Chiropractic .. cont..

Continue my discussion about chiropractic.. have you ever actually heard or known about this method of treatment? I just searched on wikipedia and this is what i found.

"Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative health care profession with the purpose of diagnosing and treating mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving health.^[1] It is based on the premise that a spinal joint dysfunction can interfere with the nervous system and result in many different conditions of diminished health. Some chiropractors use the term vertebral subluxation to describe what they treat. Others have dropped this concept and concentrate mostly on the musculoskeletal components of spinal injury and rehabilitation of the spine."

I do find it is helpful and beneficial for me.. a lot better than physiotherapy but it is not as effective as the one that i got from Dr. Huang. I've been having this knees problem since last July, and did pyhsio for almost 5 months with almost no result. Few months ago, my mom called and ask me to try chiro since her friend felt a lot better after one treatment.. so I did go, with one exception!! No adjustment to my necks b/c my friend told me somebody died after doing the neck adjustment. I was so scared to death that i didn't even mention to the doctor that i often had migraine/headache.. but he still could feel and know it anyway. so I gave it a try for neck adjustment, and actually... it wasn't that bad at all.

and now, i'm typing this blog, i realized that i almost never have headache anymore *knock on wood*, my digestion gets a lot better, my IBS only comes when i eat something that my stomach can't tolerate, my back pain almost goes away, and my knee pain only comes every so often..

But still.. it's not 100% gone away =( I hope i'll have a chance to see dr. Huang this year and see what will happen. I still love shoes especially high heels.. and maybe i won't be able to wear all my collections anymore. Hiks.. oh well.. that's fine. i would rather have pain-free knees than wearing high heels and getting more pains =p and i guess, girls/women still can look pretty with flats. hehehe.

One thought before heading to bed. which one would you choose? Brain or beauty? *i got this while having my breakfast at McD and they have this on their placemat. hehehe*

I'm sick of people who always judges someone by hers/his look! 

curious

It's just to answer my curiousity. Do you care about your daily food intakes? Like, you have to eat 4-5 servings of fruits and veggies, 2 servings of carbo, 4-5 servings of dairy, etc?

I'm just wondering.. because sometimes it's just hard for me to count everything that goes into my mouth. I know i should, especially for people deal with IBS , like me. I should eat more fibers than others, but still.. it's just not that easy. I think i can handle that for several days, and forget about it after. lol. And i don't even remember how many brochures about healthy eating that i've picked from the student health services. hahahaha.

Oh, speaking about dairy.. i don't i'll be able to eat/drink that much dairies. Drinking a glass of milk has already caused me enough trouble (reading: diarrhea), so i try switching regular milk to soymilk even though it doesn't have as much calsium as reg milk. But hey.. it's better than nothing at all right?

craving

I was filling up the bulletin board today and one of the question was:
"Kalau lagi bosen begini, enaknya MAKAN apa ya?"

and i was like... omigod.. i suddenly craved a lot of foods; actually, i love foods, i love eating, so there won't be any days without foods in my mind, especially when my PMS <pre-menstrual syndroms> comes.. it will be worse than usual.

Today, i craved eating @ Take sushi <the spicy beef soups; i don't know the korean name, but trust me it's really good> and lamb vindaloo/lamb jalfrezi/lamb biryani from Taste of India.. hoek.. wish i had much times so I could go there.

how about you? have you ever craved to eat something? or is it just me? do you crave more when you're having your PMS? or is it just me?
