more alert too. And another thing is, it can bolster our memory. Aa process called memory consolidation occurs during sleep. While our body may be resting, our brain is busy processing your day, making connections between events, sensory input, feelings and memories. Our dreams and deep sleep are an important time for your brain to make memories and links. Getting more quality sleep will help you remember and process things better.And of course, getting a good sleep can be one of the best acne treatments there is. I am hoping to get a good sleep again tonight.

essential oils

Friday, September 19th, 2008

i am an avid user of essential oils. it has such great benefits when it comes to well-being. my number one favorite is the lavender essential oil. it helps me relax and sleep well. another thing that is good to consider if you are married is the ylang ylang essential oil. it does enhance or awaken your senses and it does help a lot with your spouse spend your cozy nights together. but of course, when using essential oils, one must be careful, especially when one is pregnant. there are quite a few essential oils that are a no-no to pregnancy. so better do your assignment and find out which ones are for who and for what before using essential oils. i go to body shop to buy my essential oils. this way, i am sure that the product i am using is not a fake or not too diluted.
