What is Swine Influenza and Why We Should Beware of It?

April 28th 2009 16:28
Honestly, I was a little bit confused when I heard about these words, “Swine Influenza”. In the very beginning, I thought it’s only one of the common influenza viruses and have no harm at all to the human beings. However, it seems that my guessing was a big mistake, when I discovered it starting to violent all over the globe…

For those who didn’t know what this “Swine influenza” is, it actually a type of influenza and it caused by the “Orthomyxoviridae family”, where is endemic to pigs. It has three different classes, which as:

1. The influenzavirus A, which is the most common;

2. The influenzavirus B (It hasn’t been found in pigs yet);
3. The infleunzavirus C (It’s the rarest type).

The above three influenza viruses share the same characteristic, which are endemic to human beings!



The H1N1 influenza virus is currently raging in the Mexico, has been reported causing 149 of death until today. The even worse thing is it to be said has been outspread to its neighboring countries, such as The United States of America, Canada, Columbia or even across the Atlantis Ocean and flight straight to the Europe!

Due to its fast outbreaks situation, the WHO director-general has been decided to raise the level of influenza pandemic alert, from the previous phase three to phase four!

Lastly, let’s pray together and hope there will be no more casualty in this horrible swine influenza…

Get Lost From My Friend's House, Your Nasty Allergy!

April 23rd 2009 06:59
There are over millions of different types of living creatures on this Mother Earth planet, of course include the most intelligent human being or “homo sapiens” in scientific name! Human being is one of the most special species, where we’ve been rewarded with a powerful brain, those incredible six senses and the freedom to do whatever we love in our daily life!

However, living in this 21st century, which the foods and environment have been highly polluted, it’s a very hard task to survive. Here, I would like to remind you that it’s better to move away as soon as possible, especially if you’re currently living at the factory or mine area!

I bet you must be wondered right now, “Why I should move away, as I’m now satisfy with my living place”? Well, if you insist to your point of view, then you should spend a few minutes and read on this true story…

Angie, my former job colleague who just had a newborn cute little baby boy, Marvin, have been calling me to drop her visit a month ago. Honestly, when I saw Angie’s baby, I was a little bit overwhelming with it, as the baby Marvin is so cute and adorable. I nearly want to pinch him on his face (Ah, ah, ah, don’t even think about it, as it’s not good for newborn baby, because your hand is covering with numerous bacteria and is harmful for the baby!).

While I’m playing with little Marvin, Angie was busy cleaning up the entire house. I was a little bit curious about Angie’s behavior, and I almost misinterpret that she has “Postpartum depression” (Sorry, Angie. I know I was a little bit overreacting here, but I'm only concerned about your health!)

I walked toward to Angie and asked her to sit down, so that we can have a nice chat. Surprisingly, Angie was crying like baby, after she’d sat on the sofa. In the beginning, I was flabbergasted for seconds, and I asked her why she’s crying. I persuaded her to tell me the truth.

Angie starting to wipe all the tears away and answering my question, “Well, it’s all my fault!”
“Angie, I didn’t get it, what do you mean, “It’s all your fault” here?” I asked her patiently.

“We (It refer to Angie and her husband, Mark) supposed to move away from this seriously polluted housing area few years ago, but we didn’t do it! The living cost in this area is a far much cheaper than the other places did! Hence, we decided to set up our new life here.” Angie said it emotionally.

“Ok, but I still didn’t get it, what’s the relationship between the house and your fault, Angie!” I was confused at this moment…

“Oh, Wilson. You didn’t notice that this place is situated on the Asbestos production factory?” Angie pointed the factory that produce the asbestos products with her finger and is about four blocks away from her living place!

“Oh, now I get it, Angie. Do you mean that your health is seriously affected by the asbestos’ particles?”

“It’s not only our health, but my little Marvin also gets infected with it!” In this moment, I starting to see there’s some tears slipping down from Angie’s eyes again…

“Oh my god, I didn’t even notice that little Marvin was sick, what’s the disease?”

“I don’t know whether it’s a disease, but he seems to be having some kind of allergy, where he always had eyes’ redness and rashes on his skin!”

“Oh my god, Angie. Have you ever brought baby Marvin to the local hospital or clinic?”

“I did, Wilson. The doctors said that Marvin is having allergy, due to the unclean environment that covered with dusts and unknown particles.”

“Have the doctors gave or recommended any allergy medication to your baby?”

“No, Wilson. The doctors said the baby is still too weak to accept any allergy medication, as it main have some side effects!”

“Oh, they have told you right thing, Angie. In this case, you should follow their advice.”
“In order to keep three of us living in the better environment, I have been advised by my friend; Cathleen to clean up the house, especially the carpet, the living room and bathroom frequently will provide allergy relief!” Angie said it with a smile on her face.

