Do air filters really work?

specky — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:13:37 +0000

What do you think? Do you think having an air filter at home really helps the quality of air in the home and therefore you end up being healthier? There seems to be more and more innovative air filter products coming into the market and some have gone so hi-tech that I wonder if the functions are really practical and more importantly, whether the functions are truly as beneficial as what they are sold to be.

What is your opinion?

Good shoes take you a long way

specky — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:53:38 +0000

I’ve always believed in buying good shoes as they take you a long way. It helps to save your back and posture if nothing else. Walking properly and comfortably plays a big role in helping us stay healthy physically, so don’t take things likely, and not with shoes especially. That’s why I will not hesitate to splash money on comfy shoes even though they don’t look good. How about you?

But there are some shoes which are comfy and pretty, although a bit hard to find. What do you think of Christian Louboutin shoes? I’ve only recently learned of them and they do cost quite a lot. The designs look pretty nice to me, and for that kind of money, I assume they are good walking shoes. But I could be wrong, do enlighten me if you know better

Meanwhile, I shall keep an eye out for more comfortable high heeled shoes as I wear them most often and I definitely want to walk comfortably and heathily in them.

Just how dangerous can mobile phones be?

Have you read enough scary stories of just how dangerous cell phones can be? I believe in them as I think there certainly are some truths in what have been written.

The frequency and radiation that the phones remit can be harmful and I personally keep my phones far from my kid. I also make sure I don’t use the phone when at petrol kiosks due to the many stories I read about how the phones exploded or caught fire from the flames.

Do you believe in these articles that are widely circulated via email? I certainly do. It’s no harm to take heed and be careful even if you think it’s unlikely to cause that much harm. It’s more important to keep healthy and safe than to be ignorant and worse still, a total disbeliever.

Whatever you do, go for moderation

specky — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:18:19 +0000

I always believe in doing things in moderation, whether it’s about eating, spending money, doing some activities, etc. Life can only be better if we practise moderation. I’m not one who will advocate extremity. Maybe it’s because I’m not the extremely aggressive type of person who will go all out to do something no matter what it takes.

But having said that, maybe some things cannot be done in moderation, like a career charge. For that purpose, I might do more but I still believe everything must be done rightly without causing disruptions to one self as well as others.

How about you? Do you go all out for things that you really want to achieve? For example, would you go for Lipofuze to lose those unwanted fats, splash all that hard earned money on a brand new sports car for the status it carries, bend yourself backwards in sports just to win the game, etc?

You might want to think how important those things really are before you try yourself out too thin…

A good mattress is vital for your back

specky — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:19:36 +0000

Do you know that sleeping on a suitable mattress can do wonders for your back? We spend so much time sleeping everyday, we should really get a good and comfortable mattress that helps support the back as well. A lot of people suffer from backaches without really knowing the reasons. Their mattresses is one part of the factor that could contribute to the problem.

When looking for a mattress, do consult the advise of the expert in this field. I used to think soft mattresses which provide a lot of cushion and comfort are good. But I found that too soft mattresses actually aren’t good for the back. Too hard ones are also not good solutions, so it’s always best to consult people who are in this business.

We bought one a few years ago. It did cost quite a lot but I’m glad we paid the price because it is a rather good mattress and is very lasting too. So invest in one to help achieve better physical health, especially for your back!
