I really feel mad while writing this I am a daughter and we are not wealthy people that my grandmother dies last year without bringing her to the hospital.This is the lesson I learned last year.TO take care of health especially if you can't afford to go to the hospital.Prevention is better than cure. There are many ways to take care of our health but she didn't. Just like after eating.She lift about 4 gallons of water and put it in our sink. where she can use a bucket er to fetch water which I usually do after I ate to avoid appendicitis. for our neighbor almost died when unknowingly she feel so much pain and the result is her appendicitis almost poisoned her.And it seem that my mother who told me the story do forgot the lesson here.She can take care of her self if she really want.Like when we eat. I told her not to eat the meat fats for it contains cholesterol that clogs on our veins/ arteries. but she didn't listen she will say It's not everyday we do eat such foods.She do eat junk foods till now( actually she is the one who taught us when we are young to eat instant noodle,preservative foods and junkfoods which we carry till we grow up so tthat's why I have sinuses problem and I always get sick before now I stop and change my diet when I started to become health conscious).She don't ever care for her health even she already have hypertension, Hyper acidity and other things she feel bad on her body!She don't listen to my advice.she love eating fatty foods than eating vegetables!I am aware because she is 53 already.We always end up fighting because of that. What shall I do she never learn from other lesson!

It's not easy sometimes,to explain something to our parent. When we tell them something that is true and it's not make them happy they will think that we don't respect them as parent and say that they know what is best for them. I have experience, my uncle has comlication of blood sugar, high blood pressure and kidney. It is so hard to tell him to not eat this and that because the doctor said so. He will eat when he want it and no one can stop him. He passed away 5 years ago because of his complication.

I think just calmly talk to her. Let her know that you love her and you care for her, that's why you're taking precautions with her health too. Just say to her that you don't want to lose her early. I'm sure she will understand and will change her lifestyle.

thank you for your suggestion. but honestly I am not vocal to my parent especially to my mom.I am shy to tell them and I am not really open. I always show my 'love' on my family through action because I really can't tell it in words.
