Health talk

Lately my immune system and my appetite have gone down the drain. Now I’m starting to wonder is it because of my age or I didn’t take care of my body that well? But I know that I’m a green eater. I mean, I ate most of the vegetables except for peria, jering and some other related to that. my antibody hasn’t perform really great lately though. I had to top-up with external consume like Scott Emulsions. I started to realize this when I was in my final semester year in Ipoh. last year I was caught in flu, cough and fever quite numerously. early this year, I had a sore throat and cough.  And now, as I’m writing in down in this very moment, I have a flu and a cough. I began to see the pattern and decided to consume other external supplement. You know I’ve always pondering into health and vitamin section whenever I’m entering Watson or a pharmacy but funny this was, I had this thinking that my body isn’t in the need of other extra things like that because we consumed vitamins, minerals and fibers through food right? So, that shouldn’t be a problem. But that was then. Now my body weight is decreasing(my normal was 45, last year decreased to 43 and now it’s between 41-42), my age is increasing, I think there’s no more saying that ‘food is enough’ because I’m not. Looks like I haven’t improve much in terms of weight or food. I have to admit, I haven’t.

So let’s just admit it Rashidah, you need some extra supplement. Then, I began to looking and searching through the good supplement especially for my immune system. One of the supplements that I chose is Manuka Honey. And yes, for those who are wearing spectacles like me, we have another extra to take care of. our eyes. Last week I wanted to buy contact lens because sometimes wearing spectacles can be a hassle. Serabut. Bila nak pakai shade pun I have to double it like I always did when I was in campus. This year, I decided to buy a shade combined with the power but the price mehhh, mahal bro. so I just let it passed then decided to buy contact lens just for the sake of free from a ‘spectacle-prison’. Before I bought it, I asked the optometrist to check my spectacle’s power. I was half dead terkejut when she said my power is 375 on the right and 352 on the left. Gila terkejut. I took my breath deeply thinking that how I could be so careless. I just did my new spectacle this year and yet I didn’t notice it? *face palm. Kalau boleh, I don’t want my spectacle power to go any further than 200 and now it’s increasing. By that time lah I’m searching for vitamins, food or supplement which is good for the eyes I came across the innershine Berry. Idk whether it will work but, usaha right?

since I didn’t know much about the supplement thingy so I straight away asked for a pharmacist to suggest me a supplement for antibody/immune system and she suggested this:

Idk how far and how much that it can work but let’s give it a try. I just wanted to a buy vitamin c supplement in the first place but thinking that I was caught in cough twice this year which was the timeline wasn’t differ much, I decided to choose this Manuka Honey.  It’s quite pricey but thinking this is for my health then I shouldn’t be reluctant about it as long as it can really work. And another funny this is, I gotta tell you, last time, I was really really stingy (orang melayu cakap, berkira-kira?) to give out my money towards this area (vitamins and supplements) while in the fact that I could buy a dress worth more than rm100. Shame right?  And another thing is, health is something that we took for granted, me included. Health is inter-related to our life, body and soul. They’re intertwined. I guess you have to really take care of it very well as long as you still can. Still can move, walk or run. Appreciate them.

I miss how I gobbled up food like goblin during raya and how I ate non-stop from morning til sunset haha. This raya, I didn’t have any appetite to eat. I didn’t feel excited at all looking at nasi dagang, roti jala, nasi impit with kuah kacang. None of them lifted my mood. Even ayah told me I’m getting skinner as well as my sister. Goshh.. but, there’s actually one time during raya holiday I ate rice til third round. Tu pun because I looked at fresh ulam with crispy fried fish, singgang ikan, and of course, kelantanese trademark, Buduuuu..I guess I really miss my home and local food. makanan kampung orang kata. I miss those.

I still remember kak sam said to me, “hey awak ni, power mata naik, berat badan turun. Awak ni stress ni.jangan stress stress sangat. Balik rumah tak payah pikir pasal keje. Rilek je..”

Oh man, did I forget how to have fun?
