    Asian food in general is prepared in a much healthier way than the 'traditional' American or even European food. I think we all agree that the fast-food culture does not do our bodies any good. Asians have been aware of that for centuries. Using chopsticks forces you to eat more slowly, which allows you to enjoy the flavor, gives your stomach a chance to respond to the food and lets your brain know you've had enough before you overeat. All in all, I believe it's not only a part of ancient tradition, but also a way of healthier living.

    Side-effects depend on the type of pill you are using. There are a lot of micro pills on the market that minimize the hormonal intake nowadays. The best thing is to talk to your gynecologist about it. As for me, I have always put on a little weight (been off and on the pill a couple of times in my life) due to water. But it really isn't that bad. On the contrary, I found that the pill reduces PMS (especially the cramps) significantly. And of course your cycle will stabilize. However, you DO have to consider the possible side effects that can come with the pill and which are decribed in detail on (or rather within) the package. By all means, talk to your doctor and/or pharmacist about it.
