亲人因為乳癌過世(胸部保健)

說到女性胸部的保健，
乳癌一直在女性的前十大死因中居高不下。

也有亲人因為乳癌在去年過世，
完全瞒着我们，至到末期， 因為癌細胞擴散，
接受化療两次后，
沒多久日子便過世了。

一个很错误的观念，为何生病了就要瞒着亲人，
觉得不要拖援时间，不要让自己受更多的苦，
别这样，
请让我们知道，请让我们支持你，
请为自己，为我们活下去！

在這裡POST一下乳癌自我檢查的步驟：
乳房自我檢測的最佳時機為月經完3-5天內，停經者則自選每月固定一日檢查。
檢測方式：站立時，雙手自然下垂，站在鏡子前面觀察乳房皮膚、
外觀、形狀、大小，之後雙手往後放在臀部，讓胸部突出，及雙手向上舉起，
觀察乳房皮膚、外觀、形狀、大小。
平躺時，胸後墊小枕頭，讓乳腺撐平，使用指腹以順時鐘，
或從乳頭以放射狀的方向觸摸有無硬塊及異樣。
胸部有硬塊，合併有乳頭分泌物時，惡性乳癌的可能性非常高，

每位女性應對自己的乳房有完整的保健概念，
-(1)減少酒精(one drink a day or avoid alcohol completely)，-(2)维持正常体重，尤其在更年期后(Excess fatty tissue is a source of circulating estrogen in your body. And breast cancer risk is linked to how much estrogen you're exposed to during your lifetime.)，-(3) 让身体保持活跃，常运动。-(4)減少高脂肪、高熱量食物的攝取(Results from study of dietary fat and breast cancer risk suggest a slight decrease in risk of invasive breast cancer for women who eat a low-fat diet. )-(5)更你的医生讨论停止长期服用HORMONE。-(6)每月應-定-期自我檢測之外，
超過40歲以上女性宜每年定期至醫院檢查。特別對於乳癌高危險群的人而言，
建議每半年至醫院作乳房檢查，以確保健康。

另外，除了自我檢查外，強烈建議姊姊妹妹們定期去做檢查，
其實自我檢查真的不夠，當你摸的出硬塊，看的到異狀時，
往往早已是很後期，很嚴重的時候了，希望大家都要注意自己的健康，
沒有健康，不管有多少理想都會只剩下空想跟遺憾的。

Legal cheating activities

Pretty, this word is killing...my money dumped into sea due to ...

Case 1:
Went to the famous hair salon in the town for hair treatment, the hair stylist with the awesome styling sure will ask you: "do you wanna try our better hair treatment? The result is much better than the normal treatment, you just need to pay for another RMXX?" "okay..."as i already budgeted for this, so what's wrong if i was to pay for another RMxx for better result. Guess what...i didnt see any significant result after all, looked less frizzy after blowing~~~after hair washing....'!!

Then, knew one friend, ex-hairstylist of that salon, been told that the so-called advanced treatment actually just using better hair treatment wax, probably RM80-100 per litre, well, to do your treatment they probably just need to use 15ml-30ml, that means RM1.50-3.00/treatment. And the steaming machine...RM120 you will get one! aha....RM80 per treatment for suck...

Case 2:
went to the beauty centre called "Nxx Yxxk Sxxn Sxxxxxxx" for triple masks facial treatment...everthing went well until...."do you want to try our ampoule, is very effective?"..."oh...emh..."<<

(price for ampoule i've been try, very effective, RM15 each---sure not in salon, home DIY to do this, from Australia)

the next day, looked at the mirror, acne(s) poping out over my face, 1,2,3,4,5,6..oh my godness...so scary, i have no acne-prone skin usually, never...angry, get back to there,arguing..they explained:"this is the detoxifying reaction after the treatment, may be this is the first time you use our product!!!!" my darling, this is not my first time to do facial treatment or try new product...

And have to go back to visit the skin doctor for the problem and clear the acne scar...money matter again!

Fish oil for omega 3 fatty acids?

Omega-3 milk powder, omega 3 eggs, salmon fish oil...you've probably heard a lot through the advertisement and news for their values to your health, but do you really understand what are them, the ways in which they are beneficial to your health and which foods to get them from?

Er...not really,right?

First, what are them?
Omega 3 fatty acids are a family of unsaturated fatty acids that have in common a carbon–carbon double bond in the n−3 position, chemically speaking, meaningless to you right?Ok, let's proceed...Important nutritionally essential n−3 fatty acids are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). They are called essential fatty acid as our bodies cannot produce them through other nutrients.

