  • HEALTH4ALLCaring for the elderly

    14/02/2012 : More than half of my heart patients are above the age of 65.

    26/01/2012 : Pimples are habitual. Although more seen during your teenage years, they continue to pay a visit at any age, anytime and without any notice. It's all good, okay, at least tolerable, if they come and go quickly. The problem occurs when they leave a mark on our face after they're gone. And of course with time, as more acne appears, the chances of more scarring increases. What's worse? If you don't treat acne scars swiftly, they're likely to stay with you forever. For those of you are thinking time will do the trick, you may be right _ only if you are in your younger years when the body is quick to recover.

These never-ending cycles of renewal make this planet always new, always fresh, young and exciting.
