INSIGHT CRIZ

During my younger days, I used to be a swimmer under the guidance of a national swimming coach. Although I was tanned from head to toes, I was extremely fit with a “V” shape body and all the girls would drool over me. Ever since coming out into the working world, everything changed. No longer had I the time to go for any sort of exercise with the amount of working stacking on my table each day. As a result, I cannot even see my toes now!

From a fit 50kg person, I ended up as a fat 85kg person. I did not even realize that I had bloated up so much until signs of sickness began to show up one after another. My body got weaker and seemed to be attracted to those seasonal viruses within the air. Finally, I did a full blood test and the results were real shocking. I was like a walking time bomb and the percentage of having heart failure was high. I could even become a diabetic as my glucose level was also extremely high.

My doctor put me on a strict diet with a long list of dos and don’t. I was given pills to cut down on my cholesterol level and some natural diet pills to help burn off that excess fat in me. I was skeptical at first as I was a person who lives to eat and not eat to live. I doubted my lack of motivation to finish the diet course. Surprisingly, after weeks of staying at home to cook my own healthy meals instead of going out and get tempted by the amount of nice food, I lost 5kg. Seeing the possibility of reducing my weight within such a short period, I monitored my food intake and lost another few kilograms.

Presently, I am maintaining a 60kg body weight. I got healthier now with less sickness and I feel just great to be able to perform my tasks with better concentration and speed. Losing weight is not so hard after all. All you need is a bit of determination to strive for a healthier lifestyle. If I can do it, why can’t you?

I will spend my time hunting for great food within my small island of Penang during most of my weekends and blog about it to share with my readers. Many people inclusive our local Penangites were not aware that some little corners of the island can have some of the best food and atmosphere around that even a 5-star hotel would not be able to provide. In fact, the pricing for the food could well save most of us quite a bomb.

Having too much food and fun outside from home most of the time can be quite unhealthy for my ever increasing weight. Sometimes, I will just dig into some great recipes and get some healthy food prepared for my family during weekends. Firstly, I can save a lot of time and money in driving out with the price increase in fuel. Secondly, I can gather the whole family and friends under one roof to have a mini weekend gathering.

I sure did have lots of fun time to show my culinary skills. Maybe some of you can also plan some of these wonderful experiences by coming out with great food to impress your friends and family.

Ouch! It is so painful! What have I done to deserve this? I have monitored my diet well by abstaining from fried or oily food but why is there still an acne popping up just right on my cheek. It is so obvious that I would hide my face under a grocery bag. I do not think it has anything to do with my work as I have ample time to complete them. Hmmm… could it be due to the stress I am getting from my ever mischievous kittens?

Although it has not been proven that stress can cause acne but it could be one of the factors in my health dictionary. I have been trying hard to get the kittens to behave well as not to tear my whole house apart and to litter wherever they like but without any success. The monitoring of their whereabouts and cleaning up their messes might have triggered the acne bomb within my body system.

Now what should I do? There are just so many acne products available on the market and it is not easy to choose one that is suitable for my dry skin. I have tried the acne spot treatment gel and exfoliating scrub but somehow these two products did not suit my skin as the acnes got even redder. Maybe I should consider getting some acne creams that are milder to my skin. At least the cream would be great for general usage without spoiling my facial beauty any further. Hmmm… Now I have to decide which brand would be great for my general usage. Is there any acne expert around to recommend me the best cream?

I am sure many people have weight gain problems at any one time in their life. What about getting rid of acnes and wrinkles? I am sure many have these problems as well. Have you heard about the all natural Lipovox pills which have been around for many years? Marketed as a “life pill”, Lipovox is widely used as a general supplement for energy, health and wellness. Not only will the pills focus on your weigh burning process, these pills will also give you much healthier skin complexion.

I have been hunting for diet pills for some time now and found Lipovox to be the ideal superfood for me. The pills which consist of 14 great ingredients such as Acai, Alfalfa, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Barley Juice, Buckwheat, Cayenne, DMAE, Flaxseed, Garlic, Green Tea, Lactobacillus Acidophillus, Salmon, Soy and Wheatgrass really impressed me. All these wonderful ingredients have their own individual ways to make the body healthier.