“It seems you’ve found your solution here, Angie. However, if I were you, I would probably move to a new living place with better air quality!”

“Thanks for the suggestion, Wilson. For the sake of Marvin, I’m going to discuss this matter with Mark!”

“Great and don’t forget to invite me, once you’ve moving to a new place, Angie.”

“Of course, Wilson.”

In the above case, I discovered that there is nothing important to have a better living place with clean air quality. Money can buy almost anything, but it certainly cannot buy your health!

SoyBeans: The Effective Prevention of Breast Cancer

April 22nd 2009 07:06
According to the latest research in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, it suggests that all women should eating soy during their childhood.

The researchers discovered that diet could be a big influent of breast cancer in women. The studies have shown that women who consumed high amounts of soy during childhood have a greater chance of reducing the happening of breast cancer!



Believe it or not, a woman that started to consume soyduring childhood has only 28 percent of chances of getting breast cancers than those that didn’t consume any soy products.

The reasons why soy have the ability to reduce risk of breast cancer, maybe it’s due to the estrogen-like soy compounds named “isoflavonens”. These remarkable compounds have estrogenic properties that can strengthen the resistance to carcinogens and inhibit the happening of breast cancer.

For all the beloved and wise female readers, it’s still not too late to intake soy related products starting from today!

Red Alert to all Red Meat Eaters!

April 17th 2009 10:34
I read a research from the local website and found out a shocking truth about the red meat. The studies have shown that the great Aussie barbecue (BBQ) could killing you softly with its carcinogens substances!

For those that love barbecuing the red meat, you should better watch out, as it has been identified as the main causes of most cancers! Beside that, the happening rate of heart attacks is higher among the red meat eaters.



The experts advised us to eat white meat (poultry and fish) regularly than red meats, as white meat is a lot healthier and the eaters have less chance of getting cancers.

However, the experts said it’s better to change our diet into the healthier plant-based diet slowly.

Firstly, you can try to suck on some ice cube the day after surgery, but remember not to overdo it!

Secondly, it’s very important that in the first week, you can only eat liquidize foods, such as fruit juice, milk and vegetable soup. Also, be sure that you intake the adequate amount of water to keep your body recover even faster!

Thirdly, after a couple of weeks, you’re now can start to intake those pureed foods. Those pureed foods include mashed potatoes, yogurt or green peas!

Lastly, when you’re six months after the surgery, then you can enjoy the solid foods. However, please be sure that you must take care of the calorie intake and never try to exceed more than 1,200 calorie!

Hopefully, the above methods can be the useful guide for all people that want to have lap band surgery. If you want to find out more about the lap band stuffs, take a few minutes and read out the incredible lap band blog!

Have a Healthy Lifestyle with Canola oil

April 15th 2009 11:11
For those that using the margarine to cook, do you know that it is not the healthy lifestyle? Although margarine is good in taste, but it’s still not an ideal option to use it too frequently in your daily cooking!

In order to overcome the above matter, you can choose to use the Canola oil. For your information, Canola is one of two cultivars of rapeseed, where the seeds are being used to produce edible oil. It has been claimed has lower levels of erucic acid than any other vegetable oils!



Do you know that the name “Canola” was derived from “Canadian oil, low acid” in 1978? After that, it has been widely cultivated and has become a major North America cash crop. According to the statistic, The United States and Canada produce over 7 to 10 million tonnes of canola seed every year.

Some of the benefits of using canola oil are:

1. It has very low level of saturated fat, which is seven percent or below.
2. It has less than two percent of erucic acid.
3. It has less than 30 umoles glucosinolates.

All the three above features show that canola oil is the better option to inhibit the happening of heart related diseases.

1. Do you a smoker?
A. Nope, I hate the taste of cigarettes!
B. Kind of, but I only smoke occasionally…
C. Of course, and I enjoyed smoking very much!

B. Sort of, I only drink when my friends/colleagues force me…
C. Yeah, and it’s time for bottom up!

3. Do you a heavy red meat eater?
A. Excuse me, I’m a vegan!
B. It depends on the time and place…
C. Shut up and give me a quadruple cheeseburger!

4. Do you exercise regularly?
A. Yep, I loved to work out all day long!
B. Well, I will do it, if only I have the mood…
C. Are you kidding? I’d better spend my times watching Television programmes!

