Going To Get Another Flu And Throat Infection

Posted on March 13, 2009March 13, 2009 by Shireen

My immune system is at an all-time low lately. When anyone in the house falls sick, I’ll be the first to be bitten by the bug. This has never happened to me in the past, not until Baby C was born. All the sleepless nights and worries have taken a toll on my immune system. …

Ask A Gynecologist Online

Posted on May 30, 2008May 30, 2008 by Shireen

Would you agree with me that most females have at least one gynecological problem at least once in their lifetime? I would say almost all my girlfriends have at least a gynecological problem now or in the past. These problems range from infertility to Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), fibroids in the uterus, cysts in…

Alcohol Addiction Destroys Lives

Posted on February 1, 2008April 9, 2008 by Shireen

I think a person who is addicted to alcohol will not take the effort to stay sober and to stay away from alcohol until her addiction has taken a toll on her own health. This is true for a friend of mine. It all began when she had a drink or two of beer with…

Find Out More Before You Pop Your Pills

Posted on December 25, 2007December 25, 2007 by Shireen

Being a health freak, I have a habit of checking almost all the medication prescribed to me and my kids before we pop those drugs. I normally surf the internet to check on the ingredients of the drugs, which company manufactured the drugs and what side effects they will cause. I also have a book…

Check Out This Health Site

Being a heath freak, I just love reading magazines, books and articles that are health related.

The Benefits of Green Tea

Posted on May 4, 2007 by Shireen

What is my favourite beverage? It has got to be green tea. Not a day goes by without me drinking my cuppa decaffeinated coffee in the morning and…. green tea of course, after my lunch. After I weaned Sherilyn off breastfeeding, I drank green tea to shed some pounds. It is known to help in…

Posted on April 25, 2007 by Shireen

During my recent bout of flu and throat infection, infected to me by my 2 little gals and DH, I’ve decided that I will cure myself naturally and vowed not to take antibiotics again, if necessary, coz antibiotics destroy all the bacteria in my body, whether good or bad bacteria and each time I’d taken…

Dress to Heal Anyone?

Posted on April 24, 2007 by Shireen

My 2 gals had always been very healthy and rarely fell sick. Even when everyone else in the house were down with flu, my gals almost never caught the flu bug. However, things took to a turn when Alycia (who turned 3 yo in Dec 06) attended pre-school in January this year. After 1 week…

Health Freak

Posted on April 23, 2007 by Shireen

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a heath nut & cleanliness freak and a hypochondriac. I wasn’t like this when I was younger, not at all. The ‘disease’ slowly built up over the years. I became a health nut when I was working in a bank more than 10 years ago. As it…
