Lets Drink Not Beyond The Limits

CATEGORY: | Monday, January 24, 2011

When I was still a student, I  am always on the go when my classmates invited me to attend  parties. Since I was once a scholar, I even realized some time that its really hard to manage your school responsibilities while you are partying. But I never regret joining my classmates and friends at that time because all memories are worth reminiscing. I even remember that day when my classmates "devirginized" me on what so called alcohol drinking. To tell you I am not a drinker of beers or any liquors. Every party I attended, I drunk only iced tea , fruit juices or soft drinks.  Thats why at that time, I had my very first taste of a beer in a beer stein and beer glasses together with my classmates. I cannot refuse for I don't want to make myself as a killjoy person in front of them.


After that taste session, I told myself not to drink alcohol again. Why? Its because I don't like the smell as well as its taste. But despite of these excuses to myself, still I was drunk at that time. You will know me when I am already drunk when I am laughing out loud even the conversation is not that funny. So, how about you? How do you see yourself when you are drunk? 

Anyways with that incident, I had my own realization. I realized that even you are drunk, you can still contemplate what you are doing - meaning you still know what you are saying and acting. Thats why I don't believe on those drunkards who are making their "alcohol-intake" to be the reason why they got involved to sex crimes. And I think young adults should be mature enough to know what is right from wrong and be ingenious enough to avoid unhealthy repercussions. 


So the next time you will drink together with your friends or loved ones, don't just think the fun you will get out of it but also the possible things will happen if you are too drunk. To stay away from this, lets just drink not beyond our limits or its time to change alcoholic drinks to fruit juices mixed with vodka.

Choosing Minute Maid Pulpy Is Making The Right Choice

CATEGORY: , | Monday, January 10, 2011

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe... its a false information or simply a lie because without adding any preservatives, bottled juice cannot be stored for a longer time. And since Minute Maid Pulpy is a bottled juice, so it must have preservatives content to stay its freshness and pulpiness from the date it was manufactured until the date it was bought and drank by a consumer. Furthermore, I know preservatives are really needed in products like bottled juice to prevent the act of spoiling and to sustain its shelf life. Thus, the presence of preservatives helps Minute Maid Pulpy to become more salable in the market. 

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added.  So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED!  That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse...carcinogens!  Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I... immediately let my family knew about it and recommend them to try. They drink Minute Maid Pulpy afterward and they truly enjoyed its pulpiness. After that, I heard positive feedback from them:

"Indeed, it is difficult not to be impressed by Minute Maid Pulpy - by its astounding creation and development as well as the health benefits you can get out of it. And knowing that this has no preservatives added, well I will make bringing and drinking Minute Maid Pulpy as my habit during office breaks. Health matters, that why I choose Minute Maid Pulpy as my bottled juice drink."                                                                     - Joemarie M. Penas (brother)


"For some reasons, some in my control and others not, I seldom make a real juice feast. And now we have this Minute Maid Pulpy, I am very satisfied with its taste. And one thing I discovered today is that health and taste can be mix - through Minute Maid Pulpy. Minute Maid Pulpy makes prioritizing health a practical and practical thing."                                                                          - Joevelit M. Peñas (sister)

"No matter how old you are, its never been too late to try the taste of Minute Maid Pulpy. After I had a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy I able to form this formula (proper diet+adequate rest+proper exercise+Minute Maid Pulp=Healthy Lifestyle.)" I know it takes time and commitment but the health benefits you can get are certainly worth. In short its worth trying!"
                                                - Ma. Lolita M. Peñas (mother)


"There is something of a peculiar which seems to over this Minute Maid Pulpy and this is the no preservatives added thing. By this feature, drinking this bottled juice is also a way to prevent various forms of cancer. It also helps in lowering cholesterol levels and controlling high blood pressure which are two common problems I and my wife Lita are experiencing."                                                                                              - Jose S. Peñas Sr. (father)

Indeed, I should say that this Minute Maid Pulpy is not just a nutritious drink to share with my loved ones, but a drink that binds us all - my family's favorite drink.


So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right?  Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means... making the right choice. I know everyone wants to have a healthy life and achieving this often present a challenge. Under today's pressure, it seems more convenient to drink bottled juices than to prepare drinks from fresh fruits. This choice, however may result to a growing number of people experiencing serious health problems. This happens because of the preservatives content which when  taken for prolonged time  have some ill effects. In the end, if its a healthy bottled juice  you want, then there's no better way than to choose Minute Maid Pulpy  - a certified bottled juice with no preservatives added. 
  


"I choose Minute Maid Pulpy as my bottled juice drink. Wanting it is not enough. I prefer to be a Minute Maid Pulpy lover. This choice I made is not based on the product's advertisements and commercials, on my peers or feedback from the people around me. This choice I made is based on my correct understanding and trust to Minute Maid Pulp as well to its manufacturer."
                                                                        - Jose M. Peñas Jr. (yours truly)


But somehow anything can be taken to pinnacles just like health obsession, so it is best to keep everything in equilibrium!

