Weak is the antonym of Strong

One of my friends used to tease me, "Unlike us, this girl is one healthy person." I would roll my eyes over and stare at her blankly while she continued to give out details of my routine and food intake. The only thing she did not realise is, my medical report scores a 'C'!

I do not take carbonated drinks except 100 PLUS.

From the statement above, I must have given out an impression of stick-thin girl who is thinking about how much calories I would have consumed for one tin of coke right? Well, I'm not. Basically, I'm banned from taking carbonated drinks due to Asthma.

After 15 years of intense medication, my condition has improved. Recalling those days could give some laughters. Do not get me wrong, it is not fun when you could feel the oxygen travel through the thicken bronchiole ( airway in lung), which reluctantly allow it to pass through and it hurts for every inhale. I was so near to stepping into the red-light zone, which was Bronchitis! As a result, I grew up with getting fond of really warm drinks day by day. Yes, I only take iced drinks once in a blue moon. As iced drinks are like icicles jabbing right into my lung.

Laughters filled the air when my mother commented, " In old times, people believed that swallowing a newborn door mouse is an elixir for asthma."

Due to my health state, I grew up with the do's and don'ts in my daily routine. I wanted to be stronger and happier. Eventually, I become a health-watcher myself. Having asthma is not the only reason that made me who I am today. I will disclose them when it is necessary as I would share my experiences and lessons on health through this blog.

Thank you for reading.
