At 0800 hour of 2010-11-28. Tanita BC 532 Scale = 55.6 kg

At 0530 hour of 2010-10-28. Watson Scale = 54.9 kg + 500g = 55.4 kg. Tanita Scale = not used

At 0530 hour of 2010-09-28. Watson Scale = 55.3 kg + 500g = 55.8kg. Tanita Scale = not used

At 0730 hour of 2010-08-28. Watson Scale = 55.3 kg + 500g = 55.8kg. Tanita Scale = not used

At 0530 hour of 2010-07-28. Watson Scale = 55.0 kg + 500g = 55.5kg

But Tanita Scale = not used

At 0530 hour of 2010-06-28. Watson Scale = 55.9 kg + 500g = 56.4 kg

But Tanita Scale = 56.2 kg .

At 0650 hour of 2010-04-28. Watson Scale = 55.2 kg and

Tanita Scale = 55.7 kg which is the same as Watson reading (in kg) + 500g.

At 0630 hour of 2010-05-28. Watson Scale = 54.6 kg + 500g = 55.1 kg

 At 0530 hour of 2010-06-28. Watson Scale = 55.8kg + 500g = 56.3 kg

At 0530 hour of 2010-07-28. Watson Scale = 56.0kg + 500g = 56.5 kg

At 0830 hour of 2010-08-28. Watson Scale = 56.4kg + 500g = 56.9 kg

Note: From 2010-02-01, Watson weighing scale had replaced Camry, which became faulty. In the past reading of Camry was about 500g more than that of Watson. To maintain consistency, so my weight =Watson reading (in kg) + 500g.

On 2010-03-28, at about 7.40 am, my weight by Camry = 55.9 kg + 500g = 56.4 kg. I also used Tanita BC-532 Body Composition Monitor to confirm that my weight was 56.4 kg.

My current BMI is within the healthy range of 18.5 to 22.9.

For me, the range of healthy weight is 50.9786 kg (BMI = 18.5) to 63.10324 kg (BMI = 22.9).

People with BMI values of 23 kg/m2 (or 25 kg/m2 according to some sources) and above have been found to be at risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.

To be healthy, I must have a healthy weight.

Be as lean as possible without being underweight, as recommended by World Cancer Prevention Foundation, United Kingdom.

Book titled " 

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up : The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing"

By Marie Kondo

Description
=========

Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo's clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list).With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), this international bestseller featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home-and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

Health supplements for vision and healthy eyes

http://www.webmd.com/eye-health/vision-supplements

The following information is from the above web link is pasted here for your convenience.

Supplements for Vision and Healthy Eyes
============

You may have heard about recent research suggesting that certain nutrients can help delay or prevent eye problems and disease. You may also have heard a lot of claims for over-the-counter (OTC) visionsupplements containing these nutrients -- and claims for others that have not been tested in clinical studies.

So what should you believe? What can you do to protect your eye health and eyesight using vision supplements? Here is information to help you decide.

Important: Your doctor is your first resource for information about your health. Regardless of dosage, supplements are not a cure for health problems or a substitute for medication your doctor has recommended. Always check with your doctor before beginning to take any dietary supplement, including vision supplements.

Vision Supplements in Multivitamins

Before you ask your doctor about taking mega-doses of vision supplements, take a look at your multivitamin, if you use one. You'll probably find you're already taking several of the following nutrients for healthy eyes. If not, look for these nutrients, in at least these amounts, when you buy a multivitamin or supplement:

Vitamin C, 250 mg

Vitamin E, 200 mg

Beta-carotene, 5,000 IU

Zinc, 25 mg

Zeaxanthin, 500 mcg

Selenium, 100 mcg

Lutein, 10 mg

Calcium, 500 mg

Thiamin, 2 mg

Folic acid, 800 mcg

Omega-3 essential fatty acids (including flaxseed oil), 2,000-3,000 mg

N-acetyl cysteine, 100 mg

Alpha lipoic acid, 100 mg

If you can't find a single product that contains all or most of these nutrients, they are available individually.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin and Eye Health

Lutein and Zeaxanthin and Eye Health

Source: http://www.nhstaysideadtc.scot.nhs.uk/MDS%20Nutrition%20and%20the%20eye.pdf

More recently, interest has grown into the effect
of the antioxidant lutein (pronounced loo-teen),
a carotenoid (pigment) found in high quantities
in green leafy vegetables.

Lutein, with zeaxanthin
(pronounced zay-a-zan-thin), forms the macular
pigment, absorbing potentially damaging blue
light and free radicals.

This in turn relieves
oxidative stress – a state in which free radical
generation compromises the ability of the
antioxidant defence system to neutralise their
reaction before they cause damage to cells.


Meso-zeaxanthin (MZ) is another carotenoid that
scientists think is formed from lutein within the
retina. There is little evidence at the moment to
suggest that supplementing with MZ is any better
than supplementing with lutein.

