Stress Management

Not all health problems stem from diseases or conditions – many come simply from day-to-day life. Stress is one of the most prevalent and timely among these.

As we take on more burdens in our work and home lives, our stress levels continue to rise. While sometimes a little stress can be a positive thing, it’s important to recognize the impact of negative stress on your body, as well as how to manage it before it gets out of control.


Short-term stress, which is known as acute stress, often occurs when we encounter a situation that causes us to become angry, anxious or overwhelmed. This type of stress can be positive and can cause us to channel our energies and work hard to overcome the conditions that are putting us on edge – such as a difficult question at work that makes you think on your feet, or the very first time you try a new skill.

However, acute stress can also have a negative impact and can cause us to react in manners that can be harmful to our body. Road rage, for example, or any type of temper flare-up, can put a lot of strain on the heart and the rest of the body. If instances of acute stress occur often, the harmful effects can become an issue.

Chronic stress, which is stress that lasts day in and day out without an end in sight, can be even more dangerous than acute stress. Here, the body is never given a break or a chance to recover. This can lead to serious health issues such as insomnia or depression, as well as burnout in the workplace or at home.

Toothache and Gum Problems

Sometimes you may have tooth pain when you touch a tooth or when you eat or drink foods that are hot, cold, sweet, or sour (a sensitive tooth). Mild sensitivity can be caused by shrunken (receded) gums or a worn-down tooth. Moderate to severe sensitivity can mean a tooth has cracked, a dental cavity is present, or a filling has been lost. Seeing a dentist for treatment can prevent the tooth from dying.

Kembalikan monorel Putrajaya

RASA agak terkilan melihat landasan monorel separuh siap berdekatan Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin di Putrajaya semalam. Kalaulah dulu projek bernilai RM400 juta ini diteruskan, sudah pasti Putrajaya tidak mengalami masalah tempat letak kereta kronik seperti sekarang.

Tetapi jika sekarang hendak dibina, bayangkanlah berapa mahal kosnya.

Bayangkan monorel bergerak di sekitar Putrajaya. Tidakkah itu suatu yang indah dan kelihatan maju? Tetapi projek ini terbengkalai dengan jejambat untuk menempatkan relnya terjuntai di stesen LRT di antara Kuala Lumpur dan KLIA.

‘‘Masa depan pengangkutan manusia di seluruh dunia terutama di kawasan urban adalah sistem rel,” kata pakar Kejuruteraan Lalu Lintas dan Pengangkutan dari Fakulti Kejuruteraan Awam Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Prof. Dr. Othman Che Puan kepada wartawan Utusan Malaysia, ZULKIFLI JALIL, semalam.

BKKHK

Terfikir-fikir kat mane nak buat Hari Keluarga BKKHK untuk 2010. Ade yang nak mandi sungai...ada yang suka laut dan ade yang nak mandi swimming pool.

Nak pilih tarikh pun susah gak ni. Bulan Mac tak sempat...April ade yg tengah exam...so bulan Mei jelah. Itupun hujung bulan.

Untuk jimatkan kos kena aturkan mesyuarat agung sekali. Cakap memang senang tapi semua setiausaha yang kena fikir. Yang lain pandai komen je...
