Soup Anyone?

As you enter a restaurant, you have a sit and you order your food.

"Our soup of the day is Ginseng chicken soup with red dates and lotus root......."

Normally, typical chinese custom is that we tend to automatically order at least a soup among our dishes of fish, veges, meat, etc.

There is nothing wrong with such a diet. In fact, it gives balanced nutrition for us. That, we cannot deny, NUTRIRIONALLY!

However, think of it this way....

When you eat, your stomach juices production and secretion is stimulated and they are meant to digest the SOLID food particle under the appropriate pH condition. What happens when you down a bowl of soup while eating, or perhaps a drink, a cup, just right after swallowing your last mouthful? It would dilute the acid juices inside, making protein and lipid digestion "harder" for trypsin and pepsin works their best at pH 2-3. Now, this would only logically increases gastric juices production and secretion to raise back to the optimum pH level for the enzyme to work optimumly.

Yes, that might not be a big problem for those still young but in the long run, it might be a big problem for your digestive system. For those aged ones, their stomach juices secretion might not be that active anymore and thus, might suffer from dyspepsia aka indigestion and bloating.

So when to drink(liquid consumption) and when not to? It is advised that any liquid intake should be consumed at least about an hour before or after your meal. The MAIN point to remember is to better drink when no digestion of "solid food particles" is underway.

EAT IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER KIDS!!!

I have just recently learnt that finishing your meal last among your friends and family are actually healthier!! How can that be possible you might ask?

As asians, our daily meal must include rice, noodle, etc which contains carbohydrate. Where does carbohydrate mainly get digested?

NO! you are wrong! It's inside our mouth, in the presence of amylase in our saliva. So, I can only imagine that eating(meals of carbs in it) in front of the computer, whether you be gaming or working, would actually be healthier for our gut!

As far as starch digestion is concern, eating while "computering" can unknowingly let us chew longer in our mouth while we're at the computer. This spells better breakdown of starch in our mouth to glucose and other simpler saccharides of starch by amylase enzyme. It decreases the chances of indigestion as our stomach juices are meant mainly for protein digestion instead of starch.

All of us heard before that eating whilst watching tv or while playing the computer is bad for digestion. How can that be true scientifically in health wise if what I have reasoned out above is actually of true fact?

.................Correct me if I am wrong..........

The unfortunate

This is heart breakingly saddening...

You think you're unfortunate enough with troubles? You know nothing yet!!

Click this link (congenital malformation by Vivek Ghapure) and see for yourself the unfortunate of unfortunates...( be warned that the site contains graphical images. Descretion is adviced)

After you've seen all these deformities, you'll start to wonder how brave doctors are and how much under-appreciated they always are by us.

You gotta stop to wonder why these things happen.... how much these victims of such unfortunate happenings suffer in their struggle to live just one day more with the hope of having a more normal and comfortable life through the help of modern surgical advancements and improved surgical methods.

Perhaps it is time to start to get aware of non-profit charitable organizations set-up and give the support and encouragement in which ever way that is proper in aiding these poor friends all around the world!

If you've noticed, all the sufferers are 0f the Indian Communities in India where life is hard and where they struggle even to just have a chance to see the sun rise another day... What more so to say of their capabilities to fee those complicated and expensive medical bills for their treatments? Certainly help from the good-will of the more fortunate all around the world are greatly needed!

Green Ribbon Association Kuching is a non-profitable non-government organization which aids the less fortunate in Kuching to have an improved live. They are all-out more than ever-so-willingly to help anyone hiting the financial brick wall in pursuit of medical treatments.

Guys.... reach out... Help them... for starters..... It will not be unseen...

kinda look nice doesn't it?Lolz..

Lost Ethics?

From some "ethical" supermarket in town..
just when u think people around you are getting better by the year..

Yeah... Right!!

Panadol dilemma...??

For years it has been now that if there is any headache or fever or pain, then a self prescribed dose of fair Panadol (Paracetamol) would very much get rid of everything.

But think again! Panadol will reside in our body for AT LEAST 5(five) freaking years!!! This would burden our liver and kidneys extensively with more Panadol consumption, even only if taken for medicinal purposes.
I bet you don't want to go through dialysis at the prime of your life, do you..???

Doctors' know this fact a long time ago and they wouldn't count too much on Panadol in times of need. Rather they seek alternatives, either from Chinese herbs or others that would do them good. So why do they still prescribe such medication to their patients? Perhaps the effects of the amount of Panadol consumption in an average person that is purely for medicational purposes is negligible throughout their life though we cannot deny the probabilities of the so called "Old Man's Sickness" which surfaces slowly as we age, as the amount of Panadol accumulates as we age, has something to do with Panadol itself!

So the doctors explain, "Headaches is caused by the ionic or eletronic imbalance in our brain. To make you feel better, you can try this alternative...




1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink ( eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100plus, one cup water or 2 cups water)."

"Another method is to....
...submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing head."

I've heard of girls with menstrual pain and it seems that pain isn't the only think Panadol is capable of. Some got their flow fluctuating and delayed or altered during menstruating period! Now that's really gonna leave a scar on the precious uterus in the long run.

So please cherish your life! Appreciate it while you have it.


Think twice the next time you decide to pop in a couple of "white candies" into that precious body of yours!!!
