Cancer And Genetics?

Salam darlings...
When going through my keywords at nuffies, I realised that people who came to my blog searched on chemotherapy. I think its my call to do some research in order to share some infos on this matter in my blog now as i recently lost a beloved uncle(arwah uncle mie, my mom's younger brother) to leaukimia(donno how to spell it) and another uncle(uncle pa, my mom's second brother) is down with prostate cancer.

There are sayings that has yet to be proven clinically that cancer is in the gen. So in a way, its inherited. One thing that I realised through me and my family's observation based on my uncles' cases is that they share the same blood group and maybe they share the same favourite type of food where if they are given the option to eat it daily, they would do it with pleasure :p. But somehow, the cancer thingy starts just at my uncle's generation where in the past as in my grandpa and grandma's generation do not have this problem. All my prayers go out for you my dear uncle pa. (he is in the hospital right now, haven't been eating for 2 months now..:( and please pray for his strength and our strength yeah darlings). So basically, anyone of any age is susceptible to cancer and we should be aware of it and live in moderation.

So as i was googling for more info on the matter, i came across baby edday's blog posts on beating cancer. She shared some tips on how to beat cancer away. So here are some of the tips:

1. Cuddle
Cuddling somehow is scientifically proven to reduce stress cause it lowers the stress hormones and produces the happy hormones instead. So cuddle up people...yang dah kahwin tu, sila peluk cik abang and cik adik masing2 ya, and ur kids, mom, dad...everybody. That is why, whenever we are stressed out, a good cuddle somehow manage to do the trick if not much. Kan?? Mudah dan indah ciptaan Allah.

2. Tea or Coffee??
I'm not a big fan of coffee so thus its easy for me to make the choice. Tea is believed to have the antioxidant which then can reduce the risk of cancer.

3. Sleep
Yerp. Even your sleeping patterns can put you at risk if its not done the right way. Sleep well and sleep in total darkness. As the brain produces melatonin hormone which is the powerful cancer fighter only when you sleep in the dark. Sleeping in less darker room will cause less melatonin production. Thus exposing you to bigger cancer risk. No wonder our ancestors tak ada problem cenggini. They live in moderation, exercise plenty, sleep well in total darkness and love each other well!

4. Friends
Get more friends. More friends=less stress.

5. Pets
Get a pet. Basically, pets are seen as companions. It helps to reduce the stress and thus control your blood pressure and helps boost your longevity. Try getting one, then you'll know what and how i mean when i say that they'll help you reduce stress and such.

6. Eat Healthy
Please eat at least a serving a day of fruits/veges/whole grains. It helps avoid problems with your intestinal tracts.

7. Exercise(my least favourite word)
Well exercise doesn't mean you have to go to the gym and do all the work outs or basically go jogging aite? Make it fun yet sweaty!:) You can dance with your angels, chase them and play games which requires physical strength and basically make it FUN!:) Be creative. For those yang tak ada masa, balik rumah, naik tangga bukan naik lift. Tu pon dah kira exercise what!:) Hehehehe i have to kalau tak jangan harap i nak gi park semata-mata nak gi jogging semua...:p At a minimum 3x per week which every session lasts up to 20 minutes.

8. No No No To Cigars/alcohol
If you are smoking, quit now! and the same goes to alcohol. I bet yang ni semua dah tahu kan?

9. Weight
Obesity is linked to certain types of cancer. So people, watch your diet please, avoid fast food. And belilah Premium beautiful. It can really help!:)

10. Premium Beautiful
Wear it at least 8 hours a day. The infra red inside it helps to reduce the risk of cancer.

Smelly no more

Salam dearies..
Today, I would like to talk about deodorants.
picture credits to google
I've been wearing deodorant since I was in standard 6. Back then, my mom and sis introduced me to nivea roll on deodorant. It really lasts long. But the downside of it, it leaves white marks on the armpit area of my shirt. And it doesn't dry off as quickly thus I have to bear with the feeling of wet armpits till the deodorant really dries itself. And that feeling can lasts up to say 3 gruesome minutes. 
Then I started experimenting a whole lot of deodorants. I even tried the 'hibka' or deodorant in the talcum form which looks like this....

But hibka doesn't suits me well. It made my skin all dry and flaky. So i switch to Simple roll on deodorant instead.

This particular deodorant doesn't lasts long with me. I was quite active back in high school. Not really a sports person but I was always having march practice for my girl guides club. So thus, me being all sweaty and such, I had to change deodorant as this particular deodorant can't even take care of my armpits even for half the schooling hours. Not even half the day, my armpits all sweaty but not smelly.

So there was this one time where me and my bff bought a US pop magazine or something that we came across a deodorant ad where they give a free sample of the smell or something where you rub ur wrists against the paper and voila, smell sticks to ur hands. So we were heads over heels with the smell and decided to search for the deodorant locally. And we managed to find it in watsons.

The Lady Speed Stick Invisible Dry Orchard Blossom is one of the best deodorant ive worn. It is not wet, lasts long, with a very mild but lasting sweet smell. I've worn it like 11 years now. But I guess maybe because of me and my body aging, i'm not that suitable for it anymore. Previously, I have no problem with it but now after wearing it for a very long time, its made my clothes a little yellowish on the armpit area of my white shirts.
I thought that I was having this problem alone when one of my fren told me that she too have the same problem and has convert to other brands of deodorant.
So she recommended the garnier mineral 48 hrs deodorant.

The deodorant truly lasts as long as it claims to even when i'm in very hot and sweating like a pig, i don't have to fear that my armpits will smell like a rotten fish or sweats as a matter of fact. Only prob is, after using this deodorant, my armpits tends to be a lil itchy. Not the dry-flaky-skin itch but its more like the type of itchiness where your armpits hair is growing but i don't have armpits hair. So im thinking of changing my deodorant but don't know what or which brand to change to. Any ideas? thanx...

Fever??


Thats a picture of my angel, Ayra. She is Hyper-allergic to nuts. And yess...any kind of nuts..be it macademia, walnut, peanut, almond, u name it. And her favourite activity is EATING. She loves eating a LOT and eats almost anything. So yesterday evening, she was down with fever, runny nose, cough and a lil wheezing. The nuts was the culprit. After giving her some paracetamol, a glass of yogurt drink, her dose of inhaler, cough syrup and drinking plenty of water, her fever subsides and the wheezing stops. But the cough was there till morning came and the fever came back. So I tried using tamarind juice by applying it to her entire head. The feverish slowly subsides, and she is now sleeping soundly.

Well the main reason for me putting up this post is to get tips and also give tips on what should you do to bring down the body temperature back to normal. Well as for me, I usually use tamarind juice and smother it over the entire head..and also drink yogurt drink/yogurt itself[cause it contains probiotic or active live bacterial culture]..it does wonders to your body. And as a mom, its easier to persuade ur kids in taking anything other than the medicine. 


A friend of mine also suggested using the hibiscus flower and scrunch it in the water to extract the juice or something and then smother the juice on the entire head jugak. And another tips was to use the shallots which is then mix with coconut oil and smother over the head/body. Barley is beleived to have the cooling effects jugak cause when i was small, remembered that whenever im having very high fever, my mom will make me drink the barley juice.Any other method or ways that i don't know of??Do share..thanx dearies.
And this is ayra with her fever. 





Pls pray that she'll be fine so that she can play happily with her sister ( miffy ) again.Miffy is bored today as she has no companion to play with and is nagging her papa to 'teman' her with everything.
And this is miffy yang tengah kebosanan...
