Health Benefits of Malunggay: Can It be Used to Impregnate Your Wife?

All parts of the Malunggay tree offer great health benefits,according to health experts. I do not utilize its roots, trunk and branches but I do plan to make a Malunggay soup as soon as the tree provides more leaves.

Do you have a problem bearing a child? Eating the leaves of Malunggay tree can help impregnate a woman. You can drink its juice or eat its cooked leaves. (You may read this article about how Senator Zubiri activated his fertility and impregnated his wife.)

As for me, I use the leaves of Malunggay for my chicken soup. I also employ it as a gauze to stop the wound from bleeding.

Although some medical doctors (like my cousin) do not believe Malunggay’s healing power and health benefits, there are people who can qualify such vegetable as a miracle food.

Teeth Whitening Toothpaste is not Advisable for Me

thebeautybrains.com

Here and there, teeth whitening toothpaste ads are everywhere. But my orthodontist does not recommend using toothpaste with teeth whitening solution. He told me to avoid using it because of its ability to  remove fluoride which increases risk of tooth decay.

Good thing is that my teeth do not need whitening treatment. Whew!

Mouthwash and Teeth

Image via Wikipedia

I do not use mouthwash though I know that it should be included as part of my proper oral hygiene process.

Mouthwash that contains fluoride is useful in reducing cavities and alleviating periodontal disease. According to dentists, after gargling mouthwash with fluoride, it is essential not to rinse your mouth with water. Fluoride contained in a mouthwash will not be able to coat the teeth to protect them from dental plaque or bacteria.

My dentist's advise me to use Oracare. The problem is it is too expensive for my tight budget.

Flossing and its Many Benefits

Flossing and Its Many Benefits

We all know that brushing our teeth is not enough to clean our teeth. Dentists always recommend flossing after brushing. However, not all people would find it convenient to put their hands in their mouth with a piece of thread. But in my case, I always see to it that I regularly floss my teeth to avoid cavities. Flossing may take a little of my time but it is worth a routine.


Some of the benefits of flossing

Flossing eliminates tiny food trapped in between your teeth. Also, it removes food particles which cannot be cleaned using your toothbrush.
Flossing prevents tartar formation.
Flossing reduces the risk of heart attack.

A fact about flossing: brushing without flossing is like cleaning 65% of your body leaving the 35% of dirt behind.

So, if you really want to enhance your oral health, then you should make it a habit to floss after brushing your teeth.

Gumtect for Bleeding Gums

Gumtect Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth and Gums

I used to suffer from bleeding gums, mainly because of improper brushing and flossing. Before, my dentist recommended Pyodontyl. But because it is expensive, he later advised me to use Gumtect, a product of Hapee, which is a Filipino brand of toothpaste. Its active ingredients are allantoin (for healthy gums, vitamin E (moisturizer), and triclosan (germicide).

Is Gumtect effective in treating bleeding gums? In a way, yes.

But why was I agitated when I first saw blood on my floss?

Probably, because I know that bleeding gums can be more than just swollen gums. Some of the causes of bleeding gums (besides the obvious) would include Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (a bleeding disorder), leukemia, scurvy and vitamin K deficiency.

If you, too, notice blood every time you brush or floss your teeth, you need to consult your dentist as it can be a sign of a serious medical problem. Thankfully, mine is just a case of brushing too hard and improper flossing.

Waist Trimmer: Will it Help Me Trim Down on Excess Fats?

Okay, I know that our own contestant for the Miss Universe 2010 did not win the crown because of her major major mistake, I am still aiming to have a waistline like hers. Twenty-two-inch waistline is not a major mistake but a major achievement. She said she eats a lot of rice but still maintains to have that petite waist. Damn her.

For that reason, I purchased a waist trimmer. It will not offer a huge effect on my waist but I'm pretty sure it will somehow help me shed some extra pounds around my waist if I continue following a healthy diet and regular exercise (minus swimming and playing tennis—hectic sched won't allow me.. sigh).

Benefits of Colorful Vegetables

The colors in fruit and vegetables are caused by carotenoids, which are organic pigments. Experts say that they are not just used to make fruit and vegetables appear colorful but these pigments have a lot of health benefits. According to recent studies, carotenoids found in pumpkin, carrots, spinach, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and other fruit and vegetables are useful in preventing the development of metabolic syndrome.

