LAVISH MEALS VERSUS DIETING

Written by crizlai on Jan 23rd, 2009 | Filed under: awareness, diet, exercise, food, health, life, living, rant

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What would you do when are on a diet and you have a forth coming festive season where you would be having a lot of dinners and parties? Would you just sit down there and watch all the delicious food being passed around the table or would you jump in the fun and worry about getting fatter by the end of the celebration? I’m sure you would not miss your Mum’s favorite cooking such as the Lamb Shank nor would you want to miss out her Double Chocolate Cheese Moist Cake.

This is the common question posed by most people on strict diet. To me, it all lies in the controlling power of a person. There’s never a right or a wrong answer to whether a person can consume this dish or that dish. It should be a well balanced and complete diet. A meatless and sugarless diet may not be the ideal choice as it would drain your body of the energy to perform well in your daily activities.

You could still go for your Mum’s home cook food but then you might want to consider reducing the intake of some of the other fatty dishes or sugar rich beverages such as BBQ bacon or Iced Honey Cappuccino. After all, how many times a year would you get to enjoy your Mum’s home cook food when you are already having a family of your own elsewhere?

It’s all within your will power to be self disciplined. If you are having 15 minutes of exercises daily, then go for an extra 10-15 minutes for the next few days. That would help to reduce the weight you have gained. Just make sure that you do not skip the fat burning and diet pill you are on during your eating spree.

WHAT SHOULD BE YOUR IDEAL WEIGHT?

Written by crizlai on Jan 21st, 2009 | Filed under: awareness, diet, exercise, health, life, living, tips

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BMI or Body Mass Index as many had known is basically a term used by many physicians and researchers in measuring obesity. It uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person’s height and weight. The formula is rather simple as BMI equals a person’s weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. (BMI=kg/m2).

Obesity is a serious health hazard, having the risks of a number of grave medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, gallbladder disease and gallstones, osteoarthritis, gout, sleep apnea and asthma. An obese person would normally have one or more of hidden dangers such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, inability to control blood sugar and many more. These dangers may lead to a person’s sudden death without much symptoms or signs.

Moreover, the extra weight of an obese person would exert additional pressures on both their knee, hip and lower back joints and thus slowly wear away their protective cartilage resulting in osteoarthritis. They would have a higher risk in developing gout. Snoring heavily and irregular breathing during sleep are part of sleep apnea, which would cause an obese person to be in fatigue and sleepy most of the time. As a result, many heart related diseases would occur.

Just refer to the chart shown below your height. Use a ruler to draw a horizontal line for your weight and a vertical line for your height. Check out which category you fall into. Are you in the underweight, normal, overweight or obese section? Anyone from the overweight and obese section should seriously consider looking into their health issues. You should get some weight off that body of yours by modes of eating healthy, do more exercises or get some diet pills. Please do it not only for yourself but for the concerns of your loved ones.

IT FELT LIKE WALKING DOWN THE WALK OF FAME

Written by crizlai on Jan 12th, 2009 | Filed under: awareness, beauty, confidence, life, lifestyle, solutions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have the time, try observing those people you walk by carefully. You would see that there are many different ways of walking that will clearly show the characteristic of a person. Some would walk with the chin up to show that they have the confidence to face whatever that would be present of them. Some would slouch as if they have a lot of worries or someone pushing them in their daily lives. Some even took short strides and this would clearly show that they are very indecisive about their surrounding.

From these body movements, you would know the level of confidence in each individual. Which of these two would you project yourself? Do you want to have the confident image in your life or would you like be the one always be indecisive in all the decisions you have to make in life?

It’s not solely on what you wear or the colors of your clothing that would make you a bore amongst your colleagues or friends. It’s how you carry yourself in front of them. Your posture is very important. Lift your chin and walk with your shoulders high, unbent waist with the legs locked. Never slouch or look on the ground as you walk. It would make you look shy and withdrawn. You might even need to get accustomed to shoes such as Manolo Blahnik shoes. Once you are in control of your walking skills in these shoes, you would have already mastered your level of confidence. Wherever you walk, you would feel like some great actresses walking down the walk of fame.

YOU MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

Written by crizlai on Dec 30th, 2008 | Filed under: accidents, awareness, cars, insurance

How many of you realized that almost any objects that are lying idle in you car could be a deadly weapon? Most of us would go on with our daily lives, thinking that accidents will not happen to us as long as we have our safety belts on. On top of that, tens of millions of autos on the road today have crash tested well and feature air bags and antilock brakes, giving the driver a sense of safety on the road.

You are totally wrong as there are still many more hidden objects that you would not even consider as deadly weapons in case of accidents. Who would realize that with higher speed limits permitted in most countries, unsecured cargoes within the car can cause major impact on the driver as well as the passengers? People are largely unaware of what can happen in collisions. The forces are extreme. After the collision outside, there are always collisions inside. Both can wreak havoc.

In a crash, any object with an edge can become a blade while blunt objects can become sledgehammers. Do you know that a plastic card lying loosely on your dashboard could slash through your neck during high impact? Even a half finished bottle of mineral water could give out such an impact on the head to cause brain damage. What about golf clubs, tennis racquets or even an uncapped ball pen? In a crash, any of these objects could turn into a deadly projectile.

It’s easily said than done as most of us have the habit of throwing practically anything at our back seats. Just look at the number of cars you have been into with no secured cargoes. I’m quite sure the answers to your little survey would be rather scary only a minority of car owners would leave their car spotlessly clean with no loose objects. No matter what, get a car insurance quote from your nearest insurance agency as you may not know what would happen when you least expected.

MYBROADBAND WIFI FOR PENANGITES

Written by crizlai on Nov 10th, 2008 | Filed under: awareness, broadband, community, internet, living, myBroadband, penang, technology

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Penang and Kulim Pilot Broadband Project was one of the ongoing projects under the National Broadband Plan. MyBroadband WiFi is an initiative by the Ministry of Energy, Water, and Communication to increase the accessibility of Internet through the usage of broadband in Malaysia. This initiative will also enable the public to access key government’s web presences, and e-government services at any of the WiFi locations.

MyBroadband WiFi is implemented through a smart collaboration between the government, the community, and the Internet Service Providers (ISPs), whereby each party would contribute different resources to the initiative. Presently, we can see that ISP companies such as TM, PenangFon and Jaring were heavily involved in the test piloting of this project.

Incorporated as part of the Penang i-Land 2010 Masterplan, the project is designed to provide the necessary infrastructure to realize Penang as a fully connected state by 2010 with reliable, fast broadband and affordable network infrastructure. A few strategic districts such as Batu Ferringhi, Batu Maung, Bayan Baru, Bayan Lepas, Bukit Jambul, Bukit Mertajam, Gelugor, Gurney, Seberang Jaya, Sungai Ara, Sungai Dua, Sungai Nibong, Tanjung Bunga, Tanjung Tokong and Teluk Bahang have already had the service booted up. More districts in Penang as well as Kedah would be up soon.

If you would like to try out the FREE WIFI SERVICE, do register yourself an account at http://www.mybroadband.gov.my to be eligible to surf for free. If you would like to be a provider to make Penang’s dream to be fully connected by 2010, just log in the service provider form to sign yourself up.