Ok, guys. If you answered all ‘A’ for the above questions, then I have to give you a credit here, as you’re totally have the lowest risk to getting the diabetes. For those that answered mostly ‘C’ here, oh my god, I have to cross my fingers here and praying for you a little bit more…

According to the latest survey, most of the diabetics are used to be the:

• Heavy smoker s (Yeah, smoking can really cause diabetes!)
• Heavy alcoholics
• Cannibal red meat eaters (Surveys have shown that red meat are not the good option for diabetics or normal healthy people!)
• Lack with daily routine exercises



As a diabetic for over 5 years, I discovered that it’s very important to have healthy balanced diabetic diets, as if you’re neglecting this step, you might be the one who suffer from the consequences of getting seriously ill here (Believe me, as I used to be a very stubborn person and I learned from the lesson).

In the very beginning, people always told me that I cannot intake too much of foods, including those coarse grains, sugars, unsaturated fats and blah, blah, blah… I did listen to their advice, but I found I started to become weaker and weaker day after day! I noticed that it’s wasn’t a great sign at all, as I might be got myself killed if I continue what’d people told me.

As a result, I searched all over the internet with hope to find something relate with diabetic diets. Thanks to god, I found a very effective daily diet for the diabetics named “1,800 Calorie Diabetic Diet”. The special part about this method is it teaches you the proper ways to intake less than 1800 calorie per day. The 1,800 calorie diabetic diet is the optimal diet to help us control our blood sugar and maintain our health.

By the way, below here is one of my sample of 1,800 calorie menus, you can try it if you want!

a. My breakfast: Two slices of wholemeal breads with low fat margarine or 1 cups of bran cereal.
b. My lunch: One ounce of poultry or fish, two servings of vegetables and one serving of fruit.
c. My tea-time: A few piece of low fat crackers and a glass of green tea!
d. My dinner: One ounces of meat or protein, one cup of brown rice, three servings of vegetables, one serving of fruit.

People always said, “Prevention is better than cure!” Thus, if you don’t want your life being spoiled by diabetes, then you should change your daily unhealthy lifestyle as soon as possible…

Salmonella is Spreading like Wildfire!

April 12th 2009 08:32
Lindsay, a friend of mine, who in love with the tasty and crunchy Pistachio has complaint her frustration to me over the phone last week.

She said that she had enough with all those “Salmon” (Pardon, Lindsay. It supposed to be “Salmonella” not “Salmon”! lol) things. Go figure, from the last six months period, there are three foods have been found have the possibility of contaminated by Salmonella sp., which as:

• Raw tomatoes,
• Peanut butters, and
• Pistachios.



The more coincident thing here is all the above three foods are Lindsay’s most favorite foods! That’s why she nearly gone insane, when she heard about the contaminated Pistachios.
Well, my dear friend, Lindsay. You still have many other choices of foods, instead of the tomatoes, peanut butters and pistachios.

There is one thing we should concern here. Why the Salmonella sp. starting to outbreak like wildfire, even in the most advanced country like The United States of America? In this case, it might be caused by the Salmonella has been evolved into a more powerful species, which it has a higher and better resistance to the heat.

Scientists and bacteriologists might have to work harder to find out the solution to overcome the infection of Salmonella sp. on foods!

The Basic Knowledge of Lasik

April 10th 2009 05:25
Have you ever noticed that the number of people who have eye vision problems have been significantly increased, especially in the past few decades!

According to the surveys, there are more and more people having eye vision matters in this 21st century. Surprisingly, the statistic seems to skyrocketing throughout the time, and there are more youngsters who starting to join the “Specky Parade” day after day.

Although we’re always being advised not to watch the television, computer screen or book in a very close distance, but most of the youngsters in present days didn’t seem to listen or care about it at all! Believe it or not, up to 80 percent of the eye vision problems is causing by the inappropriate daily living habits!

Therefore, it’s very important to take care of your eyes, as it is the window to the soul. The truth is many people are always careless about the eye vision care. Due to the lack of eye care or treatment, our eye vision is starting to fade and decreasing from the normal 20/20 vision to below 10/10 vision or even worse!

When it happens, you’ll begin to regret, as you didn’t take a good care on your eye vision. You might think it’s too late and you cannot get back the 20/20 vision!

Don’t be too upset, as “where there’s a will, there’s a will!” In this case, you might need some help from Lasik. Oh, you’re wondering, “Lasik? I haven’t hear about this word before! What is this all about? ” Well, Lasik is a short acronym for “Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis”, where is a type of refractive laser eye surgery.

The Surviving Style of Salmonella!

April 7th 2009 14:14
We’ve been heard that in the past few months, there are many cases have been reported in America, where tomatoes and peanut butters have been highly infected by Salmonella. Some of you must be wondering, “How can the Salmonella survive in the tomatoes and peanut butters?”

Well, as you did, I’m also very curious about this topic too.

