“C” Doesn’t Stand for Cure

Fact or fiction: Vitamin C keeps colds away?

FICTION
Most of us feel a cold coming on and immediately start stocking up on vitamin C. But it turns out that vitamin C has no proven effect on preventing a cold. And, it won't make you feel better or recover too much faster once you've caught the virus.

But that's no excuse to stop drinking your daily glass of orange juice — vitamin C still helps prevent immune system deficiencies and heart disease, and helps your skin look smooth.

Cerita pasal vitamin C ni teringat masa awal2 pregnant dulu. Memang simptom2 preggy morning sickness suma tu ada cuma demam and selsema plus batuk tu cam my middle name dh masa tu.

Masa pegi klinik yg confirm pregnant tu pun sebenarnya ingat kene demam denggi...sebab asyik demam malam and it continue to be on off on off selama beberapa hari.

Bila dh tau pregnant, ntah mana dtgnya kata2, baru2 pregnant tak elok makan2 ubat ni..so even demam ke batuk or selsema ke mak ni tahan je lahhhh... hahahha

Ada satu hari tu, mmg dari pagi duk dlm bilik ber'aircond' je, so mmg mula la rasa cm nk kene flu and badan rasa dedar2. Tau apa bakal mak budak (at that time lahhh)  ni buat? dia g makan orange. banyak giler i tell you.... kononnye kalau flu or demam ni boleh cure dengan mengambil vitamin C yg byk.

As stated above,vitamin c has no proven effect on preventing a cold apatah lagi nk curekan flu and demam kan....

And you know what happen to the bakal mak budak tu? balik rumah je dia bertambah demam. Selsema yg tahap dewa punya. Takleh nk bangun langsung. Lembik. Then the next day, bakal bapak budak telah berjaya menginsafkan bakal mak budak dan bawa pegi klinik.

Siap kene gelak ngn doctor tu... ater bakal mak budak ni kan suka wat pandai mengalahkan doctor..dapat kau.. demam teruk kot.

At last doctor prescribed jugak ubat demam and selsema. Ubat batuk pun, tapi doctor cakap ubat batuk yg dia bagi tu mild2 je. Boleh di makan oleh bakal mak budak.

And doctor advised..kalau dh tak sihat tu pergi je lah klinik. Amik je lah ubat. Nanti pandai2 lah doctor tu bagi ubat yg sesuai utk pregnant woman. Yg takde effect kat baby dalam perut tu. Sbb kalau si mak budak kene demam yg lebih teruk sebenarnya akan lebih memudaratkan kandungan. Lebih besar ye effectnya.

Same goes to breastfeed momma, jgn la sanggup tak makan ubat atas alasan menyusukan anak.(kalau atas alasan takut nk telan ubat takpe...hahaha)
Kalau sakit kene rujuk doctor, sbb kalau mak sakit cmner nak jaga family anda dengan baik..betul tak?

Akhir kata.... take good care of yourself mommy! and jgn suka wat assumption sndiri and jagn takut telan ubat biji!
