Khor Kian Beng & Tan Hooi Chuen’s Wedding

One of my friends, Mr Khor Kian Beng (I usually called him Bakia) was celebrating his wedding dinner with his lovely wife, Miss Tan Hooi Chuen at ‘Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Kim Sen, Bukit Mertajam, Penang’ on Sunday, 23rd November 2008 at 7:30pm (corresponding to the 26th day of the Chinese 10th moon). This school is my primary school when I was a kid.
Everyone was happy on that day especially the bride when the bridegroom sang the song to his wife on the stage to thank her and his family for giving him a lot of support and love all the times. Before going back, we have a change to take a photo with the bride and groom. Bakia, wish you have a happy family!

Fibre Can Help You Lose Weight Easily

Find out how you can easily lose weight with fibre foods. FIBRE is the portion of foods that does not break down when passing through the digestive tract. Since these substances have a such a large impact on overall health, individuals are encouraged to eat fibre-rich foods. Fibre is known to lower the risk factor for diseases such as colorectal cancers, gallstones, diabetes, breast cancer and heart disease, among others.

There are two types of FIBRE – soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre dissolves during digestion and creates a gel-like substance that protects the intire digestive tract from absorbing various substances.Insoluble fibre enters and exits the digestive tract without being significantly altered. It also absorbs water and, as a result, prevents constipation and aids regular waste elimination.

Research has shown that insoluble fibre lowers the risk for breast cancer by combining with estrogen through digestion and thus resucing the livel of estrogen in the body. Some sources of insoluble fibre are wheat, beans, bran, figs and artichokes.

A major advantage of a high-fibre diet is the effect on weight control. Studies have shown that the majority of seriously overwieght people have diets low in foods containing fibre. Since fibre-rich foods are filling and, for the most part, low in fat, individuals are satisfied with less food and lose weight easily.

It is recommended that between 20 and 30 grams of fibre be consumed daily. This is not difficult if fruits, vegetables and grains are added to the daily diet. However, at least eight glasses of water should be consumed daily to aid the movement of food through the digestive tract.