Some studies have shown that lutein can also
increase the density of the macular pigment – an
important yardstick for the health of the macula –
while other research indicates that early damage
to the macula may be slowed by supplementing
the diet with lutein.

The human body is unable to manufacture lutein
so it has to be obtained from food or supplements.
Taking 10mg of lutein every day was found by a
randomised controlled trial to have a positive
effect, so this is generally considered to be the
minimum amount needed. However the European
average daily intake is just 2.2mg a day.

While research into the potential benefits of lutein
is continuing, experts agree that you should eat a
healthy balanced diet which includes plenty of
green leafy vegetables and make sensible lifestyle
changes, such as stopping smoking, which will
boost general health and help reduce your risk of
developing AMD.

Lutein and zeaxanthin can be found naturally in
vegetables and fruit. For example, lutein can be
found in yellow and orange peppers, Brussels
sprouts, sweetcorn, green peas, mango, bilberries
and green leafy vegetables such as kale, all cabbage,
winter greens, spinach, chard and broccoli. The
vegetables should be cooked as this increases
‘bioavailability’ (how easy it is for the digestive
system to extract the lutein). Kale however, which
is by far the best source of lutein, has good
bioavailability even without cooking.

Zeaxanthin can be
found in orange and
yellow fruits, sweet
peppers, broccoli,
sweetcorn, Romaine
lettuce, spinach,
tangerines, oranges
and eggs. Many of
these overlap with
food types in which

Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life’s hard.

“Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life’s hard.”
― John Bytheway

That’s a great wisdom, indeed. A cinch means an easy task, something natural such as a child’s play.

Taking small steps

When we focus on life as a whole, we can’t master it. When we focus on a big problem head on, we are overpowered to face it. When we focus on an important life decision, we get stuck.

Future apprehends.
Size overwhelms.
Analysis becomes paralysis.

Yet … when we approach problems and decisions by taking small steps, the solutions are being slowly created. Or revealed.

Parents and children 父母和子女

Source: Whatsapp on 2017-01-13

Gifted scholar Zhao Jie from the university of Beijing wrote :

" I admire those parents who are able to forge extremely strong and close bonds with their children when they were young and yet know when to let go in a timely and appropriate manner when the children have grown up.

A parent- child relationship is not a type of permanent relationship with the parents being in control.
It is a special and profound relationship brought about by fate; we must not let the child feel deprived or lacking when they were young and neither should we let them feel stifled when they have grown up.

The role of parents is not easy；it's a journey of love and wisdom.
Very often people wonder why do we have children? Is it to carry on the family's line or to raise children to take care of us in old age?...

Finally, I found an answer: the reason for having children is for both to love and to appreciate.
We should not ask for perfection in our children, neither should we expect them to win credits to honour the family nor should we want them as an insurance for old age.

We are just glad that we have the chance to walk with them through part of their journey of life in this world.

Our only wish is for our children to be healthy n happy.

For all the parents...  who love their children !

北大才女趙婕寫到:「我欽佩一種父母，她們在孩子年幼時給予強烈的親密，又在孩子長大後學會得體的退出，照顧和分離都是父母在孩子身上必須完成的任務。親子關係不是一種恆久的佔有，而是生命中一場深厚的緣分，我們既不能使孩子感到童年貧瘠，又不能讓孩子覺得成年窒息。做父母，是一場心胸和智慧的遠行。不僅僅是做父母，人生的許多時刻都應該懂得進退。」
       經常有人聊起：要孩子是為了什麼？傳宗接代還是養兒防老？終於聽到一個令人感動的答案：為了付出與欣賞。
       不求孩子完美，不用替我爭臉，更不用幫我養老。只要這個生命健康存在，在這個美麗的世界上走一遍，讓我有機會與他同行一段……
       這段話很美，美到想哭……於是告誡自己：換個方式去愛孩子！只要他（她）健康，快樂，足矣…——送給所有的父母！

Vitamin C and cancer, virus, etc

https://riordanclinic.org/2016/06/journey-healing-finding-new-life-lyme-disease/

Quote

"In simple terms, as explained to me by Dr. Ron Hunninghake, IV Vitamin C works like a Trojan horse. The Vitamin C molecule looks very similar to a glucose (sugar) molecule. The cancer, bacteria, virus, infection, pathogen etc. mistakenly eat the Vitamin C thinking it’s sugar and when they eat the Vitamin C, the byproduct is hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the cell and kills the bad cells leaving the good cells alone. The bad cells don’t want oxygen, so it’s basically death by oxygen."

Niacin - What is it

https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002409.htm

Niacin is a type of B vitamin. It is water-soluble, which means it is not stored in the body. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means you need a regular supply of such vitamins in your diet.

Function

Niacin helps the digestive system, skin, and nerves to function. It is also important for converting food to energy.