In addition to that, people who eat a diet rich in carotenoids betacarotenoid, lutein and zexanthin are less likely to suffer from the most common form of kidney cancer.

Carotenoids are also good for women in lowering the risk of ovarian cancer.

Because of that, I am hoping the carrot seedlings I planted in my mini-garden will grow so I could have regular supply of carrot slash carotenoids.

I do not have osteoarthritis but my right knee aches after kneeling. I am not sure why. But if this is a symptom of osteoarthritis, I do not want to go to the route of steroid injection and surgery.

According to a study in Melbourne, eating fruits regularly can lower the risk of developing lesions in the bone marrow. These lesions are said to be a marker for knee osteoarthritis. Researchers found that fruits rich in vitamin C are effective in alleviating knee pain problem. These fruits would include kiwifruit, mangoes, papaya, and grapefruit.

Good thing is that mangoes, grapefruit and papaya are easily accessible here in Davao. Unfortunately, kiwifruit is not readily available in our local market.

Increase Platelets through Durian

Individuals who hate durian should start loving durian no matter how obnoxious the taste and odor is. This is especially true if you have developed symptoms of dengue, a hemorrhagic fever that causes clotting of blood in the internal organs that may lead to death.

Durian, like Tawa Tawa leaves, is recommended by herbalists for dengue hemorrhagic fever. Even patients who have tried such remedy could attest durian's benefits in increasing platelet count.

Since I do not like durian, I just have to apply mosquito repellant lotion every time I go out. It keeps me safe from dengue-carrying mosquito and from eating the repulsive durian.

Ultima-C Sodium Ascorbate for Asthmatic

Ultima-C is a natural vitamin C that can be absorbed, easily, by the body cells. It has vitamin C metabolites that maximize cellular utilization of this type of vitamin.

My mom is asthmatic and she’s taking Ultima-C three times a day. As a result, she does not experience any asthma attack.

I have tried to consume it to alleviate my on and off cold and cough. I’m not sure if it is just a psychological effect, but my cold and cough have improved after taking it for days. However, I’m still unsure of its effects to the organs of my body considering one capsule contains 500 mg of sodium ascorbate and I need to take it 3x a day. Now, that’s a lot of vitamin C.

Apart from asthma, cold and cough, Ultima-C may be able to improve other illnesses, such as cancer (the ad says it is super antioxidant), bleeding gums, fever, cataract, allergies, among others.

Even though Ultima-C is 100% pure and natural, I’m afraid it can still cause negative effects to the body in the future. Nonetheless, I need to take it just to get rid of my on and off cold and cough.

Neti Pot for Nasal Irritation

I am prone to common cold these days. But I think this is not just a cold virus rather an infection in my sinus or nasal allergies. For this reason, I am planning to purchase a Neti Pot to alleviate my stuffy nose.

I discovered the benefits of using Neti Pot a few months ago and I am planning to use it as soon as I could get my hands on it.

Neti Pot, for one, is a drug-free treatment for nasal irritation. It is also considered as an all-natural cost-effective remedy for sinus infections. Basically, its main function is to clear the nasal passages of mucus.

I just wish that through this natural remedy, the nasal discomfort that I feel will be gone for good.

As an alternative to fish, you may eat plant foods that contain alpha-linolenic acid. This substance will be converted by your body into omega-3 fatty acids.

But what are the best sources of this acid? Well, you can have walnuts, tofu, flaxseed, as well as canola and soybean oils.

What Doctors Want You to Know About

Because of the Internet, it is easier for us to conduct a research about our symptoms. Some of us may even diagnose our own sickness through the information provided by Doctor Google. Although online medical resources are useful in helping you get a clear understanding about your symptoms, it is still necessary that you consult with your doctor to establish a proper diagnosis and perform right course of action.

There are advantages and disadvantages of using the online tools in knowing more about your symptoms. For instance, headache may be listed as one of the symptoms of brain tumor. But just because you have a headache does not mean you also have brain cancer. That's because symptoms may have different meanings.

