Dependency on machinery

OLD DAYS, THE GOLDEN DAYS
My father used to be a black smith when he was young ( at the age of 10). Only at the age of 18, he join civil department ( still doing a lot of manual labour). During that time, it was very rare for people to get any cardiovascular diseases.

You can guest the reason for people during that time living healthy. The have naturally exercise through their daily activities. Virtually, they don't need gym or any other exercises.

TERMINATOR 3- The rise of the machine
Now, our live have made easy because a lot of machinery being introduce in our live causing us to use less of our body strength. So we exercise less. Plus, with the down turn of economy, most of the people has to work more, thus almost no time for exercise.

There is no doubt of exercise and a lot of exercise has been discussed in the net but the main question whether we can do it consistently or not. Because, to get the result that we need, either losing weight or being healthy, be consistent in what we are doing. I've practise the things I know for at least 3 month consistently to get result (manage to lose weight from 72kg to 66kg).

CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY
So, I was thinking one activity that I can be consistent in order to lose weight. So , after I've read few article in the net, I decided that the thing that I can doing almost every day in during office hour is to walk the stairs.

My office at third floor, and most of the time I'll avoid the lift. I'll park my vehicle according to rules even though it is far from my office ( who says following rules does not pay). I'll walk fast. I'll reduce using of vehicle for things which within walking distance if I'm not in hurry. If the things that I need to carry is not heavy, I'll avoid using trolley. If people ask for help to carry heavy stuff , I'll help them. If some lady requested for help, I'll be the first one to volunteer.

These are the thing that I do which I know can do it consistently. So my suggestion is that identify the thing that you can do daily by reducing the dependency on machinery and you will be able to result . GOOD LUCK.

Who is the best doctor?

The answer for the question will exclude God and other super human being like Prophet Jesus Christ ( Peace be upon him).

If the function of a doctor is to identify sickness and heal, who do you think is the best?

If you are looking for name or person or group of people, than your answer is way of.


Well, the best doctor in this world in YOUR OWN BODY!

Yes, it is true.

Your body is design by God with perfection, have all the system to identify sickness as well as healing. Your body has a lot of alert system including pain, cough, sneeze, feel hot, cold, colour changes in the part of the body etc.

That the diagnosis system . How about healing?

You body actually will do most of the work. Don't believe it. OK..

Let look at the example of a simple fever. Why do you get fever? There are a lot of sickness associated with fever but the main reason is that your body is fighting some sort of germ which causes your body temperature to rise. See, your body is the one that do the job. The doctor , who may prescribe aspirin or paracetamol which help to reduce the body temperature, not to fight the germ. Some time , the doctor may prescribe anti - biotic to help the body to fight the germs.

Of course your body can't healing everything by it own but the main function of any medicine should be to help the body to recover it healing function. Once the healing function is restored the rest it not a problem.


That the beauty of traditional medicine ( or alternative medicine.) The traditional medicine will always work to recover the healing function for the body.

For example, if let say a person having kidney problem and currently going through dialysis. In the modern medicine practice point of view , there is nothing much can be done except for kidney transplant. But for a traditionalist, they will look at the imbalance property of body ( may be poor blood circulation , problematic micro circulation... ) and will introduce herbs that will balance the property of the body. By doing this, the healing power of the body is restored and the kidney will be slowly 'repaired' by the body and may reach full recovery based on that person's condition.

So, help your body to help you. Always ask the doctor the reason for giving the medication, ask how is the drug work on your body. Then, get a second opinion from traditional medicine. If your are a Malaysian, please refer to my Free Medical Checkup post to get your second opinion

Reducing weight , know your No. 1 enemy

You may notice on web there are a lot of tips to follow, different diet plan, bla.... bla...

All that are good. But, what is important is that you need to pick few and bring it to practice.


I practice what I mentioned, hence got the results.

You need to identify your No. 1 enemy in reducing weight, that is SUGAR.

yes, sugar ( or white sugar) are one of the most simplest from food. Your body does not requires much energy to digest it ( require less energy mean, hard to loose weight) and it is easily converted to glucose. If your glucose contain in the blood is high, the body will produce insulin and the glucose will be stored as fat.

If you reduce your sugar intact, the rate of glucose entering your body is slower , thus if you uses more energy, other sources of energy ( eg, fat, complex carbs ) will be used.

I've tried this for 3 month and it really works. Try to avoid sweets ( candy, chocolate, soft drink) as much as possible.

I'm having my tea also with less or sometimes no sugar.

Initially, it will be very difficult. You'll notice that, you have problem eating food with less sugar because your tongue are not sensitive. After some time, your taste bud will be come sensitive to sugar and automatically you will avoid many sweet stuff in future.

And there is one bonus ...... you get to taste all the natural sweet better ( fruits, fruit juice, etc.)


In my own experience, let say I wanted to drink coconut water, I've to add sugar to make the taste better. But , after I've got my taste bud sensitive, I really can taste the natural sweetness of the coconut water. It taste 100 better .

So, reduce sugar intake does not not only help t0 reduce your weight but also help to enjoy the nature better........

Again, be consistent. If you start to feel that you are missing your favourite snack, have it one a month ( as your reward for the whole month)
