Fighting!

Writing really effective in relieving stress. I was very disappointed yesterday but after blogging I feel relieved. People might be sad sometimes; however we should not let negativity affect our life. When someone is lonely, it's the best to find something that can make you happy and forget your problems (in a positive way). As for me, I usually watch dramas and update about TVXQ but now Song Triplets totally take all of my attention away from TVXQ lol Luckily it all worked yesterday, and Im going back to my normal mood. Fighting to myself!!

Very much disappointed.

I am so disappointed today. I was supposed to enjoy this weekend but all are ruined because of an accident. I need to go out of my social life for a while.

Healthy lifestyle.

Hi! Today I'll share some diet tips I've been doing for the past few days and because of this I've lost about 1kg this week. This is only a personal opinion so if you think this is not good then dont do it. Im thinking of cutting some of my weight because my BMI is only a few more points to the overweight category for Asian people which is >22.9.

What is BMI?
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.There are lots of BMI calculator in google but you can count it manually.

 

 

So to maintain my weight and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, I try to adapt a healthy lifestyle starting from last week. Diet doesnt mean you dont eat anything at all because if you lose too much weight suddenly, you will suffer from yoyo effect (Basal Metabolic Rate back to normal after 4 months). It's the best to lose weight gradually so it will stay for a long time.

What I eat during the day:
Morning: white bread with kaya jam, 2 bananas
Mid-morning: If I feel hungry, I eat 1-2 bananas
Lunch: Aglio olio pasta (homemade) or white bread with kaya jam or steamed chicken
Mid-day: Hungry? 1-2 bananas again
Dinner: Normally I dont eat dinner
I drink a lot of water during the day. From what I read, pasta is better than rice because of the high-fibre carbs while rice contains lots of carbs. If there's no bread, you can change it to whole-grain bread. Bananas also help in maintaining a good digestion for people who suffers from constipation. It's also important to reduce fried foods since it contains lot of fats.

Here's some explanation of fibre. (source: www.nhs.uk)
Soluble fibre
Soluble fibre can be digested by your body. It may help to reduce the amount of cholesterol in your blood. If you have constipation, gradually increasing sources of soluble fibre – such as fruit and vegetables, oats and golden linseeds – can help soften your stools and make them easier to pass.
Foods that contain soluble fibre include:

• oats, barley and rye
• fruit, such as bananas and apples
• root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes
• golden linseeds

Insoluble fibre Insoluble fibre can't be digested. It passes through your gut without being broken down and helps other foods move through your digestive system more easily. Insoluble fibre keeps your bowels healthy and helps to prevent digestive problems. If you have diarrhoea, you should limit the amount of insoluble fibre in your diet.
Good sources of insoluble fibre include:

• wholemeal bread
• bran
• cereals
• nuts and seeds (except golden linseeds)

Eating foods high in fibre will help you feel fuller for longer. This may help if you are trying to lose weight.
If you need to increase your fibre intake, it's important that you do so gradually. A sudden increase may make you produce more wind (flatulence), leave you feeling bloated and cause stomach cramps.
It's also important to make sure you drink plenty of fluid. You should drink approximately 1.2 litres (six to eight glasses) of fluid a day, or more while exercising or when it's hot.

Hope all of these help and let's have a healthy lifestyle!

Song Triplets.

These three babies have definitely taken my heart! Song Daehan, Song Minguk, and Song Manse. If you call them together, it will be Daehan Minguk Manse 대한 민국 만세 which means "Long Live the Republic of Korea". Their father, Song Il Gook, is a Korean actor and these babies star in Superman Is Back Season 2. I've recapped the show previously when it starred Haru, Sarang, twins Seoun and Seojun, Junwoo and Junsu in the early episodes. I stopped watching it for a while but then the Song Triplets are very famous since they appear on the show and I decide to watch it again. Sarang and the twins are still on the show while Haru, Junwoo, and Junsu have left the show and being replaced by the triplets and also Jion. I always have a thing for twins; that's why I like the twins and triplets more than other although haru is my favorite. Considering Haru as the most considerate child I've ever know, Im taken aback when I see this triplets; they are way more considerate than Haru is! They are just 3 years old but they take care of each other very well. When one of them is scared of something, the other will calm him down and saying "it's not scary at all." They always go to their own chair when it's the time to eat; they climb themselves to the chair and sit properly, singing along and waiting for the food without nagging. After eating they put the dishes to the sink and even clean their tables. I dont think 3yo kids these days do those things themselves. There's also the reflection chair which I like the most from the father's way to educate the children. When one of them makes mistakes, he tell him to bring his own chair, go to their bedroom, and face the wall for 5 minutes to reflect their mistakes. You would think it's not effective for kids, but they did it and it was a success. Twins is always cute but we know it's hard to raise the twins and this is even triplets. Here I cant even choose who is my favorite; all of them are cuteness overload. The Song triplets part is very recommended and sometimes I just watch the parts where they appear in the show xD
