Natural Remedy for Leaky Bladder: strengthen pelvic muscles

Women are prone to experiencing bladder weaknes where urine leak and causes embarrassment. According to a report in theStar:

http://thestar.com.my/health/story.asp?file=/2008/7/17/health/1535962&sec=health

“Some of the common ways to manage bladder weakness include controlling your fluid intake and doing pelvic exercises regularly. Others resort to wearing darker clothing to hide the tell-tale water mark of an accident. Nevertheless, the occasional ‘accident’ still happens so it’s important to always be prepared,” Dr Ng explains.

Well, there is a natural remedy. Join us for Aerobic exercises where K. Pathmanathan will lead you through a series of exercises, some of which will help strength your pelvic muscles.

Malacca or Melaka named Cultural World Heritage by UNESCO

Malacca (spelling in Malay, Melaka) has been named a Cultural World Heritage site by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation). This is a global recognition that had long been sought.

One of the many historical sites is the 17th Century Cheng Hoon Teng Temple. Its trustee member is Josephine Chua. Josephine said the Malacca must now take steps to create greater awareness amongst the public (and the authorities who are fond of tearing up old historical relics to replace wiht monstrous "modern" structures like the RM21mil revolving tower at its new site next to Taman Bunga Merdeka in Jalan Merdeka) on the importance of preserving the city’s rich cultural heritage.

Advantages of Public Transport - LRT, Bus, Walk

Since getting the aspiration to live a Dream Driven Life(TM) and aiming to author a book of the same title plus to head the AIA Life Insurance Agency using the name KL/Legacy (Kuala Lumpur Legacy, I have become more knowledgeable about insurance. I am also environmentally concious. With the added incentive of saving money on now expensive petrol and also aiming to reduce the premium for personal accident insurance so trying my very best to cut down riding a motorcycle (if you declare you ride a motorcycle frequently, a loading will be imposed on the premium for personal accident insurance), I have now reverted to using the public transport as much as possible.

There are many advantages of using public transport like the Putra and LRT (light rail transit)and buses. Among them are:

1. it is 100 times safer than riding a motorcycle


2. the premium for personal accident insurance is cheaper

save money because petrol prices have increased while the fare for public transport have not

3. I get chauffered, I can sit down and read during the journey
   reduced green house emission and thus help fight global warming


4. no need to go round and round hunting for parking


5. no need to pay expensive parking charges


6. no need to pay toll


7. get exercises and stay healthy
