Red Wine Is Good For Health

I hear that some red wine every night is good for the health, therefore joining a wine club is great!  you get to check out lots of different kind of wine and you also learn to appreciate what you are drinking. I love red wine that are fruity and not dry in taste but since I won’t want to spend alot just on one bottle.. it was certainly a great thing to be in the club.

Forgetfulness

I’ve noticed i forget alot these days. Even when I’ve just done something.. i would forget if i had done it.. like taking my medication. So i am kinda worried. How much forgetfulness is too much…?? is this a sign of early Alzheimer…??

It is said that occasional memory lapses like forgetting where the car is parked are not signs of early Alzheimer’s, but doctors still aren’t entirely sure how much forgetfulness indicates a greater risk of developing the full-blown disease. The problem isn’t that you can’t remember where you put your keys from time to time, it’s that once you find the keys, you still can’t recall that you put them in that spot. The problem isn’t forgetting a single appointment, but a pattern of blanking on important events or responsibilities.

“Miss an exit on the highway once, that happens. Miss it five times and that’s another story.”

People with mild cognitive impairment may be more forgetful than usual, but can still pay the bills and handle most daily tasks. Signs include losing track of a conversation, difficulty remembering details from a TV show they’ve just watched or consistently forgetting appointments.

Because it can be difficult to recognize the boundaries between typical absentmindedness, mild cognitive impairment and the early stages of Alzheimer’s, i think people who are worried about recurring forgetfulness like I should consult a physician. There are tests to check a person’s mental abilities, and neurologists can determine if something is seriously wrong.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Did you know that Omega 3 fatty acids cannot be synthesized by your body and must be obtained from the foods you eat..??

Eggs have 0 trans fat and are low in saturated fat. If you want to keep your heart healthy, then you have to reduce the amount of saturated and trans fats in your diet. Saturated and trans fats are found in food like pastries, fast food and processed snacks can raise the level of bad LDL cholestrol in your blood and increase your risk of heart disease.

Breast Pain

Sometimes when i get breast pain .. i often wonder if it is the first sign of cancer..?? The pain I get is usually mild .. usually it is for one breast only. But i also notice my pain comes .. just before my menstrual cycle, so I wonder if it is related to the changes in hormone levels. They say that women do usually feel increaed breast pain before their menstrual period and a reduction of pain after. Mine feels lumpy at times, can it be due to fibrocystic..?? Stress also affects the hormone level and this may influence breast pain. Since it comes and goes.. every month.. i wonder if i should see a doctor..?

The Bank Stresses Me

All I wanted was to open a checking account and my passport isn’t enough it seems. So I was turned away.. and told to come back with another ID .. to prove that I am me.  Is this ridiculous or what..?? Yes..! canadian banks for you .. and the government.  I guessed it is to keep track of how much money is coming into your account.. so that they can tax you ..??

Are You Still Avoiding Eggs..?

Many years ago.. we were told that eggs weren’t good for us.. because of the high cholestrol, well you can start enjoying eggs again.. and time to change your thinking. The facts are clear now. Scientific research has shown that eggs are not a concern when it comes to manging cholesterol. So you can start enjoying your eggs again. You can have an egg everyday without increasing your risk of heart disease. Awesome..!!

Lower Your Risk Of Heart Disease

By making very small changes in your life.. you can continue to live a fulfilling and healthy life.

1. Eat smart – Choose nutritious foods and more often.

2. Replace harmful fats (saturated and trans fat) with healthier fats (unsaturated) in your diet.

3. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight (now this is a hard one for me).

4. Aim for a 30 to 60 minutes of daily exercise.

It is not that hard.. when you take baby steps.. just baby steps.

Separation Anxiety

Yes.. come this fall, Missy Moo will be going to school for the first time. Worrying about separation anxiety for her and myself gives me quite a headache thinking about it… because she never wants to go anywheres without us nor would stay somewhere when we are gone, not even at her grandparent’s place. So now you see why we are worried..??

According to psychiatrist, anxiety disorder is common in school aged kids and it is almost always about fear. Kids think that something bad is going to happen while the parents are gone or something bad might happen to mom and dad. Or she isn’t going to see us anymore. It is not abnormal that young kids feel nervous when they are not with a parent and likewise for the parents.. because I am ! Alot of patience, encouragement, support and time to adjust is required, so don’t fret. If you try and remember, we were this way too.. when we were kids.. .and we did survived and came out unscathed, so I’m going to think positive .. and know that Missy Moo will do just fine.

Is Your Breast Toxic..??

Looks like the federal government of Canada wants to look into your breast implants. Did you know that 2 building blocks of silicone found in some implants are deemed toxic..?? Wow..!! scary..! Looks like some synthetic chemicals found in these silicone fluids are 3 of 17 substances that Health Canada recommends be deemed toxic in a draft report published. Based on their effect on the environment and not human health the family of cyclohexasiloxane (what a long name..!) also known as D4, D5 and D6 is considered toxic. Did you checked with your plastic surgeon what he put in your breast..?? if you haven’t .. you better do it soon for you just might blow right up.

I’m A Paranoid Mum

Yes. .I make my kid wash her hands often.. and make sure that everything is wiped down .. when she is done with it.. and also instruct Mr Moo to wash his hands before microwaving her food.  Are you like me..?? and don’t want anymore germs than necessary to get in contact with your child..??  They say that germs are supposed to be good to build up the immune system .. but why make the kid sick when you don’t have to right..??  We don’t use anti-bacterial products for Missy Moo but I try my very best to make sure that my germs to not get passed to her.. if it makes sense to you..?

Staying Warm During Winter

I don’t know about other people but during winter I wished everyone would smarten up especially if you have kids.. and they don’t know any better. When I bring my kid outta the house, you can be sure that she is wrapped up or layered up really good.. even though it is only a few mins from the car to the store. At home, I make sure that down comforters are used, that way when we all do sleep, we are kept warm and not easily fall ill. Afterall, prevention is better than cure eh.

Socially Shy

I know of some kids that come to our store during lunch hour are having a bad time socially in school.  Some of them get teased so bad, it’s probably the worst thing a kid can go through during their teenage years.  I wished I could tell them about  acne treatments but i really didn’t wanna embarrassed them in front of their peers, so i usually wait until he/she comes in alone.  Acne can be really painful, I know a girl who happened to be our customer and boy..!! was she suffering.
