Back to teenage Menses

Before you proceed to read this, let me first warn you that this might be a bit too disgusting (for those who do not like to talk, think, go through) menses. During the School and college/university days, my mensus were always very painful, heavy, irritating and I dread to get it. I used to call it the same term everyone calls it (in school it was grandma's in town) and in University it was (the Red's are playing at home).For the whole 8 days(!), I would not be myself, and I sleep with double layer protection (ie, I will wear my bikini shorts over my knickers) and then my pyjamas and I will have to put a layer of protection on the bed (as the bedsheets have turn red a couple of times). I guess I have always had a lot of blood. Even after I gave birth, the my menses cycle started almost immediately (after the 2 months confinement), even though I was fully breastfeeding until my baby was 10 months old). Info on period during breastfeeding As I 'aged' (ie if I remember correctly, since I touched 26), my menses were not as painful or as heavy. The headaches were a lot worse though. But I didnt complain, as the number of days I would be having it were down to 5 days and I did not have to wear my bikini shorts to sleep. As I am writing this, it is actually my first cycle since I took the vitamins. And it's good and bad. The good thing is, the anti aging theory is proven for me. I got my menses full on heavy, complete with the cramps and the bedsheet did turn red for 2 nights. I have forgotten how irritating it was, but I remember how happy I was to actually have it 'out'. Since I am writing this only on the 3rd day, it's not safe (yet) for me to say that it's exactly like how it was before i "aged". But...we shall see... I now have a new term for it..I will be calling it 'Teenage menses' if I have it for 8 days (like before).

The scientist...

It's all about the science,it always is with me... Sometimes my sister thinks I'm such a boring person to talk to. More like a confused child. :) Anyway, as mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I did my research before going into this... And I like what I read... Today, it's about him. Article below was gotten from one of the websites which shared about him when he wrote "The aging myth", a NY best seller. Joseph Chang, Ph.D., has published numerous peer-reviewed articles, reviews and books on pharmacological and nutritional research during his 18 years in the healthcare industry. He co-edited a textbook on inflammation and developed a series of monographs on botanical products to serve as a source of information for consumers and health professionals. From 1981 to 2006, Dr. Chang s dynamic career path included working for major pharmaceutical companies conducting groundbreaking research and developing therapeutic drugs for several life threatening diseases. During this time, he became convinced that focusing on nutrition and optimal supplementation could benefit the lives of more people. Dr. Chang attended Portsmouth University in England, and earned his doctorate in pharmacology at the University of London. He completed his post-doctoral fellowship at The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health.

Stamina Story

I was an active person growing up. Even after I got married, I was still doing adults ballet and jazz. But, I was never, I repeat, Never, a gym person or one that would make sure to get enough exercise weekly for the benefit of ones heart. I just went for the dance classes to dance and would jump for any challenge given by the office for fun.
Anyhow, 4 years ago, after I delivered my baby, I was trying from Atkins diet to starving myself. Nothing really worked. I was told that our body simply changes. From a small framed person, I am suddenly known to be one who has BIG frame. Anyway, last September, I had mild chest pains. I thought I was having heart attack or some heart problem. I went to the doctors and had a full body check up. Complete with the X-ray and stress test. I had to wait for a couple of days for the results. That was when I decided to start doing exercise. And my last ciggaratte was on the 18th September. (I remember the date because my last ciggarate was with my lunch date my friend Ida (who is also in my team in this business now) :) That week was when I decided to start on a healthy regime. Even when the results came out normal and clear from anything I was afraid off, I kept my word. I was doing 20 minutes a day exercise (I started with going up and down the stairs 20 times --> 360 steps). I then moved to 20 minutes at the gym at lunch time to run on the treadmill. Then I moved on to 3km in 20 minutes. Over the months, I was doing 4km in 34 minutes and then 5 km in 42 minutes.But all the exercise would make me feel like I'm about to collapse and *pengsan. And if I did a 5 km, I would not exercise the next day. I would be far too tired. 2 weeks ago, I did 5 km NON STOP. And I could do 5 km straight for 2 days. This week, I could do 40 minutes exercise, and then afterwards climbing up and down the stairs of a total 1800 stairs(!) And the best part is, I was just panting, nothing major like the collapse feeling... Try it... its made of all natural blend from Grape seed, orange fruit and brocolli extract for the night vitamin, and Cordyceps Mushroom, Promogranate Fruit extract and Ginseng Root extract. It's a product that target aging at its source, helps you feel more vibrant, helps you increase workout stamina by 60%(!)...I also like the fact that it detoxify and purify your body at the cellular level.. You will have your own story to tell. And once you do, you will be able to build your business in this too...
