Milk Powder

 Brought my mum to emart. Initially to find my Dad his newspaper. It was like 8pm and who still sell newspaper this late. Been everywhere but cannot find. We found they were selling Anlene Gold 5x. They give bone checking for calcium level. I have the highest and pretty good. The guy said everyone just borderline. I didn’t tell him I have been drinking Anlene or Coffee with Fresh Milk from McD usually. Or coffee with packaged milk. Anyway, mine was like green area with reading 1. Max is 2. Borderline is -1 but still good. Mum is medium. Yellow area. Maybe age. Dad has been tested low on Calcium as I suspected. Mum went for tooth extraction and they said that will cause calcium loss in some article. That’s when I started to buy milk but Dad also lactose intolerant. He is also having some med that I knew nothing about because he has been taking them himself. Only when he sick I started to ask and researched more when he went to emergency for a swollen arm. Pretty big one that the doc ask to go emergency from clinic. they said need surgery. I dunno why though but after reading more, there is a lot more things that Dad shouldn’t eat at all or if needed in moderation. Like he actually cannot eat certain food because it inhibits the medication from working. Another is interaction with his medication. Milk cannot drink if he is having ferrovit. Potassium in blood may be a big concern if he has too much fruits or food with high potassium. His muscle weakness is a symptom. Soy sauce can cause sudden high blood pressure. I dunno what they gave him eat for lunch. Trying to be special again maybe. Also chinese herbs may need to have extra caution. Because it has no known interaction studies done with the medication he is eating. Those like rosemary and black pepper probably ok but can only be used as garnish but not supplement. I have never studied so much and this is like an unsolvable equation. Many medication has their own side effects. While one medication will cause another side effect, another medication has to be eaten to solve that side effect. Then this medication also has side effects… then need another medication so on and so forth. So this has been the worst chain ever. It all stem from one medication. His cholesterol was the worst. Statin can cause muscle pain. Perindopril can cause coughing. Amlodipine inhibits potassium to leaving the body. Metformin can cause diarrhoea. His skin also needs medication. His skin has been shedding so I bought him lotion. Now his skin whiter than me but still a bit wrinkly but better than bruises all over when I came back to visit him in the past. Each food he eats need special treatment. Not all can cook directly without extra step. YouTube and AI a lot of help but sometimes giving me contradicting info. So need to trial and error. If i tired, I just make the same thing over and over again. Saltiness… My parents and I have been skipping a lot of salt. Then one day I tried the soy sauce for kolo mee. I never realised it was so salty. I felt my heart burning. I regretted adding it. I guess for those who has religiously avoided salt, that is how a little salt can do to their tongue. Actually we don’t need salt. Almost all food source already comes with Sodium. We can easily hit target if we eat junkfood. 

For someone with so many problems, eliminating sugar and salt is the greatest enemy removal. It caused all the problems that you never have to face. It is temptation. A lot of people in Brunei often ended with diabetes, and cancer. Didn’t that show anything about food culture?

Mum has been complaining about the milk I made for her. Only milk powder and hot water. She said mine not nice. The one she got from the promoter tasted nice maybe cause it is cold. hmph. We got two new free cups for gifts. We purchased some of course
