El Nino - Impact on Health

During this time, all of us should take special care of our body and life. This morning, I woke up feeling gloomy and running nose. I started to have cough last Saturday and yesterday running nose. It seems like no matter how much water I drank, it is still not enough. Gosh! El-nino + H1N1 + Haze + no rain ... this is really a 'perfect' combination for diseases around. My office sounds like a 'private clinic' with some of us coughing and not feeling well. I read in newspaper this morning that the Batu Kitang dam is in critical level. Huh! First is the Gerugu Dam in Sarikei. Now, the condition seems to worsen. Hopefully that the Marakot Typhoon really will bring rain soon. My dad started to fill his empty aquarium with waters. He have 2 big, empty aquarium. I think the water in the aquarium would last us for 2-3 days only. Haaaiihzzzz .... Let us all pray for rain....
Influenza A (H1N1) Is on The Rise The figure of people being diagnosed with A(H1N1) is on the rise every day. This is very critical. As everyone is worrying of the second wave for the virus, situation is really not healthy. There are some of us that reluctant to go to hospital even if they discover that they have the symptoms.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS: 1. No Breakfast People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 2. Overeating It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. 3. Smoking It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. 4. High Sugar consumption Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development. 5. Air Pollution The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency. 6. Sleep Deprivation Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells. 7. Head covered while sleeping Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of ox...
Healthy Food vs Unhealthy Food Yesterday, after coming back from shopping, while relaxing, I watched ntv7. Not sure what is the movies about but it talks about healthy lifestyle. As I am very tired, so I just watched it since I'm pretty lazy to change to other channel. It mentions that in 1990's most of the obesity cases in children happens on children age 9 to 15. Most of them gained weight on eating junk food and eventually skipped the necessity of healthy food. In 2000's, the cases of obesity among children increased more than 20% and the age of kids having obesity problem decrease to children age 5 years old.. Wahhh!!! So bad! Although government has banned the selling of junk food in school canteen, however there are a lot of small buyers taking this opportunity to sell food outside the school compound. This really gives a bad impact on kids this days. Junk food that are mostly sold are 20 cents ice cream, drinks, keropok, fried food, and many more. When I watched the ...

Five Worst Cancer Causing Foods There are some foods that people who are at high risk for developing cancer should definitely avoid. Generally, says natural health researcher Mike Adams, they should avoid foods that contain ingredients known to cause cancer, such as refined sugars and grains , hydrogenated oils, and nitrates.
