Those who clock 51-plus hours a week are 30% more likely to have high blood pressure than those who work less than 40 hours. Leme count: 7.5 hours x 5 = 37.5 hours. Plus xtra work at home agen & merenung & cogitating laptop ani + researching agen = 8 hours (sometimes more) x 7 = 56 hours. Totalnya = 37.5 hrs + 56 hrs wic is 93.5 hours a week!!!

Those of you who are allergy-prone, take note. Allergic reactions are caused when the immune system responds to allergens such as dust mites, pollen or pet hair & dander, by releasing histamine, causing symptoms such as wheezing & sneezing. The most common allergen causing allergic rhinitis here are dust mites.

It's scary but true that if you sneeze while driving at 110 km/h on the road, you can travel up to 90 metres with your eyes closed (Please dun try this haha. So, always have tissues handy - and slow down lah & drop back if you feel a sneeze coming on. You can buy a car air purifier which may help remove pollen, dust & diesel exhaust. Some car purifiers plug into the cigarette lighter easily.

It's an excellent workout, especially if we're short of time.

• Skip for 1 minute
• Star jumps for 30 seconds
• Six 30-metre sprints
• Ten sit-ups
• Repeat five times

The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, just east of the 14 Mariana Islands (11"21' North latitude and 142" 12' East longitude ) near Japan. As you probably already know, it is the deepest part of the earth's oceans, and the deepest location of the earth itself. It was created by ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomena in which a plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by oceanic crust.

The deepest part of the Mariana Trench is the Challenger Deep, so named after the exploratory vessel HMS Challenger II; a fishing boat converted into a sea lab by Swiss scientist Jacques Piccard.