Next, the key health benefits of including omega-3 fatty acids in your diet:
-help keep your heart and blood vessels healthy. In doing so, they can reverse and prevent high blood pressure, as well as reduce your risk of suffering a stroke.
-decrease pain and inflammation throughout your body.
-help prevent breast and colon cancer.
-help to reverse and prevent depression and other mental/emotional health challenges.

Let's see their relationship:

Dark green vegges,
Walnuts, flax seeds, →→ ALA →→Intermediate →→→EPA ↔↔DHA
Plant foods etc molecules ↑ ↑
↑ ↑
↑ ↑
Cold water fish, fish oil, seaweed, etc

Need fish oil?----not necessarily..
Your body is able to convert ALA into EPA and DHA. So theoretically, if you are in excellent health and eat lots of dark green leafy vegetables, ground flax seeds, and walnuts, your body should be able to produce enough EPA and DHA from ALA to provide all of the health benefits listed above..

Some people who support eating only plant foods raise objections to using fish oil, such as the possibility of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil turning rancid, as well as the possibility of fish oil containing environmental pollutants like mercury. These objections are valid, as independent studies performed by organizations like consumerlabs.com have found that some brands of fish oil contain rancid fatty acids that can harm your health.

Other Suspected risks :
-Increased bleeding if overused (normally over 3 grams per day) by a patient who is also taking aspirin or warfarin.
-Hemorrhagic stroke (only in case of very large doses, called "Eskimo amounts").
-Oxidation of n−3 fatty acids forming biologically active oxidation products.
-Reduced glycemic control among diabetics.
-Suppression of immune and inflammation responses, and consequently, decreased resistance to infections and increased susceptibility to opportunistic bacteria.
-An increase in concentration of LDL cholesterol in some individuals.

As it is with all of the nutrients that we know of to date, omega-3 fatty acids work synergistically with many co-factors to provide their health promoting effects. In my opinion, I feel that it is wise to eat a variety of foods that are naturally rich in ALA, EPA, and DHA rather than to rely on a supplement that contains just one or more of these omega-3 fatty acids .

Not simply replacement of the one vitamin which you deficient!

I saw my friend, lots of friends are heading to pharmacies for vitamins or minerals simply just because they “think” they are deficient, or they “think” they should consume more of that particular vitamins or minerals, especially Vitamin C, believe in its skin whitening properties. In fact, this is ineffective, or even dangerous.

Whenever we seek for to correct a vitamin or mineral deficiency, we must recognize that nutrients work synergistically, in other words, some other nutrients must have to be present together only our body can absorb and assimilate with that particular nutrient which we deficient of. This means that there is cooperative action between certain vitamins and minerals, which may work as catalysts, promoting the absorption and assimilation of other vitamins and minerals. Correcting the deficiency in one vitamin and mineral requires the addition of others, not simply replacement of the one which you deficient. This is why taking a single vitamin or mineral may be ineffective or even dangerous, and this is why a balanced vitamin and mineral preparation should always be taken in addition to any single supplement.

For instance, vitamin B complex should be taken with calcium,vitamin C and E.
Vitamin C should be taken together with bioflavonoids (phytochemical), calcium and magnesium. To correct the deficiency to Vitamin E, essential fatty acids,manganese, selenium, vitamin A and Vitamin B1, inositol and vitamin C have to be taken together. There are lots of examples to go…..

爱情里究竟谁骗了谁？

爱情里究竟谁骗了谁？

我有个愿望，希望自己可以象巴士里的人一样，很平静，很平静地坐着巴士回家，就象他们一样，那就好了，别让我再困在自己的世界里，孤独、执着、痛苦、无措里了。心好苦，不想再次在巴士流泪了。。。愿望，成真了吗？

不知道从何时开始，爱情只存在于我的生命里，却很少出现在我的脑子里。曾经，它常在我脑海里。或许是因为我有了个很爱我的人。我想，是这样的吧。他愿意付出所有，包容了我的无理要求、无理取闹、甚至是欺骗。他太爱我了，会到什么时候呢？终有一天吧，我不知道，也不去想，就逃避。爱情里，我变得自私了，是自私让爱情不再出现呢，还是他的爱让我不再为爱烦恼呢，还是。。。

曾经，我很爱一个人，就因为爱他，我让他离开了，去追求自己的梦想，或许我也没能耐阻止。就这样，送走了他，一年后，也从我生命中走了，永远。得知，他的生命中已经有了个她。

