Ms Koh Chieng Mun (aka ‘Dolly’ from ‘Under One Roof’) survived Cancer

I was reading today's papers and realized Ms Koh Chieng Mun survived kidney and breast cancer after completing her chemotherapy treatment in 2005.

Her Insurance payouts allowed her to stop working and is able to spent time to help others in need instead.

“So I did a stock check of my past and started to understand how I became ill”

Recalling her busy past as an actress where she had long work hours, irregular meals and little sleep.

“A young, busy person always thinks he or she is invincible, but stress is the silent killer – it weakens one’s immune system and secret hormones that make you vulnerable to diseases”

She has a website www.myhealthylifestyle.com.sg where she shares what she has learnt about Health and Wellness, the website also contains healthy food recipes.
