People fear of dieting because they are afraid that they will have gastric. What many people doesn't know that if they do not practice balance diet soon, they may or will get these medical problem that connected to the health of our tummy:-

Gastrointestinal (dealing with stomach & intestines - sistem penghadam mcm perut, usus, dll)

-   Gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD, chronic symptom of mucosal damage caused by stomach acid coming up from the stomach into the esophagus. GERD caused heartburn, trouble swallowing, increased salivation, chest pain, nausea, etc. (Kerosakan/masalah pada membran mukosa, lapisan kulit dalam, yg disbbkn asid perut naik dari organ perut ke esofagus/kerongkong. GERD akan menyebbkn pedih ulu hati, kesukaran utk menelan, sakit dada, muntah2, dll. ) -       Fatty liver disease, or in this case, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD, occured when fat is deposited into the liver NOT due to excessive alcohol use. It is related to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.. (Masalah pembuangan lemak ke organ hati yg bukan dissbkn oleh penggunaan arak/minuman beralkohol yg berlabihan. Penyakit ini boleh dikaitkan kepada masalah kerintangan insulin and sindrom metabolisma.) -    Cholelithiasis or gallstones. The risks increases for females, especially before menopause. Caused by combination of factors including inherited body chemistry, body weight, gallbladder motility and perhaps diet. (Masalah batu karang ginjal. Risiko utk menghidap penyakit ini adalah lebih tinggi terhadap kaum wanita yg belum menopause/monopos. Penyakit ini adalah disbbkn penggabungan pelbagai faktor seperti reaksi kimia tubuh badan yg diturunkan dari ibubapa, berat badan, pemakanan dan pergerakan batu karang.)

When you see an obese person throwing their gut out in the toilet, don't get judgemental yet. It does not mean that they are being bulimic to get skinny. They might have GERD.

AND don't get assumption that obese people do not get gastric. I know that feeling when I say I got gastric, doubtful mocking eyes that say "YOU? Gastric? Didn't you eat enough?" staring at me like I was saying something ridiculous. 

For non Malaysian/Sabahan readers, I don't know if you use the same term, but please note that when a Sabahan says s/he is having gastric, it does not necessarily means s/he got an gastric ulcer. S/he is either saying s/he threw up gastric/stomach acid or severe gastric pain from a mucosal erosions. A Sabahan will insist that s/he is having gastric "only" and will never admit it is a gastric ulcer until s/he is admitted to the hospital for the illness. We are just awesome like that. *note the sarcasm*

Till next time, gorgeous!

Have you heard of the quote "What you eat is what you are"? 

I bet every heard and understand what it meant. 

But does anyone have any idea how food can effect your skin? 

Hah! Everybody knows that. We just don't practice it much.

So here are the medical problem what obesity can effect the biggest organ in human anatomy:-

Dermatology (dealing with skin problems - berkaitan dgn kulit)

-      Stretch mark or scarring of the skin caused to tearing of the dermis and due to rapid stretching of the skin with rapid growth or rapid weight changes. Will diminish overtime but do not completely dissapear. (kesan regangan atau kesan luka pada kulit yg disbbkan koyakkan pd lapisan dermis kulit yg juga diakibatkan regangan pesat pd kulit dengan pertumbuhan mendadak atau perubahan berat badan/kegemukan yg mendadak.) -    Acanthosis nigricans is a condition where the skin on body folds such as posterior and lateral folds of the neck, groin, forehead, etc formed a velvety hyperpigmentation     (Hyperpigmentasi kulit pd bahagian2 yg boleh membuat lipatan seperti leher, celah kangkang, dahi dll.) -     Lymphedema water retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system (penahanan cecair yg menyebabkan anggota badan yg terlalu ‘penat’ atau tidak diberi rehat secukupnya, bengkak) -     Cellulitis, not cellulite, localized or diffuse inflammation of connective tissue with severe inflammation of dermal and subdutaneous layers of the skin. (Selulitis, bukan selulit, keradangan pada kulit yg boleh disbbkan pergerakkan tubuh lalu menyebabkan penggeseran antara kulit.) -      Hirsutism, excessive hairiness on women, on parts hair does not normally occur like moustache and beard caused by the rising of androgens, the male hormones. There are evidence implicates high circulating level of insulin (where the body resist against it) on women with hirsutism. Experimental treatments that lower insulin levels lead to reduction in hirsutism. (satu kondisi yg kebykannya terjadi pd kaum hawa dimana bulu/rambut tumbuh di bahagian tubuh yg biasanya tidak berlaku seperti misai dan janggut. Terdpt satu kejian yg membuktikan, kandungan darah pd wanita yg menghidap hirsutism mengandungi jumlah insulin yg tinggi. Bila perubatan percubaan dgn mengurangkan kandungan insulin dilakukan terhadap wanita tersebut, sindrom hisutism berkurangan.) -       Intertrigo is an inflammation of the body fold by bacteria and fungal. (Kurap, Radang kulit di bahagian lipatan yg terjadi kerana jangkitan kuman & kulat)