Hence, I’ve tried my best to study and research the living style of Salmonella. After a month of researching and data collecting, I’m now will discuss about the living style of Salmonella…



For your information, Salmonella are one of the microscopic living creatures that love to live on any kind of foods, whether it’s raw or cooked. If someone accidentally ate it, then the person might have diarrhea, abdominal pain or typhoid fever.

In order to avoid from being destroyed by the acidic digestive system and white blood cells, the Salmonella have already adapted into a more powerful form. The Salmonella uses a system known, as SP12 type III, where is acts as a bacterial machine inside organisms and causes disease not only on humans, but also on animals and plants! There’s a syringe-like mechanism in every Salmonella and its main purpose is to inject bacteria into human’s cells. Once its succeeding, the system is going to change the structure of the cell and replicate themselves into the same form with human’s body cells. This to protect the bacteria from being spotted and eliminate by the white blood cells!

To ensure the foods are free from Salmonella, you should cook it with pressure cooker. Also, remember to wash the fruits or vegetables, before you putting it into your mouth.

PS: The SP12 type III has nothing to do with sunblock! Lol

Once its has been recognized as the remedy for bladder cancer, Frankincense oil has been widely used all across the world.

Here are some of the little facts of bladder cancer:

1. If you’re a man, then you’ll have 200% chance of getting bladder cancer than a woman!
2. The bladder cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in United States!
3. It’s the seventh most common cause of death in United Kingdom!



A group of researchers from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and Oklahoma City VA Medical Center has pointed out that the Frankincense oil is effectively killing the bladder cancer cells and inhibits the spreading of the cancerous bladder cells.

The great part about Frankincense oil is it relatively much cheaper than any other therapy for bladder cancer patients. Thus, it can be an alternative therapy for those that cannot afford the expensive medical bills!

It is never too late to Practice Colon Cleansing!

April 1st 2009 18:32
Many people said that our health condition is not as strong as those in the last few decades are. To be honest, I won’t blame you if you have this kind of thought here!

According to the latest reports from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), there are 12 types of fruits and vegetables that being listed as “The Dirty Dozen”, which is mean, it contains many pesticides. Those 12 fruits and vegetables are:

1. Nectarines – 97.3% of Nectarines that being tested positive for pesticides!
2. Peaches – 96.7% of Peaches were positive for pesticides.
3. Apples – 94.1% tested and found positive for pesticides.
4. Celery – 94.1% tested positive.
5. Carrots – 82.3% tested positive for pesticides.
6. Capsicum – 81.5% found positive and 62.2% for multiple pesticides.
7. Kale – 53.1% tested positive for multiple pesticides.
8. Cherries.
9. Lettuce
10. Strawberries
11. Grapes
12. Pears

As you can see on the above list, most of the fruits and vegetables are full with multiple pesticides. It’s better for you to choose the organic foods. In addition, it even stunning if you can grow your very own fruits and vegetables!

However, for those that didn’t have time or space to plant their very own organic plants, you should take care of you eating habits. Keep yourself away from junk foods, as these types of food are nothing but a lot of saturated fats and high cholesterol. Thanks to the junk foods, that is why there are many people that having the obesity problem in present days!

Instead of the healthy eating habits, there is one more thing that you should pay attention here: Your colon’s healthy situation. For your information, the colon is the last portion of the digestive system, where is extracting water and salt from solid wastes and expel the waste out from our body as feces.

The colon can be divided into four different sections, which as:

• The Ascending colon,
• The Transverse colon,
• The Descending colon,
• The Sigmoid colon.

Different colon segment has its own function. The interesting part is all the colon segments have the equal risk of affected with colon cancer.

The coroners discovered through the autopsies those colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material would have the higher risk of getting colon cancer! There are more than 4 million Americans and 120 million people from around the world have the constipation problem.

Caution: You might find the below picture a little bit disgusting. Thus, for those who just having their breakfast, lunch or dinner, I'm not recommend you to look on it. If you still insist to do it, then look at your own risk!



Go figure, our colon system just like the toilet. When the toilet is being stuck, it’s your responsibility to unclog and fix it. If you ignore it and did not fix it as soon as possible, then your house will be fulfilled with unpleasant smells!

Well, it’s quite easy to practice colon cleansing. However, you must ensure that you choose the right colon cleansing supplement, such as Natra Pure. Many people have tried it before and discovered it has no side effects to the body.

By the way, if you’re looking for some free stuff, then this is your lucky day. Bromalite, one of the well known organic colon cleansing supplements, is now giving out some 30 days free offer. Go and grab one for yourself and cleans all the mucus-like plaques of putrefaction out from your colon today!
