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.

High Blood Pressure

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

Mom has been suffering from high blood pressure. No she’s not fat and she doesn’t have high cholesterol. I asked her the cause of her high blood pressure. She told me it’s genetic. My grandfather had a high blood pressure too. He’s gone with the Lord now but no it’s not the cause of His death.

So… my mom has been taking medicine to lower down her blood pressure. It’s been a week since she hasn’t been taking medicine, by the way, because she said she’s been feeling well. But yesterday, she felt kinda dizzy. So she had to take her medicine again.

She has to monitor her BP. In fact, she has a BP kit to check her BP everytime. I am glad though that she doesn’t need any of those Philips AEDs. Glad that she has a medicine to keep her BP normal also.

Actually she brought with her a lot of (and extra) medicine just in case. I’m glad because not sure whether they’d be available in Malaysia too if ever they need extra.

Truly Works

Monday, July 20th, 2009

I know that I am in dire need of diet pill that works. With all the food that I am taking in nowadays, it’s just normal to be concerned with my weight. Yesterday, after the kids’ seminar that I conducted, we went to Kajang, another town in Malaysia, to have satay. I’ve heard that Kajang satay is the best satay in Malaysia. What is satay? It is a Malaysian cuisine consisting of barbecue meat, rice, cucumber and peanut sauce. The meat can be chicken, beef, mutton, etc. So if you happen to be in Kajang area, look for any satay shop and you will truly enjoy this Malaysian cuisine.

For 4 of us adults plus 2 kids, we ordered 10 sticks of barbecue meat each. So you can imagine how much meat we ate yeterday. But of course, we don’t always go to Kajang so migth as well enjoy their satay while we were there. And think about dieting later only. Fair enough!

Mom’s Cooking

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Since my parents came here, my mom has been incharge of cooking. I love mom’s cooking and I am so glad she’s here to cook for us. And so you can tell that I have been eating a lot since they came here, considering that they also brought chorizo, dried salted fish, carrot pickles and smoked milk fish from the Philippines. I have been eating. a LOT! I don’t have one of those ellipticals. I might just take a walk at the park for my dose of exercise. I really need to… otherwise, I would gain more weight again.

Kettlebell

Monday, July 20th, 2009

I have a friend that got a sample of Kettlebell from Kettle Worx. When she told me that, I staright away thought it’s for cooking stuff. I think because of the word kettle. I didn’t know that it’s for exercise. My friend has been trying to lose weight and she was excited when she got one. I can’t wait for the result though. I wanna see how she progresses.

A lot of exercise stuffs are now being introduced and one can get easily confused which one offers the most effective results.
