Health

Recently, I've become more and more concerned about health issues. Maybe it's because of my loved ones health situations and so on. Just the other day, I came across 2 very interesting articles --

1. It's a miracle

A women in her vegetative state since November 2000 suddenly awakes for three days just last week or so. She told her loved ones that she is all well and even managed to see her grandchildren for the very first time. Doctors have not found any reasons why she could wake up after all those years. All they could tell the press now is that it's truly a miracle. The women's family members thanked God with no hesitation, to send her back every so often and tell them that she was fine. After the three days, the lady went back to her vegetative state again.

If every vegetative state patient could do the same, then this world would be a much happier place, don't you agree? Because what's worse than being alive like dead?

2. Anti-obesity program

Singapore plans to end its anti-obesity program in schools as parents complained that overweight children were being singled out and teased by classmates.

I find this very interesting because I've experienced this program myself when I was in Singapore. Everyone tried to keep fit not to get over weight because the PE teachers would weigh us every term. I'm lucky to have always been at the right weight for my height. Over weight students had to take a run around our school in the morning when we are reading in the Hall. Underweight students had to drink milk during our break times.

Every policy has it's advantages and disadvantages. Personally I like this programme. It's creating an incentive to keep fit fit fit!


Wishing everyone good health!
