OMG I love this doctor

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.
Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't
waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up
your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can
extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?
Take a nap.


Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay
and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more
than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.
Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass
(green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your
recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.


Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit.. Brandy is distilled
wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get
even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain.
Bottoms up!


Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one.
If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.


Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular
exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is:
No Pain...Good!


Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these days in
vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting
more vegetables be bad for you?


Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the
middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You
should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.


Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the
best feel-good food around!


Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.


Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!


Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had
about food and diets.


And remember:
'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other -
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What
a Ride'

AND.....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on
nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those
conflicting nutritional studies..

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and
suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and
suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and
suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and
suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and
eat lots of sausages and fats and
suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

TRY 100PLUS & WATER - NOT PANADOL

Got this e-mail from my mother. Don't play play, we contact via msn and e-mail.

DON'T TAKE PANADOL or PANADOL ACTI FAST or PANADOL SOLUBLE ( ESP. PEOPLE HAVE GASTRIC).

FYI... One real story from a guy...

My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows some of the doctor quite well.

The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL). In fact,they will turn to Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives.

This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver. According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least 5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an incident where an air stewardess consumes a lot of panadol during her menstrual as she needs to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.

As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink ( eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100plus, one cup water.or 2 cups water).

Me and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and it seems to work well.

Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.

As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain).

We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go through childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer) when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general anesthetic to numb your surgical pain than the average person who seldom or rarely takes Panadol . If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps) it is very likely that normal general anesthetic will have no effects on you as your body is pumped full with panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine??

Good Information-on Signs of a Stroke

This is Good  Information!
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three  Letters... 

My friend sent  this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I  agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could  save some folks. Seriously.. Please read:
STROKE  IDENTIFICATION:
During a BB Q, a friend stumbled and took a  little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they  offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick  because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a  new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid  went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's  husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been  taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had  suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the  signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some  don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition  instead.
It only takes a minute to read  this...
A  neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3  hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally.  He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed,  and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours,  which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember  the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult  to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells  disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when  people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now  doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three  simple questions:
S   *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T  *Ask the person to  TALK . to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out  today)
R   *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
{NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask  the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is  'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an  indication of a stroke}
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these  tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the  dispatcher.
A  cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to  10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Bragging

People who boast have an inferiority complex. They try to increase their importance by lying about their achievements or what they can do. Skiting, boasting, name-dropping, big-noting oneself, and having a swelled head are other names for this vice.

People who have accomplished something don't have to boast. People who are not bothered about their position in the world don't see the need to brag. People who accept their position and status in the community realize it is fruitless to try to convince others of their superiority.

What kind of people, then, find it necessary to exaggerate their importance or achievements to all and sundry? Those people who feel inferior in some way. They lack self-esteem, self-respect, and self-love.

There are two kinds of self-love that we need to clarify here. One is positive and the other negative.

The positive self-love is loving oneself as Soul, a creation of God. We can love our inner self because it is flawless and faultless. It is a Spark of God.

Those who know this as truth know that to think of themselves as better or more important in any way than anyone else is denying what they know: that every other individual is also Soul and shares the same attributes, power, and love. They are all equal in the sight of God.

Negative Self-love

Negative self-love is vanity: the belief that the person is better in some way than any other individual.

It is a strange phenomenon that vanity gives rise to the inferiority complex that causes bragging. At one level the person believes in his superiority. But at a deeper level he knows that he is inferior in some ways to other people.

This causes uncertainty and the individual is in a state of imbalance a lot of the time. In the presence of other people he tries to prove his superiority, but when he is by him/herself he is plagued by the knowings that he can't live up to the image he assumes in public.

But he can't help him/herself. He must continue his charade or suffer public humiliation. Because his world is built on lies and he has become so accustomed to lying to him/herself and others, he can't bring him/herself to tell the truth about him/herself.

Disadvantages of Bragging

People tire very quickly of hearing someone talking about their achievements to anyone who is forced to listen to them. They remove themselves from the boaster's vicinity at the first opportunity.

The braggart makes few friends because new people he meets are targets for their real or imagined exploits. As soon as the prospective friend realizes that most of what is said is hot air, they beat a hasty retreat. So the braggart has few friends.

Handling Bragging

Bragging only occurs in those people in whom vanity is a major weakness. For most of us the problem is more how to handle a braggart rather than being a braggart ourselves.

The best method is to keep your distance from him/her. If you happen to be caught with him/her, you can excuse yourself and say that you are late for an important meeting and scurry off as soon as possible.

Although one would like to bring the braggart down to earth with cutting remarks about the truth of his/her claims, this would mean we are being caught up in his/her game. We become the victims of our own vanity and anger. Therefore, we won't be doing ourselves any favours. This anger and vanity will come back to cause us trouble some time in the future.

Silent Killers-Sweets To Avoid

Everybody saw WOW!!! You know why??? this e-mail is actually forwarded by my mom so don't play play :p

ASPARTAME - THE SILENT KILLER 

For those who take Ricola & Fisherman , please note that they both contain Aspartame - the silent killer.                                  

Fisherman Sweets 

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO EAT FISHERMAN SWEETS BE CAREFUL: Sugar free products contain ASPARTAME .. So don't consume Sugar free product esp.. 'fisherman sweets' ASPARTAME - THE SILENT KILLER (by Ron Harder)

To those who prefer to consume artificial flavouring:

There is an epidemic across North America today of Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. Most people do not understand why this epidemic is happening, and they do not know why these diseases are so rampant. I would like to share with you the main reason we are having this very serious problem. Many people today use artificial sweeteners in their tea or coffee.

They do this because the ads they see on TV tell them that sugar is bad for their health. This is absolutely true. Sugar is toxic to us , but what most people use as a replacement for sugar is much more deadly. I am talking about ASPARTAME. It is the cause of the epidemic that was mentioned above. ASPARTAME is an extremely toxic chemical that is produced by a chemical company called Monsanto.

ASPARTAME is being marketed around the world as a sugar substitute and is found in all diet soft drinks, such as Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. It is also found in artificial sweeteners such as NutraSweet, Equal, and Spoonful; and it is used in many other products as a sugar replacement. 

ASPARTAME is marketed as a diet product, but it is not a diet product at all. In fact, it will cause you to GAIN weight because it makes you crave carbohydrates. Causing you to gain weight is only a very small part of what ASPARTAME does. It is a toxic chemical that changes the brain's chemistry. It can and does cause severe seizures.

This chemical changes the dopamine level in the brain, and it is particularly deadly for anyone suffering from Parkinson's disease.

ASPARTAME is extremely poisonous, and here is why one of the toxic ingredients of it is wood alcohol. When the temperature of ASPARTAME exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in it is converted to Formaldehyde, and then to formic acid, which in turn causes folic acidosis.

FORMALDEHYDE is grouped in the same class of poisons as Cyanide and Arsenic which are very deadly toxins. The only difference is, Formaldehyde kills quietly, and it takes a little longer. And, in the process of killing people, it causes all kinds of neurological problems. There are 92 documented symptoms of Aspartame Poisoning leading to coma and death.
