Please read on: Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR: The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding. However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water. It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- ------- PLEASE PASS TO YOUR FRIENDS!

The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks: · Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting, · Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. · You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. · Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. · 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. · Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.......

Another natural disaster or they say that it's an arson attack that devastated the state of Victoria in Australia. I live in in the state of Queensland and we maybe thousands of kilometres away but we share the tragedy and loss of the victims.
On 3 occasions we witnessed Chinese New Year celebrations in Hongkong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. It's very colourful, noisy, crowded and joyous in Chinatown. Food of unimaginable kinds abound the streets. Reds and Golds dominate the colours and the golds specially are shimmering. Firecrackers are exploded, usually after a chinese parade of dancing dragons in colourful trimmings. Chinese girls dancing and a show of martial arts exhibition are also featured in various locations. It's their answer to our Christmas and New Year.
I was late to work today because I got stuck watching the highlights of the inauguration of newly elected president of the USA, Barack Obama on TV. Apparently there were about 2 million people who attended the event. The National Mall was full and DC was just overflowing with people. Must have been the most attended inauguration ever.
