It's Good to be Back for Ramadhan/Syawal

It's the last day of Ramadhan and I know everyone is as excited as I am. First job of the day is to fill the rice in the ketupat (it's a triangular casing/packet handmade from coconut leaves). Me and my youngest brother was on the go racing against time to fill up the ketupat and later cook it. "It takes awhile to cook", mama says "So better hurry". Finally after rinsing and drying the rice. A job, well done.

When Not Looking

It has been a while since I've written. Many things has past by and now I have decided to get back on track in Cyberworld. Just updated Twitter, gave it a new look, and also gave this blog a new face. Can't believe there's a lot of features to get in touch with so many things with just a click here and there. I'm glad that I am involved in this evolution of cyber face. Will try to post things again on the blog. Till then..

2nd Day of Fruit Diet

My energy is not as normal because I have been eating fruits all day long. It's similar to fasting well technically it's also called a 3-Day Fruit Fasting Diet. So I feel a bit weak but the results is so far so good. I feel lighter and my face and hair looks fabulous. I can fit into a dress without seeing the extra buldges. Well, I'm not saying it's all gone but I feel satisfied and comfortable. Plus, I've started to do my regular Pilates again which I had abandoned for quite sometime. Do you think diet will just help you get skinny? Well, skinny is not where I'm going but healthy and fit is where I wanna be. So while you go for a healthy diet, go for a good fitness. Other results that I've seen is I've been going to the toilet alot. And this is the result of detoxifying. I shall see how I feel tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last.

3-Day Fruit Diet

Today is my first day of my 3-Day fruit and green tea diet. The reason why I have gone on a all fruit diet is because I have received an e-mail from my dad regarding healthy benefits of fruits and so have decided to try the diet. I bought bananas, apples, two kinds of pears, oranges, and honeydew to get me started.

Below is the e-mail that I have received and I hope it will benefit others and it could save lives!! Read it, try it and you'll definitely benefit from it. What do you have to loose. It's only fruits!!


EATING FRUIT...

It's long but very informative

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.


If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI:
Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY:
Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE :
Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON:
Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA:
Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

Here are my new cuddles that I just adopted. Aren't they adorable?

Yes, there are sooooo cute!!

It has been 5 days that I had them and I love them dearly. They eat Hay and their own special mix. For treats, I give them carrot (which they love so much), rock melon, cucumber and apple. Everyday I look forward coming home to see them, feed them and play with them.
