Nature's medicine

FOOD consumption isn't as simple as we often think it is. Hey it's 1230pm, let's have lunch, scroll through 'foodpanda' app, what makes our eyes happy, that shall go in our stomach. This is how it works these days. Before covid, drive with your colleague till either of you finds an inspiration to decide where to eat. On luckier day, cravings already made us decide it earlier. 

Well, mother nature is kind, as well as genius. We human, often realizes it late. From nature we emerge, so the medicine lies in nature too, via the food we consume. I've come across several articles & readings that helped me to get better understanding about how does the food we consume affects our daily activities such as working, sleeping, thinking habits including food digestions. Have you ever noticed, on any day you feeling sad or bitter, you will not feel hunger either. It is not just the feel of grief diverted your mind to a state where sense of hunger should not be prioritized, but also activates sad emotions that even when someone places a favorite food in front of us. We still might hesitate to eat it. Food that we consume, can heal us, and can make us sick too, if it is eaten without proper knowledge on its very own benefits. 

Similarly, in order make our digestive system works like a clear tunnel, combining different sources of food is very crucial. Eg, iron+protein source will make our body absorb source effectively rather than consuming iron source foods alone.

Road to Herd Immunity - Aug 2021

Officially done with second dose of Pfizer week ago. Mild side effects as hand pain for couples of days, body aches, dizziness & slightly nauseated.

Initially I was one of those individuals who opposed the idea of vaccination as multiple news source were reporting the effects of death after vaccination all over the world. I mean, this is my body, I get to decide what goes in to it, right? YET, years...for years literally. 

I didn't doubt the fast foods I was consuming, 

I didn't doubt the chemicals I was drinking,

I didn't doubt any bad stuffs that I've taken into my body as solid foods or liquids.

All those wasn't just harmful for my body, in long term it might turn me a patient to certain disease. I've never questioned the unhealthy way that I'm living and my diet styles as I did this year.  

And here, our government is only doing us a favor to curb the Covis-19 virus by initiating the vaccination program. I registered into MySejahtera app on end of February 2021, and called out in July for the first dose. Almost 5 months of wait it was.👀 As a responsible citizen, I have done my part, do yours responsibly. Get good rest, eat good foods. Stay safe. We shall pass this difficult phase soon.💪 

The bloody damn chain! C-19

Seconds becoming minutes,

Minutes to hours,

Hours to days,

Days to months,

Months to a year and half. 

This is our clock journey once COVID-19 was disclosed into air.

First ever lockdown was announced - 18th March 2020, Malaysia - (MCO-Movement Control Order).

As much as lives' being killed, dreams was being buried together.

And border closures suddenly became a positive news worldwide. 

Passports being left aside, locked in closets,

Till this day, dusted, and kept safely. With nothing, but HOPE.

Home is where the heart is. Yes! Indeed. 

Yet, home all day literally doesn't carve a pathway for productive day. Stay home Stay safe they say. Yet do they do the same? "They"?!

Sources went limited, food, family, close contacts, a friendly gesture of smile more than a minute considered deadly. 

We used to have sudden meet-ups, gatherings, celebrations, cheer in crowd, multiracial festive celebration visits together....

Strangers was welcomed home warm-heatedly, treated like family,

And now, we fix appointments for weekend conference calls, video calls, skype gathering, zoom-dinner celebrations (even though it does not make ANY sense).

Today, families are avoided as though they are strangers. So one would not be entangled with the chain. The bloody damn chain of Covid-19!!!

In between these 4 walls, does it get any better? Well well, lets have some gratitude. 

Some... are sleeping covered with layers of road dirt and in harmful smuts. Answering the question, life will be better. It will...for raindrops can be saved for days ahead.

As much as difficulty in breathing that we encounter, life was merely about SURVIVING and not verily LIVING.

Surviving merely matters! This damn chain, causing more demise in soul than body. 

I do wish for miracle to... Wake us all up. 

When this disastrous disease will have its epilogue, WHEN.?!",

Day when i actually felt I need a break. Going to work & back home. Repetitive routine can drain you man..
