It’s heaty waterworld for me, still gyming and running

Got quite a bit of the "heaty" lately but kept that down very well with more intake of water (not to mention toilet visits) and cooling "liang" tea brewed by mum. For those who know, I have quite a high metabolism rate and have to go with almost a full Med bottle of water every 2 hours...

Unreal! Even the cars are afraid...

Runner’s Trots (loose stools or diarrhea after a long run)

With alot more people being ore active these days and considering that most Asians, particularly Singaporeans have a high percentage of people with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), this bowel related problem might be of particular interest.
