Iron Rich Foods

Ever since I was told by my doctors that I am severely anemic (reading of 6 g/dL), I have been pumping iron rich foods into my body. Every. single. day. I feel like I am on a blood chase marathon where time is limited and I have to stuff myself with iron rich foods to…

Roselle Tea For Good Health

I made a big pot of Roselle tea for the family yesterday.   My late grandma used to boil Roselle tea for us when we were younger. We would call the Roselle tea “Ribena” as it tastes very similar to Ribena and has the bright red color of Ribena as well. Roselle is a species…

Savory Oats

I have never really fancied eating oats, though I eat it pretty often, for health sake.  I have genetic high cholesterol and oats are one of the most readily available and affordable foods that can help to bring down bad cholesterol level.   Thankfully Cass likes eating oats. While her two sisters have toasts for breakfast…

Healthy Tuesday – 2 August 2016

I woke up feeling zombified today. I’ve not had a single day of sleeping in the whole of last week.  Monday through Sunday started at 4:45 am for me, with each day ending around 11-ish pm.  When I don’t get a day or two of catching up on my beauty sleep for that week, the…

Genetic High Cholesterol

Ok, I have genetic high cholesterol 🙁 My doctors told me that it would be really, really difficult to bring down the cholesterol reading however hard I alter my diet and exercise. I could be stick thin and eat nothing but green veggies and exercise 2 hours a day, but my cholesterol reading would still be…

After 2 weeks of sinful binging, I started back on eating raw sprouts for lunch today! 🙂 Here’s my sprouts-of-the-day for today’s lunch… Triple Combi sprouts, consisting of alfalfa, mung beans and snow pea.   Triple Combi sprouts salad with homemade spicy acar (pickled vegetables), hard-boiled free-range egg, meat floss, baked cashew nuts, a drizzle…

Alfalfa Sprouts Salad For Lunch

Twice or thrice a week, I will have raw organic alfalfa sprouts for lunch.  I will pair the alfalfa sprouts / alfalfa + broccoli sprouts / alfalfa + onion sprouts with a variety of ingredients, condiments, fruits, seeds, nuts, egg and veggies. This was my alfalfa sprouts salad for lunch yesterday… Organic alfalfa + broccoli…