这里，想向个人说对不起，我欠了他好久，也不懂他在哪里？

算劈腿吗？同时，我的生命里也有了另一个他。虽然他知道他，我们还是开始了。刺激、好玩、新鲜。四个月后，他一直在我脑海里，怀疑、徘徊。这男人能够跟我走下去吗？这时，之前的他回来了，他想回来我身边吗？非也，为了什么我也不懂，到现在也不懂。我以为我还爱他，但一个吻否定了一切。也否定了我与两个他。很土，但真的，人生如戏。

一切都结束了吗？我错了。。。我一直哀求，成了？断了？都没有。我真的如此爱他吗？瞒着我，他有了个她，我的友。这中间，也存在了个左右为难的友，瞒着了整件事。原来如此，友情。。爱情。。

我们这样子也好，爱情不平等了，人也不会幸福。


很多故事被发现了，故事背后的某些部份还是被隐瞒着，不见得光，也包护着某些人。


车祸发生了。。。后来的日子呢？不记得了，有好多人。。。好多人。。。拼命叫我给他爱的人、拼命说会给我爱得人。。。被性侵犯了。匆匆，出现了第三、第四个他。。。

人，在不同的阶段总是会为不同的事情在忙着。终于，遇到了他，给我爱情的人。也停止了我为爱情而忙的阶段。

“WEI，今晚有空吗？出来见个面吧，我好想你” 另一个男人说着。

“好啊 。”

监狱风云

监狱风云

看了EYE ASIA，觉得顶有趣的，就POST了跟大家笑一笑。

撑竿跳戒毒
英国一所青少年监狱为了激励犯人积极改造，在监狱内推出一项撑竿跳课程。第一批的学员共有30人，狱方希望能从中培养出运冠军来。一些吸毒者在练了撑竿跳后，从此解除毒瘾，让负责人喜出望外，认为体育锻炼对于告别毒瘾有显著的作用。然而，附近一些居民却忧心忡忡，担心这些撑竿跳的学员锻炼得太好，会跳墙越狱。狱方则大派定心丸，说监狱的围墙有1。6米，而墙头布满数十俚米高的带刺铁丝网，即使他们练出世界记录保持者布勃卡的6。14室外世界记录，也插翅难飞。

跨国借牢房
比利时监狱人满为患，而邻国荷兰却相反，有许多闲置的牢房。比利时司法部脑筋动到荷兰的牢房去，打算向邻国求援，就近租下这些牢房来使用。比利时司法部发言人说，比国政府已经在兴建新的监狱，但是距离完工还有一段时间，听说过去苏格兰曾经向荷兰租下监狱，他也想比照办理。不过，已被荷兰REJECT了，比利时方面则打算通过外交途径，再度向荷兰求援。如果事成，接下来比利时的囚犯就很有可能在国外坐牢了。

笑一笑，祝福我。

Your Skin Care kills or Cure you?!

Ever heard of the words: methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, benzylparaben, butylparaben.... Then look at your ingredient list of your skin care, body lotion, shampoo, underarm deodorant etc...See them? Ok, fine, and what are them?

Parabens are a group of chemical which are favored as cheap and effective preservatives that hamper the growth of bacteria and fungi (bacteriocidal & fungicidal properties), and yet do not impact/modify the viscosity, colour, fragrance and overall performance of the product they are used in.

And now look at the statements below:

UK scientists' analysis of 20 breast tumours found high concentrations of para-hydroxybenzoic acids (parabens) in 18 samples. Parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. From this research it is not possible to say whether parabens actually caused these tumours, but they may certainly be associated with the overall rise in breast cancer cases.

And i found that the below statement is interesting, not going to conclude anything, and you...think about it!

"One would expect tumours to occur evenly, with 20 per cent arising in each of the five areas of the breast," "But these results help explain why up to 60 per cent of all breast tumours are found in just one-fifth of the breast - the upper-outer quadrant, nearest the underarm."


Parabens are skin deep?

Yes...Previously published studies have shown that parabens are able to be absorbed through the skin and to bind to the body's estrogen-receptors,where they can encourage breast cancer cell growth.

A Danish study found that when a paraben cream was spread on the backs of healthy men, the substance showed up in their blood samples in mere hours.This demonstrates that parabens do indeed penetrate the human skin from cosmetic products

No....Some scientists maintains that the amount of parabens absorbed by the skin is very low and the parabens are "metabolised by the skin cells to produce products that have no estrogenic activity".

Aha...why the studies so controversial?

These studies basically focused on the use of parabens in underarm deodorants and lotions that applied to breast, i'm not so sure whether it is safe to use paraben on other parts of body. But i recommend that women should not use cosmetic products containing parabens until their safety can be established. Try to go for products which are parabens-free , but they are shorter shelf life.
