For all ladies out there… If you think of getting the tight fitting push up bra think again! Tight bras will press on the breasts’ blood vessels that carry oxygen to the breast. It will deterred the blood flow and subsequently cut down the amount of oxygen to the breasts. Cancer doesn’t happen overnight and there’s always a contributing external factors at work and the bra could be one of them. Generally, ladies tend to favor tight bras versus comfort and the misconception that tighter bras gives better support or because they are shy about their sizes. So ladies, wear the correct bra size or go braless more often as a measure for cancer prevention.

If you must skip breakfast (of which is not recommended) think again! Considering the eight or nine hours since the last meal, your body to refuel. No petrol-no car => no breakfast-no energy. Get it? So pump up those vitamins and mineral enriched food you need for a good breakfast. You will definitely feel better and perform well during the day. Studies have shown people who eat breakfast have improved strength and endurance in the late morning with a more positive attitude towards their work. It doesn’t hurt to have a 10minute break in between too. You’ll find yourself recharged! So eat up your breakfast.

I started to recall over the past years’ encounter and like to share with you. You may even have heard about it or seen it but sometimes we may just tend to forget it over a period of time.

Some people (like me) reuse plastic water bottles for drinking and some carry few bottles in the car or at work at one time. Many are unaware of poisoning caused by reusing plastic bottles and some swear it is really handy to bring them around. Recently the Health Department has issued a warning to the public to stop reusing. Instead they recommended to recycle it. Why? The plastic component (called polyethylene terephthalate or PET) used in disposable mineral water contains a potentially carcinogenic element that is harmful to our body and worst, may even kill us in a matter of time. The bottles are only meant for one-time use only and if you must keep them longer, it should then be no longer than a few days or away from heat. Repeated washing and rinsing can cause the plastic to breakdown and cancer causing chemical agents can leach into the water. However, studies show that the main threat to your health is not from rinsing the bottles and the bottles with wide openings that allow you to clean is specifically designed for extended reuse. Use or not to use? I am sure you will think about it. Use your own judgment wisely!
