First Journey of Health

Some of my friend think i am a health freak :-) Little that they know what makes me this way now. I grew up having really bad skin. Each morning is a nightmare for me because i will definitely found new pimple on my face. It wasn't so bad until I was on a long business trip in Penang where suddenly my pimple really goes uncontrollable regardless whatever cream that I use. This skin problem really frustrate me. I often walk into cosmetic counter and asking myself why can't I have such a good gene with flawless skin like these models.

I try to attend seminars, went to doctors from skin doctors to naturopathy just to find a way to get flawless skin that I dream to have someday. Spent fortune to try every skin care that everyone said is good, only to be dissapointed again and again.

When i went to Shanghai 2 years a go for 3 months to study Chinesse, I make resolution with myself that I will take a good care of my skin. But it was a nightmare!! Few weeks after my stay, my skin flare up, and pimple keep popping up uncontrollable. I tried to get any skin care, even buy some mask advertise in the TV, only to be dissapointed again again.

Because of this skin problem, i am very careful with what i eat. No sweet stuff, no much meat, junk food is a no no for me, often goes for detox in the hope that someday i will find the secret of a flawless skin. Now i have my 'problematic skin' to thank for. Because of this problem, i start my journey to a healthier life style. I attend seminars about health, read books about beauty and health & even attend health retreat few times to understand how do our body works. The last thing that i do was attending Nutrition course in the poly. I learn what is the best nutrition for the body, how good is the supplement, what is the balance meal, how to read food label, what happen with the food that we food. I found human body is soo amazing and i can see how great has God created us with so much self healing system in our bodies.

And during course and research, I found out how much I had danger my body from the skin doctor that i visit. They prescribe antibiotic, R0accutance, tretinoin, etc to heal acne and improve skin condition. Little that i know that those medication bring so much damage in our body and soul. Some of this medicine will even bring depression to the point of suicidal mode, and harm the baby when they get pregnant. I am so glad that I found out earlier and do not want to seek for this kind of short cut treatment anymore.

I start to experiment with the healthy life style. When i said life style, it means it's a life style..not 1 or 2 months diet, and goes back to the lifestyle that we had previously.

Now i can proudly say to myself that i have the best skin ever in my life. Although my skin still don't look like SKII models, but i am so proud of it, and never worry about waking up with another pimple or wrinkle on my face. I think I have found a little secret of the flawless skin.
