A Powerful Antioxidant Antiaging
May 5, 2009
Running can be a powerful antioxidant antiaging. When you run, you burn large amount of stored calories that transformed into fats. Fat people looks older compared to the lean or sexy. Running can also have many psychological benefits based on the runnersguide.com. Most significantly, runners typically report being happier and feeling less stressed than their counterparts who do not run or exercise regularly.
When running, the body releases endorphin hormones that are responsible for the feeling of euphoria. Perspiration or sweating creates a cooling effect that lightens one’s mood. When you run, you strengthen your bones and tendons. This slows down their aging process that would likely result to osteoporosis.
Other Way to Balance Out
May 5, 2009
You may still remember your teacher in elementary years or in high school and even in college telling you the importance and purpose of food pyramid. Food Pyramid serves as your guide in your daily diet to get the right amount of nutrients and minerals. But then, may be until now you are still ignoring it. Think of it. The food pyramid can be your great ally to help you fight aging. But if you don’t get the best out of it, consider taking supplement water.
If you aren’t getting the proper amount of nutrients from the food group needed by your body to function well, you can find other ways to balance out. The best way is to find supplement that gives your body an extra supports, an extra benefit.
Try looking for supplements that contain variety of natural ingredients. Look for and make sure that anti-oxidants are included in the formula for it will play a very important role in cell regeneration and oxidation. Consider also the presence of alpha hydroxyl acids, which will help balance out the levels of pH and other nutrients in your system.
Vitamins A, C, and E are the common known anti-oxidants. Supplement water contains these vitamins along with other necessary minerals. You will be surprised that it also contains resveratrol that will help fight certain forms of cancers and other diseases. This is no surprise at all actually, because this is made from natural fruit extracts of acai, goji, and pomegranates. Scientific studies published in the internet said that these fruits contain higher amount of anti-oxidant called catechins that can be found also in green tea. Catechins stimulate the natural production of growth hormones in the body thus, regenerates the cells.
With supplement water, you don’t have to worry about nutrients imbalance. But this is not to say that you will no longer watch out your diet and does your work out to be healthy, younger-looking, and active. This is a supplement not an alternative to your recommended dietary allowance. It only helps in filling up the missing nutrients and minerals that will give you extra benefits.

No, I Don’t Want that Filariasis in Me!
April 28, 2009
Filariasis, specifically lymphatic filariasis, causes the dreaded illness called elephantiasis. Due to the SAFE FOR WORK nature of this blog, no images of elephantiasis would be shown on this site. For the curious and the masochistic among my readers, I suggest you google for pics.
Suffice it to say that I’ve just been given the standard treatment for the prevention of elephantiasis: 5 tablets of diethylcarbamazine (DEC) and 1 tablet of Albendazole. I have yet to actually drink the stuff, but they’re now in my possession.

Mahirap maging mahirap
March 20, 2009
Isa lamang siyang batang nagsabi sa ina niya na nihihirapan na siyang huminga.
Sino ba naman ang mag-aakalang kinain na ng tuberculosis ang buong bahagi ng kanyang kaliwang baga? Eh sabi pa naman ni manong albularyo na pinaglalaruan lang siya ng engkanto.
Ang alam lang niya, hindi na muna siya makakapasok sa school at aabsent na muna siya.
Ang hindi niya alam, walang pambili ang mga magulang niya ng gamot para sa pulmonya at gamit para matanggal ang nana sa kanyang baga.
Kaya umalis na lang sila ng ospital, nagbabaka-sakaling may mahihingan ng tulong sa mga pang-gobyernong ospital. Habang nakikipaghabulan sa oras na kinakailangan para sugpuin ang impeksyon sa katawan ng bata bago pa ito tuluyang kumalat sa sistema.
Mahirap humagilap ng pera.
Mahirap na gamutan.
Mahirap na alagaan.
Mahirap dahil kakaunti lang ang makakatulong sa kanila. At yung may mga ibang mayayaman, nagmamaramot pa.
Tumingin ako sa wallet ko. Kamusta naman. Nag-iisang mukha ni Manuel Roxas ang natitira.
“Eto po, kunin nyo na, pantulong lang”
Umiyak si nanay. Sabay yuko, na para bang nahihiya pa.
“Tenks you po”
At umalis palabas ng ospital, bitbit ang anak na nahihirapan nang huminga, at hindi alam kung anu ang mga nangyayari.
Mahirap talaga maging mahirap.
Haay Panginoon, tulungan niyo po sila/kami.

Michael Phelps suspended for 3 months
February 11, 2009
Life has an interesting way of showing even the most famous how the ups and downs work. This summer in Beijing, Michael Phelps was our national hero, forcing any American worth their weight in red, white and blues to wear out their respective couches when he swam. That was a high point for the young Olympian.
Now is the low. After the pot pictures heard ’round the world hit the newsstands last week, everyone has been jumping quickly off the… Read More…
Mineral Water vs Purified/Distilled Water
February 8, 2009
It is a debate that will never end because the Scientific community doesn’t have an official stand about the matter for various reasons, or no one simply bothered to conduct an official and thorough study to finally end the debate.
What do we do then? We search and decide for our own. Here are some of what I found simply by using Google Search. Click here to continue reading…
Operation Timbang
February 7, 2009
I study in a medical school that prides itself for its “community-based” education. Whereas, other schools only expose their students to the community near graduation time, and that for only about a week. We are sent into the community from our first year until we graduate. We are responsible for guiding them, and empowering them to make wiser decisions to the betterment of their lives.
As part of our curriculum, we must pass a community diagnosis report regarding the conditions of the community assigned to us. Part of the report covers the Nutrional Status of children 0-7 years old. To gather such data, we had to measure the weights and heights of these children in a what is commonly called as an Operation Timbang.
Yet what we had thought to be a simple house-to-house procedure almost turned into shambles!
