Confusing Intakes

Who doesn't want to be healthy? Pingin banget dongz! I believe that healthy living will give us a long term investment. Buat apa tajir kalo jadi pengunjung tetap rumah sakit? ya gak? ya gak?

With that in mind, I manage myself and my family to have a healthy living: exercise regularly, no alcohol, no smoking *really???*, no fattening food, no eating kambing *yeah, you wish!*, no gorengan, etc.

But it seems that I will never get enough to be healthy especially after reading terrifying articles on women magazines that talk about breast cancer, osteoporosis, kista, kanker leher rahim, asam urat, etc, etc.

Every morning I have confusing breakfasts where at one side, I have several items in front of me ready to be consumed: Calsium tablet (untuk tulang), Vitamin C (tablet), another Vitamin C (Redoxon), Low fat milk and Sangobion (to increase low blood pressure). At the other side, I don't feel I want to take them all because it could spoiled my kidney; otherwise I drink glasses of water which it can bloat my tummy *weleh weleh, serba salah deh ahh...*

Belum lagi jeung... anjuran makan sayur and buah2xan. An expert said that we have to take 6-8 portion of veggie+fruits everyday which one portion of veggie equals to one banana. Meaning, do I have to eat like 6-8 bananas everyday? Kagak sanggup mpok! *tapi gimana ya... kekurangan serat bisa menyebabkan kanker usus 'cenah'*. Aduhhhh.... pusing!

Apa kabar dengan makanan favorit gue dong??? Mie ayam, arem-arem, ice cream, kue lebaran, opor, lontong sayur, es teler, french fries with mayo.... *the long list goes*

I was thinking that at the end of the day, my life wouldn't be any healthier if my mind is always worried of such things. Happiness is also one of the key ingredients to be healthy *sehat jasmani rohani kata jaman Orba dulu*. So mendingan gue enjoy aja kan ... keep everything in portion and don't be too extreme. Ya kan? ya kan?

A perfect advise came somewhere around mid last year in one of the well-known Spa in South Jakarta. It was from my natural holistic healer who encouraged me to have a balance of mind, body and spirit. I buy it, bro!

I was so proud that I could undergo the fasting month almost entirely. And this month, my period was only lasted 5 days (usually 8-9 days). Yippeee! But last night I forgot to tell my hubby that I would started fasting again today; as a result, aye kagak dibangunin pas sahur!!!

Claiming myself as a superwoman, I thought it's not a problem at all to do fasting without sahur. I just forgot that I have low blood pressure and it's always "kumat" every month after period. Furthermore, I just rememberd that today, early in the morning, my daughter's babysitter also went for holiday for 2 weeks. Can you imagine, I was chasing my daughter to finish her food, take a shower and begging her to get out of her bathtub as she's been there for almost an hour? What made her out was that when she screamed looking at her wrinkled fingers "Mama.... look, what happened with my fingers????". Kelamaan di air gitu lhoooo!

3 PM. Gue gengsi mau buka puasa padahal udah migraine beratz. Btw, do you know what happen when my migraine strikes?
- Masuk angin
- Kedinginan
- Tense shoulder and neck
- Paralized (kagak bisa ngapa2xin, liat cahaya aja pusing, denger suara kecil aja udah nggeliyeng)

Do you know what I will do then?
- Pake balsem banyak2x
- Wear syal/pashmina to cover my neck
- Wear socks
- Wear jacket/sweater
- Pony tail
- Sleeping
- Cover my body with warm blanket
- Finding a person who want to massage my back *the hardest part!*

Udah kayak nenek2x kan? However.... inspired by the strength of powerpuff girl ('paan seeeh), akhirnya gue berhasil untuk TIDAK BATAL PUASA!!!!
