I do enjoy stuff like char kwai teow and nasi lemak and hokkien mee once in a while - in moderation, of course! Yummy ...<br /><br />I have friends who are smokers. No, the gory pictures have no effect on them, they said. They know smoking is bad, but can't give it up somehow. One said she managed to forget the ciggies while on holiday with her family, but started puffing away on her way to the office after she came back from holiday. There are true stories of people who managed to kick the habit after a stroke or heart attack or major near death situations. I guess some might not be so lucky.<br /><br />On cutting sugar intake - there are people who resort to artificial sugar. Do you think they are harmful?

He has diabetes.<br /><br />But then my dad is 69. Coincidentally, I have been wondering whether his present kidney deteriorating was brought on by the weakness of his other organs or a problem on its own... and whether it could have been detected earlier since he has had issues with urination for years. But the body is also aging naturally. <br /><br />So many of his symptoms overlap.Yvonne Foonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908132837504150283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29609470.post-18552920184990964072010-10-03T00:12:55.524+08:002010-10-03T00:12:55.524+08:00Medie,
