Monday 29th of Nov - Warrior Diet

I had been listening to this book for a few days now. Diet was my major concern as I need all the nutrients to recover from the condition. It was obvious that I was lacking in some nerve building nutrients as the Dr. Rhamani prescribed Neurogen-E for me. Apparently some of this vitamin B has to be ingested daily to keep the nerve healthy. That was the reason why I have to get acquainted with Diet and the nutrients I need. I had increased my intake of Vitamin B by having more beef and fish. That was quite a deviation from my Ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet. Some adjustment to get well first. Survive.

Warrior Diet was a revert to a highly combative, alert body condition. It promotes a single meal a day, at the end of the day. The author, Ori Hofmekler, researched and adopted this extreme diet to keep the body alert, hunger keeps the body in full alertness. He believed that a hungry body kept the mind in full alertness, in a fight/flight condition. The full meal in the evening ensure that enough food and rest will rebuild the body and ready it when day break. One thing he did mentioned was exercise and diet goes hand in hand. Oh, he advised that one should cook his own food too. 

In it, again, parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system was elaborated. Parasympathetic handles routing bodily function and the sympathetic handles stress related function such as facing enemy in the war. Both this system much be balanced and trained to ensure that the body is healthy. Perhaps, it was similar to the idea of Ying and Yang, the duality of all material things in this world. So possibly I need to balance both, to keep my system healthy.

Thirty Eight -- A break from the routine

Image
I had decided that Sunday to be dedicated to my other pleasure, photography. The routine of everyday can take a rest. I went out early to photograph birds and nature. Bishan Park, my favourite site, was looking warm and welcoming. Already many people were there, some running, some cycling, some walking and a few photographing with heavy, huge, camouflaged lens. I admired their strength and endurance to haul the weight and held them up to chase after that split moment. The lens and camera are expensive too. I used a bridge camera that is light in weight and my pocket. I hardly felt the prickling during bird hunting, perhaps I was too engrossed, or it was really so. I took all my meal at home and shuttled to the garden again after my breakfast and lunch. It was amazing to watch the bird going by their beings. Finally after two months, I was back to my routine, photographing. Birds are always alert, conscious of their environment and ever ready to take the flight of fright. I had learned ...

Twenty-Third day — reading cursive writing

Image
We went out for morning exercise at 7am. I walked at a slower pace, did about 3500 steps, then wind down with BaDuanJin. There were still some prickling at the tongue while I was walking. Q We saw the Flamed Back Woodpecker, hopping and scanning the bark of the tree trunk. Beautifully lighted in the golden light. She photographed, while I continued my walk. There were many kind park users who love to collect the crust of bread and spread them on selected grass patch, disregarding the no-feeding sign or the regulation. Previously I ever saw a beautiful yellow Oriole choked on the piece of bread. The Myna and the pigeon, mostly the black and grey bird know how to break it down before swallowing them. A proliferation of Myna and Pigeon can impact on the population of other birds population that are necessary for an ecologically balanced nature. Beauty is perhaps the only possible measure of that balance.  I always believe in sharing food with birds or animals but not the wrong kind of...
