Did you know...?

Yesterday was such a tiring day. i went out with Jing Wen and Jess Lynn then Jonathan in the afternoon. Plus, I'm working for my sister that needs not 12/5 commitment but she can call me in the night to work and can't sleep til 2am the next morning. May be a 12/5 isn't too bad?

Well, I still praise God for His grace and provision.

I'm gonna share a few health bites, things that usually people do not know but now you guys should know! It might not be too relevant to your age now but I pray that it helps you in the future and also benefits those around you, ya? :D

Did you know....


#1 Eating durian, the 'king of fruits' together with alcohol can kill a person. Researchers believe that the lethal side effects may be due to the fruit's high sulfur content which impairs alcohol breakdown.


So in short, do not consume durian and alcohol together! :O















#2 New research suggests routinely wearing a pedometer encourages people to walk about an extre mile each day, ,lose weight and lower their blood pressure. Aim for at least 30 minutes of brisk walking and a total of 10000 steps a day.


So, when you consider taking the elevator or going somewhere by vehicle, do consider walking. Walking rocks!




#3 Excessive cleanliness may be harmful to the immune system. Scientists suspect our hyper-cleanliness could be making it tough for people to develop proper immunity to fight off disease. Exposing very young children to dust,dirt and dander and etc, could help them develop normal immune system that are able to fight off allergies, asthma and other diseases later in life :D


So, it's okie to be a lil' dirty some times xD




#4 Vitamin B is superb to keep your eyes healthy and preserve your vision. Study shows a combination of Vitamin B6 and B12 and folic acid seems to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in women. AMD is a major cause of vision loss in older people. 


So, take Vitamin B if you don't wanna go blind so soon >_<













#5 The microwave oven you use in your kitchen could be harmful if you're pregnant. when the device is very old or wrongly used, it can be dangerous to unborn baby. Recent tests have proved that microwave emits harmful electromagnetic radiation which can be harmful for embryos and could lead to a miscarriage. 


So, pregnant ladies! Stay away from microwaves! xD

Basically that's all for now. I hope it benefits you guys ;D
