hand-foot-mouth?!?

Can u image there is a disease called Hand-foot-mouth? well. i had never heard of it until my son got it! with a kid, you learn something new everyday.

What is hand, foot and mouth disease? Hand, foot and mouth disease is a viral infection caused by a strain of Coxsackie virus. It causes a blister-like rash that, as the name implies, involves the hands, feet and mouth. (Hand, foot and mouth disease is different than foot-and-mouth disease, which is an infection of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and deer and is caused by a different virus.)

Who gets hand, foot and mouth disease? Usually this occurs in children under 10 years old, but occasionally can occur in young adults.

How is it spread? The virus is spread by direct contact with nose and throat discharges, blisters and feces of infected people.

What are the symptoms and when do they start? Symptoms of fever, poor appetite, runny nose and sore throat can appear three to five days after exposure. A blister-like rash on the hands, feet and in the mouth usually develops one to two days after the initial symptoms.

When and how long can someone spread the disease? A person is contagious when the first symptoms appear and may continue until the blister-like skin lesions disappear. The virus has been known to be shed in the stool for up to several weeks.

How is hand, foot and mouth disease diagnosed? The diagnosis is generally suspected on the appearance of blister-like rash on hands and feet and mouth in a child with a mild febrile illness. Although specific viral tests are available to confirm the diagnosis, they are rarely performed due to expense and length of time needed to complete the tests.

Does a prior infection with Coxsackie virus make a person immune? Specific immunity can occur, but a second episode is possible from a different strain of Coxsackie virus.

What is the treatment? There is no specific treatment. Treatment is aimed at fever control and maintaining good oral hydration.

Can there be complications associated with hand, foot and mouth disease? The illness is typically mild, complications are rare. More serious infections have been seen recently with a certain strain of Coxsackie viral infection in Indonesia.

What can be done to prevent the spread of this disease? Children who feel ill or have a fever should be excluded from group settings until the fever is gone and the child feels well. Thorough hand washing and care with diaper changing practices is important as well.

popular banana diet from Japan

He says that the calories of 1 bowl of rice = 3 bananas, and bananas have lots of nutrients like vitamin C and potassium. So he suggests people that wanna lose weight to replace rice/pasta/bread with 1 or 2 bananas in the biggest meal or oiliest meal of the day. That way we can save some calories and get full faster. bananas can make us feel fuller, and also has this anti-depressant effect (like chocolates). People tend to feel miserable while dieting, so I guess that's why? Plus we still need carbo in our diet, omitting carbo entirely is bad.

super diet super plan - part 2

After my 1st official call of my super diet, I looked in details how this Dukan Diet works, realizing it might not be the best weight losing formula for me... first the fact that i cannot eat fruits for months .... this is a big CANNOT for me. 2nd, MEAT all the time, i really prefer veggies! plus my friend TITI was telling me that i can gain back very easily after the diet as many of his friends did! So now i really start to have doubts with this diet, although it is very tempting, u can loss all these weight in such a short time, but it seems not too healthy, cos during this diet, u cannot do exercise, u must take vitamin supplements cos u cannot eat fruit at all....etc. So i start looking up some other types of diet for weight losing. there are Antioxidant Diet, low-carb diet, Atkins Diet, blood type diet and MORE. They all have their + and -. So i have a new plan. I am going to design my own super diet. My aim to lose my 10kg by combining all the best part of all these diet and make something that i am really convinced to follow. i am working on it....i will post my diet plan asap! I am still going to start my DIET on monday. to be continue...

one of my super plans - super diet

Hi everyone, i am making an official call. I am starting my diet from the 16th of November. My objective is to lose 10kg, and these are the reasons why i would like to lose that extre 10 in my body:

1. it will be the frist day of my new life. byebye to my old job and want to feel completely NEW

2. want to have a new silhouette, and be able to fit into all those clothes that i always wanted to wear.

3. starting my new job(working at home, for myself), want to look good for my new co-worker. my honey!

4. want to feel healthier and less junky. (promise i will start to do some excerise as well)

5. going back home(HK) soon to see my family, and i know i will gain a little then, so must lose some in advance

6. just in case i get pregnant again oneday, i don't want to feel that heavy this time (well...i gain 25kg on my last pregancy and it took me a year to lose 20 kg...without a diet, and i still have that extre 5kg !!!)

7. to challenge myself with a tough task like this one. be able to refuse temptations, it is a good training of self discipline! TRUST Me! it will be tough for me. anyone know me would know i am the most "love eating" person in the world!!!!

Many ppl told me that i am not fat enough to do a diet .....but i think 7 reasons are good enough. So I am going to use the Dukan Diet in english/french. It is a tough one. but i had friends who had lost a lot of weight and feeling healthier ever after. So my plan is to confess my diet on this blog, so every one of you would be my weight watcher!

byebye double chin!!! hahaha
