Let's share some health tips

Maybe coz i m getting older, year by year, so I become more health-conscious; or perhaps after some detox, I found that its really pleasant to have a healthy lifestyle and be more conscious of your body. So I hope my frens and I can share some healthy tips on this post, just post your habits/diets here, and we can have a 'mini discussion'.

Let me start with mine:

1. A glass of water every morn, after brushing my teeth. Usually I am only satisfied after 2 glasses.

2. An apple a day, usually after breakfast. Coupled with yoghurt.

3. Honey with lemon, i try to have it on alternate days in the morn, if i remember :P

4. Every meal, only 50-60% full and eat super slowly (recently, mommy is complaining i eat too little!). No fried food, no fatty skin, no white rice (i try). My vice is i like milk tea (Teh-C). No soft drinks (whats so nice abt the gases..haha)! Another vice: chocolates, i restrict to one piece per month, so i eat selectively.

5. Half a glass of milk, with 3 spoons of Post-it cereals > yummy! I love birch museli too, but i only get it when i have breakfast at hotels (during holi) and not all hotels serve it good and tasty (Crown at Melbourne serves a fantastic one!!) > anyone can teach me how to home-make it?

6. Recently, i developed the habit of eating soupy things, like beehoon soup, fishball soup > coz it fills me faster and porridge is good too.

7. No 'white white' thing: white rice, white flour, white sugar > a bit hard, but i try.

8. No 'weird weird' food: by nature, i do not eat sotong, shell/clam-family, 'abnormal meat', no raw food, no lor mee/mee rebus (things with tons of gravy). Basically i only eat chicken breast/pork/beef/fish/prawn/crab/all veggie/all fruits.

9.Spa massage: this is one of the ways to keep to keep one glowing and rejuvenated. Can detox and destress the body too.

10. Foot massage: a must once a month! I used to be v scared, coz super ticklish. But after 1 try, woah!! I can't quit it!

11. Facial therapy: to primp and pamper my face. Every day makeup, monday to saturday, need to let it rest and 'renovate' it!

12. Yoga, pilates, brisk walk: have been doing it since JC, very addictive, esp yoga. Pilates is great too for toning the body w/o building bulk of muscles.

13. Red wine: i love to open a bottle to drink, ya..alone. Haha :) but since i m home, i can drink a bit more. Heard that drinking wine is good. My fave: Shiraz (a lot of frens commented that they do not like it, too dry/acidic/strong). Pinot Noir is good too :) > ppl who wanna drink with me, come come , i have a lot of reserves at home (some dated back to 1996...) :D

Come come, frens! Let's share and be on our way to a healthier and happier lifestyle!

Detox + cleansed = healthier = happier = satisfaction = contentment inside = glow on surface
