Being women, we are blessed with the ability to give life. 
But with this ability comes with the monthly “hassle” - menstrual cycle. With it, comes the hormonal changes that often wreck our emotions as well.
During our menstrual cycle, it is advised that we rest! DUH… however, I have noticed that many women ( including me… guilty as charged sometimes ) are still going for tough yoga classes. However, I do notice that doing some easy yoga like restorative yoga and certain light hatha yoga is very helpful in keeping those cramps at bay as well as helping me feel less uneasy on the tummy.

Yesterday I felt really terrible.. tired, stuffy nose, slight cough and extremely “heaty” or what the Chinese doctor would say if you have heatiness in your body. In the Chinese medicine, you always have the “yin” ( cold or female ) and the “yang” ( heat or male ). To be in perfect health, you’ll need to balance this yin and yang in your body. When one side is too heavy, like me, ate too much “heaty” food like fried stuff or stealing spoonfuls of chunky peanut butter at night or sleep very late at night, you tend to develop heatiness in your body. ( note: I am no chinese doctor but these are common knowledge that every chinese knows… I think.. )
How many days has it being since I become vegetarian? I really lost count…
Ok, I admit it. I took a little meat here and there. Had another piece of fish cake. And a fish burger. The day before, I ate chicken rice. 
But I also resisted 6 pieces of tempting chicken nuggets. Sometimes when you are outside, it is very hard not to eat meat at food stalls and fast food joints. Like yesterday, I was staring at the McDonald’s menu. I think there is no full meal that is vegetarian. Sure you can eat the fries, the side salad, desserts ( apple pie, ice cream, apple dips ) but why no veggie burger? Burger King is no better either. Maybe you can eat the onion rings.
Watch this and see if you still wanna eat them…. GROSSSSS OUT….
Fast food anyone? This is the best way to wean me off fast food…
