Stroke Identification


My Mona Vie home business has been keeping me rather busy lately. The free enrollment for new distributors to join Mona Vie last month has been so overhelming that the promotion has to be extended till the end of this month, March.

I am very happy many people agree with me the meaning of true health.

True health is not just the absence of disease. It empowers our body to perform at their optimum level & thus cannot & must not be taken for granted. It must be guarded with upmost attention & care everyday of our life. That is the most effective way to avoid the degenerating disease & thus achieve the maximum no of years of active enjoyable living. Only by maintaining good health can we do what we want to do & need to do for ourselves & our loved ones. Everyday, not only are we starving ourselves of essential nutrients needed to maintain a healthy body , unknowingly, we are also putting alot of toxins into our body. So, we must immediately start looking at how we can effectively nourish our body & give it the opportunity to stay at its optimum level of wellness. We must not wait till health problem hit hard at home then begin looking for wonder drugs or supplements to treat the problem. Everyone must start to take charge of their health & of their loved one by investing early in their well being.

Now, Mona Vie brings you TRUE HEALTH, ALL IN A BOTTLE (Acai berries + 18 other types of fruits from the 4 corners on earth.

In line with my topic of good health today, I would like to share with you an article below written by my facebook friend, Franco Yong, a NLP Master Practitioner.

Blood Clots/Strokes - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator: the Tongue

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) she said she had 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 6:00 pm 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 and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

A Leisure Afternoon with my Ex-colleague





It was an impromptu appointment I have fixed with Janice to meet her at Novena Square. After going to Cold Storage to pick up some stuffs & snacks for James, we took a leisure walk to Newton Kindergarten to wait for him to be released from class.
Half an hour passed and Janice has to walk toward the place where teachers will only allow students to be accompanied by familiar people to leave the kindergarten together. That was the same routine & guideline my two children's teachers had to abide when they were once studying at St James' Kindergarten.
Janice waited for the traffic to ease a little before going to pick up her car at the basement to drive us back to her home at Bishan.
We continued with our chit chatting the whole afternoon over our cups of coffee in her house. James was such a nice little guy, leaving us alone to catch up with so many things. He would go play with his dog and his games.
Before leaving the house, I stood at her patio and noticed how badly her garden has been neglected. I would very much like to grow a box of creeping daisy, various colours of bouganvilleas. let the cypress vine climb on the divider wall railing. Janice likes gardening but does not have much idea of what she wanted to do with it. It's partly because she is also lack of time to manage her garden because her maid has left and she has yet to find herself a helper.



Look at James's trademark smile, his dimples.

Mummy's 69th Birthday Celebration



Birthdays celebration with a little twist this year. Mum always like to try something new. She will not tell me what's in her mind but I know her well enough by now, to throw her little surprises every now and then. How I wish my dad is still living and can enjoy all these little happy moments together with us.
Since my dad is no more with us, my mummy will have to receive what I have to offer to her in double portions.

Instead of a traditional 8 or 9 course dinner which is becoming rather monotonous these days, we had a quick fun raw fish "Lo Hei" and porridge at the famous Chen Jie hawker store at Chinatown Food Centre and followed by a nice treat for her at tcc (airport terminal 3) to blow out her birthday candle. That's a surprise birthday celebration for her, arranged by my dear husband.

An upsized plate of parang fish salad "Lo Hei" for only $24.00

Photobucket
A bowl of pipping hot "tan chai" porridge for $3. It has sliced fish, fried peanuts and cuttlefish with crispy crackers and spring onion sprinkled on it.
A good combination to go with the raw fish salad which my mummy enjoys thoroughly during the lunar new year festive season.
Surprisingly, such a simple and appetizing combination is not available in upmarket restaurants and hotels.

Since the store owner's crowning of the SuperMummy title 全能俏妈妈 organised in 2008 by MediaCorp, "Pretty Girl" directly translated from the dialect Cantonese, has seen a jump in her fame in the Chinatown Food Centre.

Photobucket
Tossing up and cheering on for good health, prosperity, harmony and happiness, all with God's grace.
