Touching Heaven, Changing Earth

I was doing some research about soy because we are thinking to let Angel drink soy milk instead of cow milk. I’m looking for soy goodness and whether it is nutritious enough for Angel.

Then to my surprise, I found more bad news than good news!

Soy can danger our health…

• High levels of phytic acid in soy can reduce calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. High phytate diets can caused growth in children.
• Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion cause pancreatic disorders.
• Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women.
• Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.
• Vitamin B12 in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body requirement for B12.
• Soy foods increase the body’s requirement for Vitamin D.
• Fragile protein are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein.
• Soy foods contains high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys.

A lot of people says that soy is a magic food but in fact it is not. All the informations that I found clearly stated that soy is not good for our health.

I believe whatever we consume, it need to be a balance diet.

So will I still drink soy milk? NO!

Will I give Angel soy milk? NO! I’ll stick to breastmilk.

I remember when I was 10 years old, dad got me a black colour bicycle. Every evening after playing cooking and baking with some friends, I will hurry to my bicycle, cycle around the neighbourhoods. I enjoy looking at different houses, curious with their home decoration and their pot plants.

Everyday, I will also cycle to pick up my little brother from kindergarten then I will bring him around the neighbourhood and also show him some stunt. Got one time, I paddle so fast at a cornering, my poor brother fall into a drain! Heehee. I am so terrible and another time, I was trying to paddle with my hands off the steering, due to my silliness, I bang into our neighbour car!

After all the incidents, I still like my bicycle and I still do the stunts without letting mom know. Dad bought us another one and total we have 2 bicycles to show off. I’ll never forget my childhood.

I am not a person that likes to wear heavy necklace, bracelet or nose ring but I do collect creative and colourful earrings. Some of the earrings I bought it from the places that I travelled and some are from the street market. I am allergy to gold so no gold for me. Well, if you like to collect different kind of earrings; you can get beautiful and cheap Swarovski earrings from a wholesale fashion jewelry.

What can a person behave when they are having menopause? I’ve seen some that behave rudely and some are nice. This kind of midlife experience is something that I can’t imagine and hope that when the time comes, I will still be the usual self, the friendly and bubbly type of girl. I think my mother-in-law is having her menopause because she behaves strangely but I will never understand this kind of menstrual cycle.

If you too are going through menstrual cycle, you can get your product like progesterone cream at ultrapms.com and let us not to worry much of this cycle; after all it is the nature of it.
