Lesson Learnt 2:Not Compliant to Medication

         I'm currently having sore throat.Usually this will be the earliest sign that I'll be getting sick,that I will go into fever,cold,cough,runny nose.Usually,but not necessarily.hehe.. Actually I'm the kind that rarely take medication when I'm having fever,because I just don't like taking medicine itself.When I was small,I have a strong thought and belief that taking medicine is not good,because it contains chemicals.And I don't know what effect it can cause to my body even though it relieves some health problem.So,whenever I have minor illnesses,I try to avoid taking medicine.Besides,I also don't know the proper technique of how to take medicine by mouth,how to swallow it properly so that it can go directly into my throat,into esophagus and stomach.

Why Can't You Drink Milk When You Get Diarrhoea?

Hello.In my previuos article,I mentioned some of the important things you need to know about diarrhoea.But I leave one question at the end of it.So,the question is why can't you drink milk when you are having diarrhoea?

How to Do Breast Self Examination

Have you ever do breast self examination??Learn it here!!

Firstly,when to do

The ideal time to self-inspect and examine your own breasts definitely when you are not wearing any clothes.I mean the upper  part.You don’t have to undress the lower body just to this!!This is also the time when you usually have time to  look closely on your body parts.So,I can say that the most ideal time is when you are in the shower.You can do it before,after or while taking a bath.However,you can do it anytime you like and when you are free -)

Based on some information I read,you can do  it at least once a month,just after your menstrual period has ended.This is because at this time,your breast are not tender.If you are already menopause,you can perform it on the same day each month.

The term babies which I used refer to small babies-infants;those who cannnot even speak yet.They are unable to produce any words that makes sense or have any meaning.So they cannot tell us if they are having something bothering them.What they can do,is just cry,cry and cry,in order to get attention from parents.If we don't know the reason and the baby keep crying non-stop,at some point we may get irritated.But nothing we can do because we are just clueless of what's going on with them.So,it is important to know the basic reasons why they are crying.

Do You Know What Is Health

Health is one of  God's amazing gift to us.It is very crucial in our life.

We never think or realise it until something happens to it.

When our health is affected,we will not be able to enjoy our daily life normally.

We lost appetite,unable to sleep or perform a task and even our feeling/mind will get distracted when we fall sick.

According to WHO,Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

This definition is so simple and hardly forgotten,but do we really understand what does it means?Physical(body),mental(mind) and social,all these three components are included and must be taken care very well.As mentioned before,being healthy is not merely the absence of disease.If we are free from any diseases it doesn't mean that we are really healthy.Even healthy and fit-looking people are not in good health when their mind troubling with something because this eventually will affect their physical health.