I have known some who had experienced some amazing results by using Lipovox. Their waistline reduced remarkably and the acne completely disappeared. If this product can help so many, why don’t you try it out yourself? The product is safe as it is not loaded with harmful stimulants.

I could still remember vividly that night when it happened. I was on a bike and had a collision with a dog on the road. The dog appeared be unharmed and ran away but I ended up be flung onto the road with bruises and swell on my right hand and right ankle. There was not much blood as I was wearing a long sleeves jacket and jeans on that night. Luckily I was not speeding and there were no oncoming cars or else I would be in heaven by now.

I was still able to walk although the weight of my big bike was right on top of my right ankle, and visited the nearest clinic. My face was all green from the mild shock I had when the doctor checked on my wounds. Bodily aches and pain crept in not long after that and the doctor prescribed Nurofen 400 to me as well as some Acriflavine to apply on the wound.

Everything was fine until I took the medication provided by the doctor. I thought being a bit drowsy was fine but it got worst. The world was twirling and swirling right in front of my eyes. My eyes became watery and itchy and my face was swollen. I tried to get up many times but was pinned down by the heaviness I felt on the head. It was like a living hell as I had to suffer for a whole day before the side effect went off.

I was again lucky to be alive. I found out through another doctor friend of mine that I had experienced an allergy reaction to NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and the culprit is ibuprofen which was in the Nurofen tablets that I had consumed. Can you imagine the danger of not knowing what was in the medicine when you are staying alone? From then onwards, I studied and worked closely with an allergist on the drugs that I am sensitive to and got the list engraved on a medical bracelet. I might have escaped death this time but I might not be so lucky the next time.

If you have history of severe reactions because of drug allergy or aspirin sensitivity, it is advisable that you wear one of the assortments of medical id bracelets easily available in the market. This is to ensure that in cases of emergencies, the attending personnel will be alerted on the medications that you are allergic to.

As I was mentioning earlier this week, I had my blood test taken today. Even before the results of my total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ration and glucose analysis were to be out later this week, my blood pressure, body fat and body mass index readings were rather scary. Even when the medical assistant was reading the sphygmomanometer, she was practically looking at my whole body with a soft sigh.

Argghh… I hated that look in her eyes! True enough, she gave me a sharp stare and slapped me with the verdict, “You are overweight and your result won’t be great at all. When was the last time you ever go for some exercise or go on strict diet?” What? Exercise? Where do I have the time when I have piles of unfinished work lining on my table every single day? I do not even have time to walk to the pantry to get myself some coffee to freshen up a bit.

I have tried going through many diet exercises throughout my life but ended up heavier than before. Why? It is because I love to eat and food had always ruined my determination to lose some weights. I wanted to try out the many kinds of diet pills in the market but stopped myself from buying without proper dietitian’s advice. I think I better make an appointment with a dietitian soon to find out more on safe diet pills.

In the mean time, I will have to wait for my blood test results to be out at the end of this weekend before I can consult a dietitian. I hope that my sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine, urine FEME and specific gravity results would also be stable.

I am getting panicky to go for my blood test this weekend. After getting the last test result, my results were so poor that I could just collapse anytime with the bad cholesterol overpowering my good cholesterol levels. My body index and weight were blah blah blah. Do I need to say some more? In short, I am getting too fat and not watching over my diet properly.

Through research, a normal person should have a balance diet which consists of about 55% of carbohydrate, 30% of fat and 15% of protein. Anything that exceeded that percentage will eventually make you a walking time bomb. A high consumption of fatty food will cause potential heart disease and cancer. A high protein will cause the body to lose calcium, thus making the bones brittle prone to accidents.

Many people recommended Phentermine without a prescription by a certified dietitian. The problem with this product is that it is too costly during this economy dilemma. On top of that the product is rather hard to get in the market. Maybe I should consider looking into the possibilities of obtaining more reasonable products such as Orovo, Nuphedragen, Noxycut, 7-DFBX, CurvaTrim, HydroxyCut, AmbiSlim PM, TrimSpa X32, 72Hr Slimming Pill or LipoSeduction.

I have not tested out the products myself but I guessed that if those who had tried out the products and got some improvements out of them, should know if those products work well or not.

