To be honest, I haven’t think of my personal health for a long time and many had asked me why I didn’t do exercise & eat correctly.
I pondered for a long time and to find out that my dad had suffered from high blood pressure & diabetes finally woken me up.
Recently, my twitter friend @avnjl invited me to a Health & Diabetes workshop at Fitness Force Gym at CairnHill CC at No. 1 Anthony Road on the 10th of December 2010.
During the workshop, I had learnt that 1 in every 2 adults in Singapore will suffer from Diabetes in their lifetime and majority of the diabetes is of type 2 or maturity onset type that affects people in their middle age.
A diabetic person spent LOTS of money a year for outpatient care at a polyclinic (if not under welfare) and it’s almost impossible to totally cure from diabetes but only able to control it’s symptoms.

Mr Derrick Ong recommend to blend fruits and sweet vegetables are better for health and for those managing their diabetes condition.
