Because of a friend’s recommendation, I went ahead and bought a juicer last month. It is a bit expensive (for me) but worth the investment if you prefer juices instead of shakes (using a blender – which we don’t have). I have fatty liver and need to detox since I can’t take medicines because my liver is compromised. My doctor says that it is not as bad as it looks. He told me that if I even go on a strict diet (no fatty/fried foods and processed foods) for a month, my blood levels will go down drastically.
Anyway, since my kids are into processed foods too – hotdog, ham, bacon, Pampanga’s best tocino and longganisa – I want to clean their colons too. My kids are fruit lovers, especially Marts. She eats an apple a day plus many oranges (Mandarin oranges are her favorite) My friend told me that apple carrot juice is great for the colon. We initially take it once a week but lately try to drink more than once a week (around 3-4 days a week). I drink one glass (200ml) and it really has helped me go “regular”.
The salesguy/demoguy let me taste pineapple malunggay juice and it was yummy! A friend also said that a great detox is this recipe: apple, cucumber, celery, pechay, tomato and a thumb-sized portion of ginger. I tried this initially but put in a WHOLE ginger (aka luya) — it was horrible! (Haha) So make sure you use the correct proportions!
A lot of my friends are expecting either their first baby or their second baby already. For those who have been pregnant already before, most of them find themselves ‘reviewing’ all the pregnancy information they had when they were pregnant with their first child. Whereas for the first time mothers, they are always eager for any pregnancy advice that they can get in any way. In this age where information is freely available online, there is an unlimited number of ways of getting oneself educated. So for my friends who are expecting, below are the usual sources of information for pregnant mothers.
· Books. Countless books on pregnancy and child care have been printed all over the world. Do not limit yourself to brand new books. I often find old and yet really good pregnancy books in secondhand book shops.
· Websites. There are several good websites on pregnancy, child care, and womens health as well. Most of the time, signing up with them is free so you get access to loads of articles and updates. Some of these websites will regularly email you of information that is appropriate for the stage of your pregnancy.
· Online Communities. Who else can be a better source of information than those who have gone through pregnancy themselves? There are numerous online communities of mothers that you can join and you could freely ask for advice or insights on anything. You could even share any knowledge that you may have acquired as well.
Deciding to get pregnant is a big deal. It entails and puts a lot of stress on a woman’s body so women need to be always at the peak of their health especially when they are in the childbearing ages. In my group of friends, at least three women are pregnant every year – talk about baby boom!

What I have been hearing from the news are depressing. There are dengue fever outbreaks and incidences of HFM (Hand, foot and mouth) illnesses in school. Being worried would be natural for a mom like me who has two schooling kids who spend more time in school five days a week than they do at home.
Rainy season is here once again, and just when you get ready for the flu season, you also need to make sure that your house is safe from molds as they flourish in damp areas with little humidity. I learned from the news that molds are dangerous when inhaled. Most common health problems like allergies and respiratory infections that don’t go away are signs of mold intoxication.
Always test for moldregularly, there is a mold test kit you can use yourself or hire a professional to do the mold test for you. With ImmunoLytics, they give you a mold test kit which include mold analysis and a free phone conference with an environmental expert. They and their specialists will discuss the results of the mold test with you, make recommendations and refer you to appropriate specialists, if necessary. The specialists include a nationwide network of doctors, allergists, environmental inspectors (people who find the problem) and remediation contractors (people who fix the problem). They will make sure the mold problem gets solved until the end, instead of just detecting them firsthand.
With the recent changes in our weather, so many kids are getting sick. My kids were not spared from flu season. They have never been sick as much as when flu season hit this year as compared to the last two years. We even had an episode where they needed to be confined. We have been recommended to give them health supplements in the form of vitamins, aside from the usual vitamins they take everyday (I even have them on double doses of Vitamin C everyday). My friends have discovered a super vitamin store called SuperVits.com where you can find all the right vitamins, nutritional supplements, and natural formulas to allow you to meet your personal goals, address particular conditions naturally, and live a healthier lifestyle.
Here are some of the vitamins or supplements offered in their store: Zyflamend vitamins are soft gel capsules that promote a healthy inflammation response, healthy joint function and normal cell growth.
Jarrow formulas manufacture the Hawthorn tablets, which promoted efficient heart function.
Now Vitamins manufacture the Garden of Life and Healthy Origins. The Garden of Life offers calcium, omega 3, antioxidants, iron and so many more. Healthy Origins are classified as high-metabolite immunogens that nourishe the body’s immune system to strengthen resistance and maintain wellness.
Many people suffer from poor eyesight and would love to get their perfect vision back. Good thing that LASIK, a type of refractive surgery for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, was developed. It uses a laser to correct these vision problems. Unfortunately, despite the promise of a perfect 20/20 vision, not everyone is a good candidate for LASIK treatment. Below is a guide to know whether you can benefit from seeing a LASIK Surgery San Diego doctor. * Over 18 years of age and has been wearing stable prescription glasses for at least two years. * Have sufficient corneal thickness. * Has nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or a combination of any of the three. * Has no other disease.
The San Diego LASIK clinic is a good clinic to go to if you think you are a good candidate for LASIK treatment. They have the best advanced technologies, friendly staff, and an affordable price. Nevertheless, if your San Diego LASIK Surgery ophthalmologist tells you that you are not a good candidate there’s no need to lose hope. With the many advances in laser technology, the capabilities of LASIK are sure to grow over time. Consult the people at this site, in that case as they will help you decide. Who knows, you just might get that 20/20 vision through LASIK in a few years time.
We are still considered to be a relatively young couple but high blood pressure runs on my husband’s side of the family so I was thinking of getting us blood pressure monitors just in case. I also need to get an automatic blood pressure monitor for my parents as they routinely check their blood pressure and I am not there all the time to do the readings for them. It is actually advisable to have a blood pressure monitor at home and for household members to know how to take blood pressure readings in case of emergency.
Southeastern Medical Supply Inc. offers medical equipment to customers at factory pricing. They also ensure that you will be able to find the best product lines in the medicine equipment field for less expense. For example, blood pressure cuffs retail starting from $14.95. They also offer sphygmamometers with stethoscopes as a package starting from $46.08. While most would still vouch for the better accuracy of manual blood pressure monitors (cuff with valves), automatic ones are also accurate provided that one ensures that fresh batteries are used all the time. They actually have a special on the UA-851 V Auto-Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor from $89.95 to $59.95.
Here are some STD hard facts: In the United States alone, the alarming STD statistics is growing larger. Out of five people, one of them will have an STD. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 19 million new infections occur each year, almost half of them among people ages 15 to 24 including male and female.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend annual STD testing even for adults in monogamous relationships, the costs can make them think twice about doing. At National STD Testing they offer confidential std testing at a low cost. Because STDs are usually asymptomatic, do not assume that you or your partner is not infected just because you do not show any symptoms. An STD can be present for years before they become symptomatic and by then the STD has already progressed, so the only way to know for sure if you or your partner has an STD is to get an STD test.
Bottom line is, get tested.
There are now same day std testing centers which will allow you to know the results in days instead of weeks. National STD Testing work with a large network of laboratories throughout the county to ensure that same day STD testing is available to those who want it.