Doctors, on the other hand, also utilize the online resources to help them diagnose their patients' diseases.

The bottom line is, when it comes to your health, there are things doctors want you to know about the web.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma—Exams and Symptoms

Andy Whitfield is yet another victim of this cancer of the lymphoid tissue called non-hodgkin's lymphoma. Andy is an actor who portrays Spartacus in "Spartacus: Blood and Sand."

Non-hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer with no known cause. Most lymphomas, however, are developed because of weakened immune systems. For that reason, patients who underwent organ transplant may increase their risk of having this type of cancer.

Biopsy and blood exam are two of the tests that can help doctors diagnose non-hodgkin's lymphoma. In a biopsy, the sample utilized is taken from a lymph node. However, other tissues may also be used as a specimen for biopsy exam. A complete blood count, which is a type of blood examination, is also requested to know the number of cells in the blood.

The symptoms of non-hodgkin's lymphoma we need to watch out for are night sweating, fever, swelling of lymph nodes, and unintentional weight loss. Thankfully, I don't experience these symptoms even though I think that, lately, my immune system is weakening.

But what's in spinach that makes it beneficial for the eyes? It has high amount of lutein that aids in safeguarding the macula from oxidative stress and high-energy photons of blue light.

How To Prevent Dry-Eye Syndrome?-- Eyesight Protection Tip #3

Consumption of fish twice a week is said to reduce the risk of dry-eye syndrome (dry eyes), a condition in which tear production is decreased.

In that case, I don't have to worry about dry-eye syndrome because we eat fish almost every day. Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support normal development of eyes.

You can try fish-oil supplements if you dislike fish.

How Often Should You Clean Your Ear?

Hair Remover: Epilin Or Body Natur

Body Natur and Epilin are two hair remover products, but the latter provides better results than the former.

Price. Epilin hair remover is cheaper than Body Natur.

Application. Both Epilin and Body Natur require low heat. However, Epilin hair remover does not harden easily after removing from heat, thereby, giving me the time to let the wax cool (for a few seconds) before spreading it on my clean, dry skin.

Body Natur hair remover, on the other hand, hardens quickly after heating it, which compels me to spread the hot wax on my skin. Because of that, I always end up having burned skin.

Effectiveness. More strands of underarm hair can be removed using Epilin hair remover than utilizing the wax of Body Natur.

Ingredients

Epilin is made from natural tree resin, natural beeswax, vegetable oil. Plus, it is 100% natural.

While Body Natur contains colophinium, glyceryl rosinate, cera microcristallina, paraffin wax, cera alba, parfum.

Overall, Epilin is more effective than Body Natur. This is, of course, based on my experience.

Confirmatory Test For Diabetes

Photo source: http://www.healthcentral.com/images/ency/fullsize/19810.jpg

My father's FBS is slightly higher than normal. By the way, Fasting Blood Sugar, better known as FBS, is just a screening test for diabetes. Because of his elevated FBS result, he needs to undergo a follow-up evaluation to confirm diabetes.

One of the confirmatory tests for diabetes is oral glucose tolerance test. This laboratory examination would involve extraction of blood for a fasting plasma glucoses test. The patient is then given a very sweet drink, specifically a drink that contains 75 grams of sugar. At timed intervals of 1, 2 and 3 hours, blood samples are collected after taking the sweet drink.

As of this date, my father has not agreed to undergo any confirmatory tests for diabetes. But I hope that his elevated FBS result is not an indication of such metabolic disorder.

Antioxidants Alert: Antioxidant And Radiation Therapy Or Chemotherapy Are Incompatible

There is no doubt that the health benefits of antioxidants are immense.

For people who want to enhance their immune system, they may take garlic or nibble on grapes as they are known to have high antioxidants contents.

For individuals who want to defy aging, they may increase their consumption of foods rich in antioxidants, such as corn, squash, and the likes.

For someone who wants to reduce their vulnerability to cancer, taking of antioxidants is also advisable.

However, consuming antioxidants at higher-than-recommended dosage may cause interference with certain treatments. Doctors warn their patients not to go overboard when it comes to taking of antioxidants. They explicated that since antioxidants are capable of destroying free radicals, it is also likely that high consumption of antioxidant supplements may diminish the effectiveness of the treatment.