I felt as if I have been run down by a truck each day I come home from work. Initially, I thought age has crept in slowly and my body could no longer take in the workloads and pressures as it used to be. I tried to exercise but I got even more lethargic than ever and I gave up on that. This made me stressed out and ate even more. Eventually, I gained a few kilograms due to bad stress management. I got sick regularly as my digestive and immune systems got all messed up.

Luckily, a friend of mine who had the same experience recommended me Co-Clean and my life began to show vast improvements. It was the toxin level within me that was the culprit. I never knew that it could have caused me so much of complication in life. Now I jog regularly before going to work and I do not feel the lethargy anymore. My weight went back to normal and my digestive systems improved tremendously.

Thanks to Co-Clean detoxifying colon cleanse processes that made my life better. Not only did it help my body to dispel harmful toxins, it also led me to a healthier lifestyle. Now I feel that I have more energy to complete my tasks, better concentration power, smooth bowel systems, great shape and no more constipation problems. Each tablet contains Apple Cider Vinegar to assist in the elimination of toxins in the body, Grapefruit Concentrate to eliminate bacteria, toxins and parasites in the digestive system, Chitosan to help reduce cholesterol levels and promote weight loss, Cascara Sagrada Bark to treat constipation and bloating, Senna Extract to stop bowel constipation irregularity and Oat Fiber to help maintain normal bowel movements.

I had the most wonderful outing along the beach with a group of close friends recently. We barbequed, we ate, we drank until the wee hours of the morning. Stephanie even came with her special secret recipe – baked cheesy crabs in shell. Marianne contributed some fried nuggets and fries. Johnny bought quite a lot of peanuts and snacks to keep us munching away throughout the night. It was real fun letting the hair down for the weekend without worrying about work pressures.

Unfortunately, I had some complication days after the wild night out. Zits after zits began popping out from my face, neck and even body. I felt so embarrassed even to meet up with my colleagues and clients at work. I tried applying zit creams but the zits got even bigger until my face looked swollen. I was wondering whether it was the food that I had taken during the BBQ outing that caused me to have some food reaction towards my skin.

Could it be the lack of rest or lack of consuming more water during the party? What about the dryness from the breeze of the night or even the consumption of fatty and oily food? Although I had taken a few days of leaves to keep myself from being humiliated further, the zits just won’t go off. In fact it popped up even more until I have to seek acne treatments from the professionals. Do you know what was the analysis given? I had my pores all clogged up with the oil from the BBQ and some bacteria had set in to make it even worst. This is one hard lesson I had learned that my hands have to be clean always whenever I want to touch my face.

It has been said that too much of anything is bad to a person physically and mentally. I would not agree less to that statement. Did you ever realize that whatever we consume or do, will subsequently affect our body and mind, if taken or done excessively?

Take the case of obesity. Munching, chomping, biting into food practically every minute of the day is healthy? If a person knew how to limit his daily food consumption, he would not end up as an obese. Subsequently, there would be lesser obese related illness coming in and ruin his whole health system.

What about the importance of a family? If a person knew how to plan his life without letting his over success stricken thoughts controlling over his mind and body, he would have a happier family without them worrying about ignorance. This has happened to a large number of rich families where the parents totally do not have any time for their children.

What about having some time off for leisure purposes? It is healthy to go for some physically sports but straining the body to go beyond the limit might not be good news to the heart. Some might consider trying out their skills in some cyber games but I have encountered quite a number that are so addicted to playing the games that they would ignore their duties. Do you think that sitting in front of a computer and staring at the screen for a log period of time will be good to the eyes? What more ignoring the stipulated hours to have their main meals.

The worst of the many addictions still fall into the drugs category. It is believe that 5% of the world’s population consumes illicit drugs per year. Drugs are created for therapeutic and medical applications but many have abused them to satisfy their sensual pleasures. It was also known that some clubs in certain countries even legalize its usage, if taken in certain stipulated amount approved by the government. Do you think that a person will behave and abide to the law if drugs are sold so freely? Do you even think setting up a drug treatment center will be enough in treating and reducing the quantity of addicts then? I would say no.

Addiction is a witch to the body, a devil to the mind, a thief to the pocket and a self murderer to a person’s health and happiness. There is nothing great about being addicted to anything except for the physical and moral degradation of a person.