I have not give birth to any child, but I already have stretch marks. Blame my gluttony!

DIET 101 - PART II : The Risks "Chapter 2.5"?

Bones are not only to help us to move around and about, we have bones because we need them to support our heavy muscles. Not to forget, bones like the rib-cage and skull are to protect the important but fragile organs like the brain, heart and the lungs. Oh! The bone marrow, soft flexible tissue on the heads of long bones like the femur, help us to produce red blood cells. 

So here what obesity can effect our bones:-

Rheumatology & Orthopedics (dealing with the joints & human musculoskeletal system - berkaitan dgn tulang lembut, ligamen tulang & tulang2)

-        Gout (Gaut) -        Poor mobility (pergerakan terhad/terganggu) -      Osteoarthritis normally affects older people where the joints wear out. There are suppose to be a layer of of surface of the joint but wear out due age and exposed the naked bone to rub against other naked bone. It cause stiffness, pain and may be swelling. Can be prevented with drinking calcium (Biasanya terjadi pada org tua dimana sendi terasa sakit/pedih/ngilu akibat keradangan ringan yg timbul akibat gesekan diantara ujung tulang penyusun sendi. Diantara tulang2 sendi bisanya terdapat satu lapisan rawan dan apabila meningkat umur, rawan tersebut menjadi nipis dan akhirnya hilang akan mengakibatkan masalah osteoartritis. Kondisi ini boleh dicegah dari awal dengan memperbanyakkan minum susu berkalsium tinggi) -      Low back pain, in this case, caused by extreme obese/huge belly and lack of exercises. (sakit pinggang disbbkan kegemukkan yg melampau/ perut buncit dan kurang bersenam.)

I have quite the problems when it comes to back pain when I was still an obese. That reminds me, everytime I consume foods with high Ajinomoto (monosodium glutamate), I'm not sure and haven't have any expert opinion on this but I think it is from the MSG, I got such terrible back pain that would spread to my feet and head. It annoys the hell out of me and decided to leave Ajinomoto for guesses food instead of mine. Hehe..

Next health risk in Obesity will follow right up after this. 

wink!

An Apology Post For You

Note: I am dedicating this post to a lovely friend, the ever beautiful Lala.

Ooopsie daisy! 

My dear friend, Lala, message me over the weekend saying how she waits for my weekly post of DIET 101 and I realize something, I FORGOT TO POST MY WEEKLY DIET 101 FOR LAST WEEK! 

Therefore, I would like to send my apology to all of you who have been waiting for it. 

I know I shouldn't have to mix up my apology with my excuse, but I must tell that I forgotten about it because I have problem with my computer. May be there is a virus or "kacau-ware" in my computer, so I had to transfer all of my things in my CPU memory into my external hard-drive. I was busy doing all those things, plus some works in the office and keep looking out on the Norikoh issue and plus nohohing nogi, lupa daaaa.....

Sorry, minta maaf, 对不起... 

And I am very flattered that Lala said I inspire her when it comes to dieting. I am always happy whenever people say or ask how I have lost my excessive weight. But being said to inspire someone, that gave a whole new feeling to me. It gave me new hope and quite flaming my determination. Thank you, Lala. Your message makes me want to keep blogging.

Since I forgotten to post the regarding post, I will post two of it on the same day this Friday. 

So please stay tune.