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added - meaning it's THAT natural, it's almost like it's plucked straight from the tree, it's just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it's got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives' bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is 'cause it's got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I'm gonna advise everyone to try Minute Maid Pulpy same as I did to my family because I assure you that this bottled juice tastes really good and also good for your health. But to those who are not yet convinced, admittedly it may not be easy to trust at first. Doubts may still flood in your mind. What can you do? The fact is that dwelling on doubts is destructive. So make a conscious effort to push doubts from your mind through having a research about Minute Maid Pulpy on different search engines and find testimonials about the benefits you can get from this drink because I tell you, this is no joke, I, myself and my family tried this and we are now enjoying its health benefits.



Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C'mon you just might be picked as the lucky 'commentor'!)

Love,

Jose

Cold Drinks CAN'T Cause Cancer

CATEGORY: | Saturday, July 17, 2010

HEALTH TIPS: Nice having a cold drink after meals but cold solidifies oily stuff we just ate. It slows down digestion. Once this sludge reacts with the stomach acids, it breaks down and gets absorbed by the intestines faster than the solid food and coats the intestines. Very soon, this becomes fat and leads to colon cancer . It's best to take hot soup or tepid water after meals. Be a true friend and send this to people you care about.  

The text message above is already disseminating to our phones nowadays. To tell you, this is a false alarm. According to the article that I have read in the internet, that there is no scientific basis that drinking cold drinks after meals results to cancer. Besides the conclusion of the message is logically fallacious. The stomach's natural heat will bring all contents to a uniform temperature soon after eating. Even ice-cold water would not stay cold long enough inside the stomach to actually "solidify the oily stuff"

This chemical break down, along with rhythmic muscular contractions, turns all of the stomach's contents into a thick semi-liquid mass called chyme and moves it into the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine. Thus, even if cold water did solidify oily substances in the stomach contents (highly improbable), the resulting "sludge" would soon be converted into chyme and it would not enter the duodenum more rapidly than any other material. Thus, drinking cold drinks may tend to change the state of things that you have eaten, and can react with them harder to digest, which later cause indigestion but never leads to cancer.

Fluoride Toothpaste: A Toxic Drug

CATEGORY: |

If you are a toothpaste consumer of any brand, then you must read the back of your toothpaste for its ingredients. Study shows that Food and Drug Administration regulated typical toothpaste as a drug because an average tube contains enough fluoride can kill a small child. Most people are living that fluoride toothpaste prevents cavities and bad breath, when in reality it is a deadly poison.

The excessive use of fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, gastric problems, allergies and organ system toxicity. It  can also damage your nervous system that may lead to cancer.  If you still don't know, fluoride is one of the main ingredients in making a rat poison and now in toothpaste.

As detailed below, it is clearly stated that Colgate for Kids contains fluoride and it is capable of killing all average weighing children under the age of 9 (nine):
                                                                                                

As the dangers of fluoride unmask to the public, even the American Dental Association admits that fluoride is bad. So the bottom line here is look for a non-fluoride toothpaste with well-known ingredients and if possible disregard all the addendum such as "whitening" effect.

The Chicken Came First

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? 


It has been the question that confounds every brain cells of man for centuries. A simple question but seems hard to answer. If the chicken came first, then didn't it hatch from an egg? If the egg came first, wasn't it laid by a chicken? An unanswerable question indeed - a paradoxical interrogation. But that was before! Now, the age-old chicken-or-egg question is finally answered.


Scientists concludes that there will be no egg formation without the protein ovocledidin-17 (OC-17). This essential ingredient helps in egg shell formation. Without this builder protein, the eggs would not exist. And yet it can only be produced inside the chicken. Therefore, if the builder protein can only be produced inside the chicken, this means that the chicken came first.

In addition, scientists discover that aside from giving a scientific proof behind the old-aged chicken-or-egg question, the study also bequeaths ideas for material designs and processes that would lead to the invention of new materials and nature-inspired technology enhancement.

Are you satisfied with the info or you are still convinced that the egg came first before the chicken?

Aging is an inexorable process to be look forward and really deserves our attention nowadays because it somehow gives way to health atrophy or even death as we grow up. Oxidative stress is one of the primary cause of aging which is the outcome of combats done by your body antioxidants and other defensive abilities from free radicals which are byproduct of your metabolism. But FEAR NOT to this problem! It has already a solution and it was being unveiled by the Oxis International, Inc. "Advancing Oxidative Stress Technology" which is engaged in the research, development and sale of products that counteract the harmful effects of "oxidative stress".




