Tutti Fruitti

Raided my fridge to create this antioxidant fruit salad.I always enjoy a variety of fruits and to me,colours is vital,as different pigments found in fruits contain different antioxidants,which when combine together works well to fend off free radicals.Free radicals is responsible for many health ailments such as cancer,heart diesease.For a change in texture and as well as calcium and phytoestrogen,tofu was added and a bottle of yakult poured in for an interesting taste.
During pregnancy,calcium is required to build baby's bones and teeth and now after giving birth,I felt a difference in my body.My hips creak and my kneecaps hurt whenever I try to get up from the floor.Sigh,seems like I will need lots of calcium to build up my bone mass before the dreadful osteoporosis strikes silently.Osteoporosis ,which is not to be trifled with can lead to hip fracture or death,everytime I talk about this disease,it never fails to remind me of old ladies being wheeled into the health supplement shop (i was working there) who requested to buy calcium after being diagnosed with that horrible disease.It was heartwrenching to see these old ladies purchasing a bottle of hope,which will not improve the condition.To all ladies reading this,do take heed.Do load up on your calcium,dun wait till its too late....Hereby,I wish gd health to all.
