Instant Black Sesame soup

I'm not pretty sure since when I fall in love to drink the Black Sesame dessert, as you may know the Black Sesame has a little bitter taste and the colour is black which seems not delicious. But trust me, it isn't bad taste and you will definitely like it if served with some honey and oat. Why drink it? Black sesame is one of the recommended healthy foods.  Black Sesame are a very good source of copper and a good source of magnesium and calcium and very good diet therapy food for the Traditional Chinese culture. In the shops and in restaurant, you can buy many Black Sesame products such as cake, porridge, sweets etc. If you have experienced temporary dry eyes, blurred vision, you can try to have a Black Sesame soup which can nourish your eyes as well as benefit the liver and kidney channels.

The Cancer Truth Seminar by Eu Yan Sang

It was a health seminar about cancer reveals organised by Eu Yan Sang. The tickets is RM99 for 2 pax if you are Eu Yan Sang member, else you are going to pay for RM120 per pax. I was invited to go by my sister to replace my mom, as she was not able to make it in the morning. The seminar started at 8 a.m. morning and if you could come earlier, there is breakfast provided and free body checkup before the talk starts. There is also several products selling outside the ballroom, you may get discount or cheaper a bit compared to the store.

The speakers are all specialist doctor in the cancer from local and Taiwan. They are providing general info about the cancer screening tests, how's it grow, how to prevent cancer, treatments and so on. It is a very good knowledge to understand it as nobody can guess who is the next to have this disease. Well, our body is made up of trillions of living cells. These cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. Cancer cells originate from normal cells when their DNA or blue prints within the cell nucleus is damaged. When DNA is damaged in a normal cell, the cell either repairs the damage or the cell dies. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired, and the cell does not die. This may be inherited from parents or may be a spontaneous problem that occurs during the lifetime of a person such as environmental toxins as those present in cigarette smoke. There are, however, multiple factors that may cause cancer and it is difficult to pin point an exact cause.
