Earth Hour - join the movement

On March 27th at 8:30 p.m. local time, Earth Hour will cascade around the globe—from time zone to time zone—uniting the planet under a single, simple, call to action.

Earth Hour Malaysia

Since its inception three years ago, Earth Hour’s non-partisan approach has captured the world’s imagination and became a global phenomenon. Nearly one billion people turned out for Earth Hour 2009 – involving 4,100 cities in 87 countries on seven continents.

2009 was the first time Malaysia officially participated in Earth Hour bringing Malaysians to turn off their lights for one hour to show their support towards climate change. Many prominent landmarks such as KLCC, Bintang Walk and almost all major city buildings also switched off their lights for an hour. Its estimated that more than 5 million Malaysians participated in Earth Hour.

Do your part, spread the words around, send e-mails to your associates and friends and get them to switch off the lights this coming Saturday, 27th March, 8:30pm for at least an hour. Together, we can all make a difference!

Gut health linked to excessive weight gain during pregnancy

Gut health linked to excessive weight gain during pregnancy

"The link between gut microflora populations and weight may also extend to pregnancy, with a new study revealing that women who gain excessive weight during pregnancy have different microflora profiles."

A study with 50 pregnant women revealed that women who experienced excessive weight gain during pregnancy had more Escherichia coli bacteria in their gut, and fewer Bifidobacteria than women with normal weight gain during pregnancy. Yes, we need more of the good bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus and not so much of the E. coli and enterobacter.

A breakthrough paper published in Nature in December 2006 reported that microbial populations in the gut are different between obese and lean people, and that when the obese people lost weight their microflora reverted back to that observed in a lean person, suggesting that obesity may have a microbial component.
