Hi friends,
Hope you are keeping well.
Shockingly, I got atopic eczema at the
tender age of 46!! Unbelievable!
Atopic eczema, also called atopic dermatitis
is a common skin problem for small kids but they grow out of it once they establish their immune system. However, there are some adults who get
it in their 30s and 40s. They are said to be allergic, having intense stress, have
got dry skin etc.
Hurrah! It seems I am one of those
unfortunate adults.
Common characteristics of these adults are, asthmatic and often getting hay fever…..yes , it is so me, isn’t it? Damn…
To ease the symptom, I started reducing
sugar intake (good bye cakes and chocolates) and start eating more vegetables
and sleep earlier.
I also got this and started taking it in
smoothie.
This is spirulina powder. If you are not
familiar with spirulina, there is always good old Wikipedia.

And this is my spirulina smoothie. Does
not look particularly glamourous or appetising, is it?
Spirulina is a kind of sea algae, isn’t
it? You know the green stuff floating in water. Not seaweed, bit more fluffy thing.
I think it is closer to fungus than weeds.
As we live in modern world, we now know
it contains lots of nutritious but, I just wonder who on earth started eating such
weird thing.
Must be Japanese…..lol.