In order to avoid such ineffectiveness, we must not take higher doses of antioxidants. No matter how beneficial antioxidants are, too much of it may still hamper our health.

Cancer-Fighting Food: An Egg A Day Keeps Breast Cancer Away

Egg is not my favorite food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I do not consume egg on a daily basis. I, probably, have eggs on my dining plate once or twice a month. But after knowing the benefits of eating an egg a day, I may include it on my cancer-fighting everyday menu.

According to Reader’s Digest, a recent US National Institutes of Health study reveals that consuming one egg a day can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by 24%. This is because egg is high in choline, which is considered as a water-soluble essential nutrient and grouped within the B-complex vitamins.

Other sources of choline are meat and nuts.

Ovarian Cancer: Who Are At High Risk Of Ovarian Cancer?

When the cell growth and division goes awry, cancer begins to emerge. In this case, there are new cells being formed, which are not needed by the body. Old cells, on the other hand, do not extinguish from the body as they normally do. And that extra cells formed can create a mass of tissue which can now be called a growth or tumor.

A malignant tumor in the ovary or ovarian cancer can grow and invade other organs next to the ovaries. These organs can be the fallopian tubes and uterus.

Who are at risk of ovarian cancer?

Women with family history of ovarian cancer are said to be at high risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Women with family history of cancer of the breast, colon, rectum, uterus have an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Women with personal history of cancer, such as cancer of the uterus, breast, colon, rectum are also considered at high risk of ovarian cancer.

Studies showed that women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer are females over 55 years old. Doctors also put older women who have never been pregnant at risk of ovarian cancer.

Women who take menopausal hormone therapy are also at high risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Urinalysis: TNTC Definition

A friend called last weekend requesting me to give him some clues about the “TNTC” written on his urinalysis report. Well, for those of you who are not aware of its definition, TNTC is an acronym for too numerous to count.

In urinalysis, we, laboratory technicians or better known as medical technologists, count the number of cellular elements, such as WBC, RBC, we find under a microscope. If the fields, however, are packed with cellular elements, we report it as TNTC or too numerous to count. We do this because it would be impractical to count their real numbers.

Tennis, swimming, and drinking Herbalife shake are just few of the ways I mentioned to help you lose weight. The next method I’ve recently discovered can truly help you lose weight and assist me in maintaining my current weight.

This recent discovery is dancing with Zumba Fitness. It is a fitness program based on salsa, meringue, cumbia, reggaeton and other Latin music. Just a few seconds of performing the dance moves being demonstrated, I was sweating buckets under my non-workout outfit.

Zumba fitness is not only good for losing weight but it is also helpful in learning how to dance Latin music. This fitness program is different from Hip Hop Abs. Zumba Fitness involves 99% dancing, ergo, double the fun. You can forget you are exercising.

Prevent Osteoporosis: Drink Milk

Not everyone likes to drink milk, but I love it. I always drink this liquid that contains various vitamins and minerals two times a day. This habit will help me prevent osteoporosis, according to doctors.

Some of the commercial milk today contains nano-calcium. This type of milk enters into the inner layer of the bone thereby building your bones, not just from the inside but also from the outside.

In my mother’s case, too much calcium in her body caused kidney stones to form. For that reason, she could not take more than one glass of milk every day.

Osteoporosis: How To Prevent Osteoporosis?

Yesterday, my mom had her bone scan for free at Gaisano Mall of Davao. Free bone scan was conducted by Anlene—a low-fat high calcium milk. Fortunately, my mom’s result was satisfactory. She is at low risk of osteoporosis. But I still doubt the accuracy of the said examination.

Anyway, they presented us with ways on how to prevent osteoporosis. First of all, you need to eat a healthy diet. A type of diet that contains essential bone nutrients. You also have to be physically active. By that it means taking part in weight bearing exercises, like running, jumping fast walking, etc.

Apart from that, you must quit smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages and caffeinated drinks. In other words, live a healthy lifestyle.

Those are just few of the ways you and I can do to maintain healthy bones. And remember to drink two glasses of milk every day.
