Fulbright's conference on innovation in health and wellness for the 21st century

What an enlightening 2-day conference it was.We had prominent specialists from John Hopkins' Uni, Uni of Pittsburgh and local neurosurgeons.Dato Raymond was a real delight on sleep disorder.Kelakar giler dia ni rupanya.Spoke of a case in which a lesion was removed and the patient was cured from an extreme sleeping disorder.But dia jadi lain mcm after the surgery ( hyper-sexed - dok menge-text doctors with sexy messages.What an after effect!)

On the right amount of sleep: 6 hours for adults.But you can break into 2:3+3 if you are so busy.We must qada our sleep.Best time to sleep is before 12 and we need 3 solid hours from 12 midnite to 3 am sleeping cos' this is the time the body starts repairing itself.That 3 hours is a must.

I've tried it for a couple of days..rasa less tired.

On fasting: fasting detoxifies so start doing your puasa sunat Monday and Thursday cos' it's wajib we take care of our body kerana Allah. Allowing us to harm it is berdosa.Respect the body and stop abusing it.Most importantly, we eat right at breaking of fast.I ate very little yesterday and I got up this morning feeling so light.

On exercising: you have to do this on a regular basis 4-5 times a week for 30-40 minutes.You'd need to diversify your exercises..need to tighten up those muscles, work on the cardio etc.Talk to your doc to know what is safe.

On nutrition: no soda drinks, sweetened ones, no coffee or tea.You'd need your carbo as your base but more fruits and veges than refined flour, chemicalised salt (the ones we bought in the hypermarket are chemicalised...buy cooking salt).

On DNA test: you can do it at some hospitals here and find out  what kind of diseases or illnesses you are prone to so the docs could advise you better.Fee is as much as your smart phone.

On stem cells: They will keep you outa pain.A couple of friends had done it for their hips and athritis problems.Fee: as much as your car.