Actually Oxis International, Inc. aims to quell both direct cellular abnormalities and damage of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and RNS (Reactive Nitrogen Species) which are both factors that cause oxidative stress. To treat oxidative stress, they have these OXIS' compounds that modulates the activation of transcription factors which are the body's central control switches that can bring about and revamp a cascade of interrelated events. One of this is their lead compound (BXT 51072) which is  a low molecular weight, orally active, organoselenium catalytic mimic of the major cellular protective antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) which uses glutathione as substrate. Furthermore, it regulates secondary inflammatory processes through preventing the activation and release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, adhesion molecules and inflammatory enzymes.

Bloody Morning

CATEGORY: | Friday, May 7, 2010

Just this morning when I woke up, I can feel that there is watery something flowing in my nose, fluid that really wants to escape from the inner me going through my nasal' passage. I feel strange about it, knowing that I don't have runny nose. As I grabbed a towel beside my bed to wipe it, I was flabbergasted when I saw blood. I got epistaxis! I came to deduce, maybe its because I got headache last night, thats why this happened to me. So, immediately, I wet the towel and applied it in my nose and cheeks, keeping my head above my heart then after few minutes I took a bath. Then there you are, I am now feeling better.

Actually our nose is really prone to bleeding. Why? Its because our nose is rich with lots of blood vessels which help warm and humidity the air we breathe. These vessels lies close to the surface making them mere to mutilate.

Anyways, nosebleed is somehow can be treated at home. According to the article that I have read, if you get a nosebleed, sit down and and lean slightly forward. Keeping your head above from your heart will slow the bleeding. Lean forward so that the blood will drain out of your nose instead down the back of your throat. If you lean back, you may swallow the blood that can cause stomach irritation. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch the soft portions of your nose. Keep holding your nose at least five minutes. Repeat necessary, until your nose has stopped bleeding. Once the bleeding stops, don't do anything to make it start again like bending over or blowing your nose. In my case, I just applied wet towel afterwards or it could be an ice wrapped in a towel too. 

No worries, nosebleed can be easily prevented through following the tips:
  • Keep fingernails short to discourage nose picking.
  • Do not smoke. Smoking dries out your nose and also irritates it.
  • Do not blow your nose or put anything into it. Open your mouth when you sneeze so that the air will escape from your mouth and not from your nose.
  • Counteract the drying effects of indoor heated air by using a humidifier at night in your bedroom.

Nosebleed is caused by nose picking, infection, or even hypertension (high blood pressure). As what happened to me this morning, its all because of sudden change of temperature. Everyday, I am having my training in an airconditioned office. During my lunchbreak, I always tend to walk going home to save money of course. Even I have the "cap" still it can resist the fiery rays from the sun. In addition, changes from a cold environment to a warm, dry, heated home emanates in drying and changes in the nose which will make it more gullible to bleeding. Since its summer season, lets just increase our self-awareness about the effects of global warming specially in our health.

Drowning

Sometimes, adversities come unexpectedly. You cannot know what prevails for you at anytime ahead. Accidents are most likely what I meant to this. Accident is accident, no matter what! It may leave you with injuries, hurt you intensely or even death. 
Since, we already absorbed the sweltering rays of the sun on a fiery summer season, we are being magnetized to enjoy and relax for a vacation in different bodies of water, it could be beaches, oceans, rivers, pools, streams and lakes. But we must plan ahead to keep ourselves safe from having fun. Dangers could be lurking in different bodies of water that may lead to drowning accidents. 
According to the article that I have read, drowning occurs when the lungs are filled with a liquid so that the victim cannot breathe or absorb oxygen, and therefore subsequently suffocates. Though we commonly correlate death with drowning, it does not result in a fatality. Drowning survivors often suffer injuries related to lack of oxygen to the brain including loss of memory, mental disability and other permanent impairments.
But, drowning is always almost preventable. As a matter of fact it is easier to prevent drowning accidents rather than treat drowning victims. If you strictly adopt, the following steps, you can effectively safeguard yourself and your loved ones against dangerous drowning accidents:
  • Person who do not know how to swim should keep away from deep waters.
  • Never go swimming alone, especially in an open water setting.
  • Always make sure that children is well supervised by an adult when they swim.
  • Avoid swimming immediately after eating or when one is tired.
  • Don't reply on floating toys to keep you afloat.
  • Make sound judgments when engaging in water activities.
  • Never swim in places where the condition (depth and current) of the water is unknown.
  • Never swim if you are drunk or consumed mind-altering drugs.
  • Don't hesitate to shout for a "help" if you are really drowning.

To avoid brain damage and death, it is significant to restore breathing immediately to a drowning victim. Start a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation as soon as possible even before the drowning victim is out of water. If the heart stopped beating, do the cardiac massage together with the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It is also recommended, that adult swimmers, in particular with those with children must know how to execute CPR in case of emergency.
The bottom-line of my post, is we must practice safety all the time to avoid accidents. For I know safety is not a gadget but a state of mind.
