The Lemon Water Detox

After reading (more like flip through) the book Eat Right For Your Type by Dr Peter D Adamo, i have started to routinely start my day with a glass of warm water + juice from half a lemon. It is a natural remedy for detox and amazingly, it helps in weight control (well, it works for me) and general health.
Refreshing!

 Benefits of lemon water:

1. Cleanse your system

in her book "You Are What You Eat", Dr. Gillian Mckeith said, " A warm cup of water first thing in the morning (even better with a squeeze of lemon) goes right through the bowels and cleans mucus out from the day before." 

 Most of the food that we eat causes our body to become a bit acidic. A lot of diseases thrive in acidic condition. Lemon water although acidic in nature, when consumed, digested and reacted in the body, it became alkaline in nature. Hence balancing your body pH. Read THIS for more info on body pH

2. Aids digestion

Frinking lemon water regularly will aid in cleansing the bowels, helps eliminates constipation and diarrhea.

3. Stimulate and detox the liver

According to Kloss (Back to Eden,1988), lemon water dissolves uric acid and other poisons in the liver, liquefies bile and helps relieve malaria cases. Lemons are high in potassium and are extremely effective in treating biliousness, a symptom of liver disorder, which causes constipation, headaches, vomiting of bile and loss of appetite. People with liver complaints should drink the juice of one lemon in warm water one hour before breakfast each morning, according to Kloss.

4. Vitamin C and weight loss

Part of the reason for the powerful effects of this combination is lemon's high vitamin C content. According to an article published in the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" in 2005, vitamin C is inversely related to your body mass. Researcher reported that having enough vitamin C intake, as opposed to being vitamin C-deficient, helps your body set off a series of chemical reactions that break down your body fat for use as energy.
Oh you know about how when you detox, getting rid of all those harmful substances and when you're healthier, you skin will show it first? Besides detoxing, you'll be getting your daily dose of vitamin C (good for complexion). 

 Detox + vitamin C = beautiful complexion. Au naturel. 

 I swear by lemon water. It really does wonder for your health and beauty.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata.

Beauty In Its Simplicity

Photo courtesy of Paul I've known Renna from many years ago, back to the days when both of us are still students. Along with few other friends, we were always cramped into 22B on the weekends, doing a lot of foolish crazy things. We shared many memories of trips with the late Dr.Jugah and his family. Oohh those were the days. And then, life happens and most of us parted ways. Usually meeting up again during weddings. Renna and I were the kind of friends who don't talk on a regular basis but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. Of course, as she is friends with my family, she is also a family friend. God sometimes  always works in a mysterious way. Who would have thought that many years down the road from when we were just measly students, Renna would marry my brother's good friend?  The story started when my brother asked his friend/colleague, Corbin to tag along for a lunch meet up with Renna, and then they say, the rest is history. I'm tr...

Pulau Perhentian Travelogue Day 2: Ayuh Snorkelling Mencari Nemo

Pulau Perhentian Travelogue Day 2: Ayuh Snorkelling Mencari Nemo Wow banyaknya anak ikan. Aummm Belum baca cerita Day 1? Klik disini ye. Pagi-pagi buta seawal pukul 7.30 pagi iols dah bangun. Bangun awal sebab semangat nak terjah breakfast buffet hotel. Yang agak mengecewakan, weols semua 10 orang tapi yang hotel bagi complimentary untuk 6 orang sahaja. Jadinya yang 4 orang lagi tu makan megi dan roti dalam bilik jeh. Kalau tak complimentary, the breakfast buffet is RM30 per person. Hmm. I somehow think it's not worth it So weols rotate la. Hari ni iols breakfast kat restoran, besoknya iols breakfast dalam bilik. Our fav spot Restoran Sharila resort ni ada outdoor seating. Favourite spot weols is the gazebo on the cliff, overlooking the sea, serenaded by the sound of the waves. Such a wonderful experience. Aktiviti Di Pulau Perhentian Day 2 weols decide untuk snorkelling.  Ada banyak vendor untuk uols pilih kalau nak snorkelling ni tapi semua lebih kurang sama...
